Rob is 28 (but needs his beard to actually look like it), loves music, adventures and spontaneous people. His scribblings are about these things too, so if you share his interests, stay tuned!

A mixtape from an Amsterdam based DJ every Monday to kick-start your new week. Archive here.

After only one year behind the decks disco DJ Helena Naeff, a.k.a. Hellie Berry, has already scored herself a residency at the Chicago Social Club’s successful night de Nachtdivisie and experienced playing for a sold-out Paradiso. All this didn’t come from nothing of course: she was raised on a diet of soul and funk from Aretha Franklin, Etta James, James Brown and Sly Stone by her mom. Music comes from the heart, and nobody proves this more then Hellie Berry. When you see her in the booth, she will be all smiles and literally shining, while pumping out deep house and nu-disco tracks from both today and from long forgotten times.

In this mix I went looking for my deeper and sensitive side, but I kept it groovy. Feel the sounds of Crazy P, Floating Points, Erdbeerschnitzel and more. Enjoy!
