Han Beukers
Biography
The dream of becoming a dj began at an early age for Rotterdam born Han Beukers (1966). As a youngster he listened to the soul show and mixes of Ben Liebrand on the radio. In the eighties he spent many hours listening and buying the latest new import records at Hotsound in Rotterdam where he also witnessed the birth of the house and later the trance music. During that time he regularly played at school parties under the artist name of “Studio1999”. His sales and marketing career in Telecom & ICT brought him a different path during that time.
Uplifting Trance
When Ferry Corsten played the track Out of the Blue (Violin edit) at Trance Energy Han became passionate about Uplifting Trance. Throughout the years and thanks to the many (Dance & Trance) festivals, the dj booth continued to attract. In the summer of 2015 he refuled his old hobby and dream by buying a Numark DJ-set. The mixes he made as a bedroom dj were picked up by RTV Krimpenerwaard and in February of 2016 he launched a weekly radio show called Time4Trance. The fan base of this live radio show is steadily growing.
