It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post, and I’ve got lots to talk about! …topic number one on the agenda is the addition of Storyteller (Matthijs Breijer) to our Meet the DJs section!

As with all of our other DJs, we asked Storyteller to give us an exclusive free mix (which I’m listening to for the upmpteenth time as I write this post), and it’s Rock Solid I’m not going to delve deeply here into his bio; we’ve prepared a profile page for him that does that. I will, however, mention the basics…

Storyteller is from the Netherlands, and he favors the progressive genre – though some of his more recent materials seems to operate on the fringes of the genre. A lot of the RV community probably already knows Storyteller for his massive productions on labels like Toes in the Sand. He’s a young artist, just 24 years old, and he definitely has a exceptional feel for the music.

Now for a few tidbits you won’t find in his profile…

The RV team clearly knew Storyteller’s name (since we’re selling his tunes in our store), but our interest was piqued in getting him on the site after one of his mixes aired on the Shake Down Podcast. That was the first time I’d ever heard Storyteller the DJ, and I must say I was quite impressed! (In fact, if you haven’t heard that mix, you should go grab it at www.shakedownpodcast.com.)

I asked Chris Reddick, the host of the Shake Down Podcast, to put me in touch with Storyteller and to float the idea of his joining our site. Storyteller was receptive to the idea, and from there we just made it happen. …working with this guy has been a real pleasure.

I can honestly say that the RV DJ roster has some super cool people on it, and Storyteller is one of them. After corresponding with him, it’d be really cool if we could go grab a beer and chat about music, etc., but alas we’re on different continents. Working with Storyteller and getting him on our site starkly reminded me about one of the best parts of my job, namely that of meeting and working with great people who are dedicated to electronic music.

I hope you enjoy Storyteller’s mix as much as I have!
