Jayzo started DJ'ing at Scheveningen beach back in 2010 where he was mesmerized by the magic of electronic music together with the alluring effect of the sun, sea and sand. Driven by this very passion for the shore, he became the resident dj of several clubs at this beach, still playing at some during the summers. While playing at clubs, Jayzo's sound is primarily centered around high energy raw techno, but he never fails to include influences of his love for progressive sounds in his sets. As the head of the cutting edge underground concepts Excess - The Movement and East Techno Collective, Jayzo paved his way through the Amsterdam scene with regular parties in and around Amsterdam. Holding residencies at Melkweg Amsterdam (Techno Tuesday Amsterdam), Paradiso Amsterdam (East) and previously Panama Amsterdam, as well as bookings around The Netherlands and beyond in 23 countries to date, he's shared decks with several heavyweights from the global underground scene. Jayzo's adventurous spirit has brought him to play in techno hotspots around the world such as London, Berlin, Barcelona, Beirut, Goa, Shanghai and more. Some of the most notable venues he has performed include: Melkweg Amsterdam, Paradiso Amsterdam, Air Amsterdam, Ministry of Sound London, EGG London, Kosmonaut Berlin, Celia Shanghai, City Hall Barcelona, Traxx Club Vigo, Waters Goa, STK47 Krakow, Moon Republic Beirut, BPM Hyderabad, PIP Den Haag and more. Recent festivals played: Geheime Liefde, Sneeuwbal Festival, HRFST, Hide Fest, Landjuweel. // GRDO The journey into electronic music started in 2004 when GRDO bought his first turntables, during that time he got inspired by the dutch trance dj’s. After a few years of playing trance his interest shifted to deep-house, but in 2015 he found the style that suits him the most Techno. Eventually GRDO got the chance to host his weekly radio show ‘Good Times Radio’ every Monday at Amsterdams Most Wanted. Even after 5 years of hosting the radioshow it’s still a pleasure for him to play every Monday. In 2019 another step was taken, becoming a resident at EAST Techno Collective. EAST Techno Collective is organized every Thursday and started in Club Panama Amsterdam, from 2022 on the party is organized at Club NL Amsterdam. A highlight for GRDO was making his debut in the legendary club Paradiso Amsterdam during EAST Techno Collective XL in the summer 2022! Techno music has become part of GRDOs life. // SHARDA harda has been influenced by electronic music from a young age, growing up in a home where house music was played daily. Naturally she could not wait to visit her first parties and from the moment she went to Trance Energy at the age of 16, she knew her love for electronic music and the scene was for good. Having produced large scale electronic music festivals for the past 5 years, working behind the scenes on the technical and hospitality aspects, she regularly took to the dance floor whenever she had the time. It didn't take long for her curiosity for playing music to spark. "I was always the one who arranged everything, but I did not play music myself. I wanted to learn it to understand my work and the artists better. Obviously, I was also very curious how it would be. But the feeling it gave me was beyond my wildest expectations". During one of these projects a DJ set was installed in the backstage room of Paradiso Amsterdam, where Sharda finally made the step to play. Having the backstage room go wild with her own choice in music and mixing, was another confirmation that she wanted to pursue this. Soon after it led to a gig at Georgie’s Wundergarten during the summer of 2022, Herremoes at Toekomstmuziek and at East Techno Collective. Sharda describes her style as eclectic electronic music, crossing genres with surprising elements and going with flow with the people on the dance floor. It can go anywhere between house, techno, acid, electro and trance. “My goal is to keep enjoying the energy the people on the dance floor give to me and that I can return this energy with the finest records”.
