Royalty For Real goes India

23-04-2025


So the first time we played the music from "Royalty For Real" wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!
Here you'll see me play "Au Privave", "Classy Cats" and "Royalty For Real", together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).
"Au Privave" is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)
Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it!

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:
