Bart van Rijn delivers 100% exclusive tracks mix

Dutch producer Bart van Rijn has established himself as a versatile force in electronic music, returning recently to his label STUG with the dynamic STUG013 release. This two-track EP, featuring "GIVING" and "CRASH," epitomizes van Rijn's signature sound, moving seamlessly between genres like tech-house, deep house, and techno. "GIVING" is a lush, warm track that feels especially fitting for the colder months, while "CRASH" delivers a high-energy, peak-time groove crafted for the dancefloor. STUG013 is van Rijn’s third consecutive release on his label, following "Waves" on STUG012, and he’s already gearing up for STUG014, titled "Alive," set to drop in early 2025.

The STUG label itself, which Bart founded, started as a club night series in The Hague, embodying the city’s distinct, unyielding character and love for quality techno and house music. Since relaunching the label in 2017, Bart has been committed to releasing top-notch music, often inviting respected artists like Skudge, Works of Intent, Pablo Bolivar, and Lady Blacktronika to collaborate, alongside his own original productions. His curatorial approach balances creative freedom with a discerning ear for remixes, allowing each artist to bring their unique sound to the STUG imprint without constraints.

In addition to his production work, Bart has recently contributed an exclusive mix for Nightclubber, featuring 100% of his own music—a testament to his growing repertoire and creative energy. Recorded in one take, the mix showcases his knack for blending established and emerging sounds, culminating in an hour-long journey that reflects Bart’s love for dub, tech-house, and hypnotic grooves. Bart’s consistent dedication to his craft, both as a label head and artist, ensures his place as a mainstay in the electronic music scene, embodying the spirit of an industry rooted in passion and discovery.
