Rotterdam birthed gabber and hardcore in the 90s, and today the city thrives on techno, house, and bass-heavy sounds. Venues like Annabel, Maassilo, and clubs in the Witte de Withstraat area host both local selectors and international guests. Research which DJs spin your style and check their recent sets to find where your sound fits.
DJs want finished, mixable tracks with strong energy and clear production. They value artists who understand their sets and vibe. You don't need thousands of followers, just music that works on a dancefloor and fits their selection style.
Cold DMs and emails rarely get opened. On Groover, DJs commit to listening and replying within 7 days. If they don't respond, you get your credits back.
Rotterdam has always punched above its weight in electronic music.
