My latest mix is now online. Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 19:00h. In addition, earlier Venus Tunes Sessions shows are repeated every Friday between 20:00-21:00 and Tuesday 21:00-22:00.Freak 31 has around 250 daily listeners (less during the week, more in the weekend) and a total of +10.000 listeners every month. In addition to Mixcloud and Hearthis, all mixes are also available as podcasts on Deezer and iTunes.It was in 2015 when I had my first official dj gig and since 2016 I started to perform regularly. 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.

Clothes, food, mood... Patience is another thing. Often you have to leave befor the traffic jam and even arrive after traffic jams get in full effect. So you arrive at the venue at 17h. Wait, eat a very early dinner, soundcheck at 18.30h, wait, do make-up, wait, play at 20.15, finish at 22:15h, quickly pack all your stuff and drive hom again. I'm happy that there was a bus so we could drive together most of the times. Photos by Natascha Verheij Fotografie.Overall it was an interesting experience with disciplined people and nice music. It was a challenge for me to step out of my role of being a band leader or soloist and stick to the script every night we played. Of course it felt like a privilege also, to travel throught the Netherlands and Belgium and play soulful music for people who love Motown music. For you who saw it: Thanks for buying a ticket and attending!! And if you plan to come tonight or tomorrow: Enjoy the show!
