Last week we celebrated 10 years of our Youtube Channel Venus Tunes, which also would become the name of the label. 300 videos uploaded, worth more than 800.000 views, mostly jazz, funk and house. Most videos are filmed by Robert Glass. How did it start? It all started after this event: We bumped into the James Brown Band by coincidence, july 2006 in Istanbul, jamming with them after the James Brown concert (Parkorman) in Mayotte, a music cafe on Istiklal Caddesi and we didn't have a video camera with us, just some very unusable videos and luckily we made some pictures with the band and with James Brown earlier that day. Unneccessarily to say that it was a burning jam, during absence of a camera the funk was present! We regretted that we didn't have the camera with us! From that moment on the camera and Robert became ONE...
I have many favourites, especially the Bimhuis gigs, touring with Fred Wesley in France, but also performing with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, playing with dj's... impossible to mention my favourites. Which ones are your favourites?
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.
