REN VAN LEER http://ourprojects2u.blogspot.com/ http://soundcloud.com/ourprojects :::BIO::: Ren Van Leer first discovered the house music sound at a very early age in the city of Chicago, IL. During the mid – eighties was when Ren was first influenced by the Hot Mix 5 on WBMX radio station. The Hot Mix 5 consisted of Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Mickey "Mixin" Oliver, Scott "Smokin" Silz, Ralphi Rosario and Kenny "Jammin" Jason on the airwaves. “The first time I heard House Music I could not help myself ...I had to dance". Recalls Ren, “House was a Culture, Everything nice was HOUSE” Thru the sounds of the music Ren Learned how to “feel” the music by dancing to the House Music sound. Ren eventually moved on to learning to become a DJ in the early 1990’s. As time passed he has experienced allot of different stages of House music and it sounds throughout the time. As the sound of House Music changed so did Ren’s talents. Ren began reaching out to the house community through two turntables and a mixer taking it step by step. Once he felt that he had a good understanding and respect for the turntables and his music collection he decided to try his hands at producing. Ren began working and cranking out tracks for the masses to enjoy through the use of the Roland MC-303’s and keyboards....At this point in the late 1990's Ren was working with The Organic Grooves Family and Dungeon Records. The Organic Grooves Family consisted of a network of DJ’s and Producers from the Mid-West. Once he was with Organic Grooves family he produced and played Live P.A. for several years amongst some of the more credible names of the House Music community Mystic Bill, Bill-e, DJ Impact, and Paul Anthony to name a few.. During this time was when he recorded "Hornie and Shot of Love". With tracks at his hands that were filling dance floors every time he plugged in. He then decided to expand on his live show by incorporating the turntables back into his live performances. This formed a new sound for Ren which created his moniker Beat Tweaker. Once Beat Tweaker Productions came about it was a change in the scene that no one had expected from him. With the ability to manipulate tracks live in the booth to cater to the dance floors where he was, the dance floors was always in for something new when Ren was present. Ren decided to move ahead in his career and started DreamScape Sessions and Our Projects which are music production labels that has DJ’s and Producers with a professional sound.
