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.

This on, Hot Dog, is from 1969.Rea more about him on Wikipedia. He's definitely one of my influences. I saw him at The Hague Jazz Festival a few years ago, I think in 2010 and it was marvellous. To see the joy of playing sax, performing and making jokes, entertaining the crowd and playing really well at this high age... This is what it's all about. I just had a look at his website; he's still performing, I don't know if he still travels to Europe but if he does it will be my top priority to see him once again...On his website he states: NO FUSION — NO CONFUSION, JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ, BEBOP & BLUES. It surely is...
