I had to come give you some love on the speakers. i almost fell over on. Haha thank you one and all for being the best crowd. You came down in the insane heat and owned it. I seriously needed that injection of life. One love DETROIT & especially @movementdetroit for always representin and giving us the tools to love ❤️ Thank you so much xxx Heidi

Hello world. I would really appreciate if you could take the time to read the statement written here, it does go into some personal and sensitive health issues so wanted to make people aware before reading. Thank you so much for your time ❤️💙🧡💜💚💖💛💋

I know it’s not considered cool anymore to talk about love on here but I want to shout it from the roof tops that it’s been 10 years today since we became inseparable. I couldn’t imagine being with anyone other than you. My absolute best friend & champion of everything that is good in the world. Solid as a rock & soft as cotton. ❤️ here is to the next chapter in our lives together @sfquirke

RECORD STORE RUNDOWN PT.4 @ivegotitonvinyl visited Phonica Records: London’s Vinyl Heartbeat Launched in 2003, and founded in Soho by Simon Rigg, Heidi Van Den Amstel & the late and dearly missed, Mr Tom Relleen ❤️, defying vinyl’s decline with a bold dance music vision. Pioneering electronic dealers, they became a magnet for DJs from all over the world. Going forward to launch the label in 2009 debuted with staff-produced tracks, later releasing early Peggy Gou and others. Hosting secret basement parties with the likes of Skream, Daniel Avery & Sherelle, fueled by craft beer & vinyl drops . Expanding across to opening a store in Berlin, but Phonica has always stayed true to its Soho roots, recently celebrating 20 years of Phonica.

I really can’t believe we’re here again. Saying goodbye to another wonderful person. Matt Tolfrey was someone whom i gravitated towards immediately. His humour was infectious. He was such a fun person to be around & unbelievably kind. We played together & b2b so many times across this planet. From Peru to Detroit, Barcelona, Miami, London, Amsterdam and the list goes on. He was a fixture at my Jackathon parties in the early days and also contributed a track “who’s the freak” made specifically for my 1st big mix release on the label. He loved taking the piss out of me on the regular and that became our language. We laughed uncontrollably at how ridiculous we both were. Matt was also extremely supportive to so many artists over the decades. He never had an ego & i firmly believe that he was in this industry for all the right reasons. He made sure women had a seat at the table back when it was 99 % dudes. His label Leftroom was a staple in all of our record bags in the early-mid nouties. I only have hilarious & warm memories of him. My heart goes out to his lovely Hayley & his beautiful little daughters. This is beyond heartbreaking. Make sure you tell your friends & family how much you love them. Life is precious. ❤️

To all of my Aussie 🦘& Kiwi 🥝 peeps. I’m truly grateful to be back with my @lostparadiseau family. This crew have always been incredibly supportive to me from the beginning of my journey as a DJ. They put so much love & effort into making this the best festival experience for you & their attention to the most minute detail shows immensely when you’re there. As i have said before I’m so happy to kick off 2026 in the sunshine dancing under the stars after a much needed sabbatical. This will be my 10th year performing here (i think 🥴) & i can’t begin to tell you how much I’m looking forward to kicking it with you beauts. 🙌🏽🤟🏽❤️👩🏼‍🦱 @finely_tuned @mrfinely @sseebbaassttii @yogidoulajeweller

I WANT A TIME MACHINE. A real moment w/ @jackmaster was captured in this video. Pure love. This was at @anniemacmanus first AMP “Lost & Found” festival in Malta in 2015. I was just popping over to have a boogie with the boys after dancing my ass off to Cajmere ( I was absolutely steaming by this point 😂) & Jack basically threw me on the decks with his music plugged in hence the extreme focus i had to not fuck up in front of all those people and my fellow Dj fraaands @artwork_is_up_to_something @skreamizm @djmoxie The warmth, love & chaos in this video just melts my heart. Dropping Artwork’s massive track with all of them in the booth pumping me up is just epic. Vibes galore! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i miss him & his dancing hugs (as well as him pestering the shit outta me whenever i played with his Glaswegian ass. Haha) massive love to @2010sravearchives for the video ❤️ HWFG 🙌🏽

Cat is out of the bag. After a much needed sabbatical. I’m back with my @buggedoutclub family. I was lucky enough to have played the Bugged Out Weekender in 2014,2015,2016 and now it’s back by popular demand. This line-up is beyond fierce. I absolutely LOVE every artist that is performing. I can tell you from personal experience that this is going to be more fun than you can ever imagine. Ease into 2026 with a 3 day rave. What could go wrong 😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I’m fucking back with a goddamn vengeance people 🤟🏽 last night was my first proper outing since having one of the most insane surgeries i think a woman can have 2 months ago. Those of you who know….know so i don’t have to repeat it. I don’t want to dwell on it. I’m so happy to move forward & I’m so grateful for every single person who beamed well wishes and good energy my way. It’s been a fucking brutal year (not all of it). Still a little ways to go yet but I’m almost there. Seeing a band that i have dearly loved for 30 plus years and seen many times was the greatest medicine. Thank you Alex @boysnoize for dominating in life & also being the sweetest dude ever by sorting us the dopest seats to your show. Watching you absolutely smash it with none other than @nineinchnails was beyond epic. I’m in awe of what you’ve achieved since we met in Berlin way back in the very early 2000’s. There aren’t many guys like you in this business. I can’t thank you enough. Your addition to the band truly injected a whole different vibe that I’m mega here for. It was brilliant. 🙌🏽🩵 Now about @nineinchnails They absolutely fucking destroyed the O2 last night. These videos do not do it justice. They truly put on one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen them play. Incredible set list. Songs I’ve never heard played live since the 90’s. The 3 stages, the lighting and visuals completely blew my mind but were so raw and stripped back that it complimented the intensity of the band whether they played really beautiful quieter songs or the sound they are most known for. I feel like so many acts now have too many bells and whistles and it detracts from the actual music. I feel the younger generation could learn a few tricks from the master of ceremonies Trent Reznor. It was so high end and absolute perfection. I love this band so much. It was an extremely cathartic and endorphin inducing night and I FUCKING NEEDED THAT. I sang my heart out, danced, cried, screamed. All the good stuff. Soooo big love to everyone who hooked a gal up last night. I’m so full of love, whiplash and no voice! That’s rock & roll baby . Now bring on the summer. I’m ready. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️

Happy New Years everyone. Well. What to say about 2024 that hasn’t already been said. Seems like a lot of people have had many trials and tribulations. Ups and downs. Wins and losses. Btw this isn’t a pity post. Just a lil insight. 😉 This year started off fantastic and then took a very sharp downward spiral at the end of a gruelling tour schedule at the very end of June. I was upside and inside out. My body and brain imploded at the same time. I have been putting my health second for far too long to keep up with the joneses in this beautifully insane job. 25 years in the music biz is a massive accomplishment which I’m so proud of but i had to take time out to finally look after myself for once. Healing is a slow process. The slowest in the world. I’m still doing it now. This was the first New Years Eve i haven’t worked since i was 12 years old. (Besides the obvious years of Covid). It’s been extremely challenging & upsetting but it had to be done. I keep looking back at all the gigs, clubs, countries and people I’ve been privileged enough to be alongside, dance & connect with. I’m an optimist so i will continue getting stronger & stay on my path of healing until I’m back to fighting form. I don’t know what 2025 holds for me. I thought last year was going to be MY year but oh i was so wrong. I just want to thank my nearest and dearest who looked after me. The mates who took the time out to check in on me. Apologies to those if i didn’t respond to but i mentally and physically couldn’t at the time. Just know i saw you & appreciated it more than you know. Here is to a year of discovery. 2025 is the age of Aquarius ♒️ after all which means A PERIOD OF CHANGE, REBIRTH & RENEWAL (exactly what the doctor ordered) Special thanks to my partner in every sense of the word Steve @sfquirke for always being my beacon of light & extreme strength. Also it his birthday today so send the old dog some love ❤️ big smooch from me to all of you. Xx 💋🥂🍾 Heidi

I just want to say thank you to my fairy gig mother @anniemacmanus for providing the best medicine a girl could ask for. I haven’t been out or on any social media since the end of June as I’ve been dealing with some very heavy personal stuff. Mental, emotional & physical pain. I’m not one to share my personal life out loud to the public but I had to take a massive step back from my career of 25 years to deal with many things. One thing i have realised over the past 4 months is that there is still an abundance of kindness out there. Getting to see one of my favourite bands @thecure in such a small intimate venue like The Troxy in London was insanely magical. I haven’t been around large groups of people or out at anything loud since my last show at Koko June 29th. For @he.she.they . It’s been a massive struggle but slowly but surely I’m getting better. 🙏🏼 It was a huge step in the right direction going to this concert. It was emotional, blissful & sonic perfection. I honestly can’t thank Annie enough for this last minute golden ticket. Thank you to Robert Smith for making me feel 15 again. 3 hours of what i would call heaven. Also seeing faces that i haven’t seen in years. It was just what the doctor ordered. Music has been my entire life. I’m working very hard to fix all the parts & put myself back together again. One step at a time. P.s. i highly advise watching this show back on YouTube as it was streamed live. Pure perfection. ♥️ 🌟🖤love always Heidi.
