Jetti

As a DJ, club founder, programmer and record label head, Jetti has pushed electronic music of the highest calibre through her adopted city for well over a decade. You’ll struggle to find any name more synonymous with Rotterdam’s underground scene. A musical fanatic from an early age, she’s developed an almost encyclopaedic knowledge that runs as deep as it is wide. From evenings spent with her dad in smoky jazz cafés to teenage electroclash phases, and I-F induced italo obsessions, she’s passionate about it all. A born programmer that was always destined to share her love for music in all its forms. Growing up within touching distance of the Netherlands’ major cities, the bright lights and low rumbles of pulsing basslines were always tantalising on the horizon. With a first taste of Rotterdam’s club scene in her early teens, she’s continued down the rabbit hole ever since, surrounding herself with club culture and raves on either side of the law. Inspired by Berlin’s late night bars, she began throwing parties in the empty buildings of Rotterdam’s West Kruiskade district. What would follow is the story of the city’s most influential venue of modern times. Jetti dropped out of University to co-found BAR and build an institution that lives on in the hearts of all those connected with the city’s underground dance music community. A class act behind the booth, she refines her broad interests into a foundation of sleek house and techno, and from this base ventures into any number of other genres with effortless dexterity. Co-founding BAR Records with her long time collaborator, Post, she’s kept the sound of the fabled venue alive since its closing in 2019. Without any single genre in mind, the pair push whatever latest cuts catch their ear from an ever widening pool of friends within the scene. Today, she’s the programmer at Rotterdam’s newest venue, BIT Club, channelling her boundless energy into curating events that bring the best out of the space and the artists she continues to be inspired by.
