Old Technology

Jan Liefhebber has been an important element of the Dutch techno scene since the early 90’s. In 1995, he set up the record label Highland Beats to provide a platform for the acid and techno that he played in his DJ sets. Highland Beats became one of the most successful techno labels of the 90’s, inspiring many labels and artists over the years.

Jan's DJ career started off in the underground techno scene, organizing parties in unique industrial locations like abandoned farm houses, fields, tunnels, and warehouses. His musical diversity and refreshingly different sets quickly made him stand out. The popularity of Highland Beats fueled his success and led to international bookings.

In 2003, Jan released his first co-production which resulted in numerous remix requests. He has since (co-)produced on many prolific labels. Jan remains a sought-after DJ because he doesn't let trends dictate what he plays while still evolving and progressing.

After releasing multiple records on Highland Beats and its sub-labels HBLTD, Body: Art: Form, and Klirfactor, Jan decided to start a new project reflecting his current sound. In 2008, Eterno Records was launched as a joint venture with partner Jenny Rose.
