This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.

More live dates and details, see LIVEVenus Tunes Live is a powerful dj live act. Danceable, crossing over between jazz, funk, soul and house with a lot of original material and funky tracks by others. Changing positions - between standing behind the dj decks and rocking the mics front stage - makes the show dynamic and varied. Venus Tunes Live, named after Alt’s record label Venus Tunes, likes to interact with the audience and get everybody on their feet; clapping, singing, dancing and have a really good time.In 2016, Susanne Alt (saxophone player/producer/dj) impressed the international music scene with “Saxify”, an ambitious project including 36 of the finest and most experienced musicians from USA, Europe and Russia including Fred Wesley (trombone) and Gary Winters (trumpet). Alt started to ask herself how to ever perform the repertoire of Saxify on stage.. a monster project! Right after the album release, dance remixes started to come in from all over the world. They were played on radio stations everywhere, From USA to Australia, from Portugal to Japan... DJ Spinna’s and Opolopo’s remixes appeared in the Top 40 of dj portals Traxsource and Beatport. The decision was made: The Saxify repertoire should be performed in a contmporary setting, not by a traditional band. After some try-outs, this combination worked out really well: Susanne Alt (sax/dj), Mavis Acquah (vocals/dj) and Femke Krone (percussion/vocals) Venus Tunes Live is suitable for festivals, clubs, parties and events of all kind.
