.....more than 20 years ago, René Ottersbach, 42 years old, DJ and label manager (Livingroom records) started his career in a Cologne club where he played Funk and Soul.
Straight after the arising of the phenomenon House music, he became enthusiastic about this genre and has been ever since buying all the records that matched his Funky style.
Years later, when a club owner addressed him and asked him to come and play at one of his parties, no one realized that this moment was the start signal for his future, professional DJ career.
It was only one year later that René published his first Mix Compilation named “1night4friendsâ€. The limited edition of 500 pieces was completely sold out in less than 4 weeks.
The following year, he and Jorg Caspers – the latter already a successful organizer of events of, for instance, the in Germany unheard of successful Livingroom Party in Cologne – set up the label Livingroom-records. In 2003, his second CD compilation “PK2Bar Edition vol.1†appeared at Livingroom-records and was released worldwide.
René has ever since been scrupulously working on his style and continuously trying to bring it to perfection. His style stands for Funky Deep House with rather lively percussion influences.
René, who has not only played at the turntables of the lighthouse and PK2 Parties, has also in the meantime fascinated the Dutch audience with his sets of contemporary sound.
Since November 2004, René has made his appearance every eight weeks at the groovedelicious-deep Party in Leiden, largest Student city of the Netherlands.
Highlight 2003 for him was obviously the “Blue Element-Party†of RedBull where he shared the turntable with Germany’s best-known DJ..s.
2006 was an good year for René. He gets the new Residency at the Techhouse Party “The Fight Club†and 2007 additional the Residency together with Arthur Gore for the famous Privatemonkey Party in Düsseldorf.
In the summer he also played every Friday at Bonn..s new and beautiful Beachbar “Pearl Beachâ€.
In September 2006 he started his new Partyproject “The GO!Club†together with a friend. The reason was to established an Party where only soulful deephouse music from roots to promos run. They gets a big response and “The GO!Club†now runs every 8 weeks.
