I’m not the one who’s posting regularly, but thisone needs some attention. The first time on @butik_emf and had the chance to play. What an experience 🥰 Opening the Hotel stage on saturday, with a two hours set of vinyl, to set the right vibe for a long fun night ahead.
Many thanks for the support by friends from The Netherlands and Slovenia and also some unknown dancers who messaged me after the gig they really enjoyed, this means a lot!
At least some special thanks for @alexranerro & @dvidevat for the hospitality and trust to give me the opportunity to play at this amazing festival.
Till next year for sure! ♥️💙💜
Artist Spotlight: Modus Operandi
For our next session on May 29th, we’re shining a light on a true aficionado and a long-time friend of the family: @modusoperandi.ams
If you’ve spent any time digging in Amsterdam, you’ve likely crossed paths with him. From his years behind the counter at the legendary @killacutzrecords to his presence on Discogs, vinyl has been the consistent thread through everything he does. He’s the one other DJs go to when looking for that one specific, elusive gem.
His serious vinyl collection is the result of years of dedicated digging, earning him respect across the scene. Behind the decks, it’s always about the flow. His style is warm yet energetic, blending intricate, tight grooves with heavy basslines that keep you moving.
The tracks you hear under these slides are pulled straight from his personal crates and can be found on his Discogs page.
Modus Operandi will be joining forces with @roemervoss for a B2B session, setting the floor for UK legend @darrenroachdj .
Since we’re keeping it intimate at @primos.ddd , capacity is limited. Make sure to lock in your spot in time!

For the next episode in our podcast series, we welcome Amsterdam-based selector Modus Operandi. A DJ whose deep connection to vinyl runs through every part of his sound and approach.
Spending years behind the counter at the iconic KillaCutz record store, Modus Operandi shaped not only his taste, but also a strong understanding of the culture and community surrounding dance music. That foundation still echoes through his sets today are thoughtful, groove-led and deeply rooted in warm feeling.
Drawing inspiration from the early days of house and tech house, his selections move through rolling rhythms, tight kicks and warm basslines with a steady sense of flow. Precise without ever feeling forced. Over the years, he’s brought that energy to some of the Netherlands’ most respected dancefloors, including Bret, Radion and Shelter, alongside international appearances such as Butik Festival.
For this episode, Modus Operandi delivers a proper journey that slowly unfolds. Layer by layer, the mix deepens into something hypnotic and immersive while balancing warmth and tension with ease.
Dive in and enjoy.

The secret is out! For our next intimate session on May 29th, we’re bringing true master of the groove @darrenroachdj to Amsterdam.
Known for his deep, driving signature sound and a record bag that spans decades, Darren is the kind of DJ that keeps you locked in without ever breaking the flow. It’s all about the swing and that deep rhythmic energy: exactly the vibe we love for our upstairs sessions.
To set the stage, we’ve invited close friend @modusoperandi.ams for a beat2beat with @roemervoss . Expect them to dig deep and set the tone for Darren.
Because we’re heading back to the intimate upstairs room, capacity is limited.
