“Long sets let me show the parts of myself that never fit into short slots. That is where I can really build something, shift directions and take people into places they do not expect.”


That moment stayed with him. It


opened a door in his mind about what emotion can do inside a set.


After the pandemic, he started returning to club nights. He noticed a similar


feeling in the sets of


newer names like Benwal and Tjade. They played fast and bright, with sincerity and fun, without losing edge. It reconnected him with something he had felt years earlier. He spent nearly all his time in the studio trying to translate that energy into his own sound.


“I just wanted to create my own version of that feeling.”


It was a return. A quiet but powerful shift that aligned him with the sound he wanted to push.


BUILDING AN INDEPENDENT WORLD


Before releasing his own music, Lammer spent seven years working behind the scenes for other artists and labels. He learned to design visuals, build artwork, develop branding and create stories. When it came time to release his own music, doing everything himself felt natural.


“I never wanted to wait for someone else to approve my ideas. Releasing music


on my own feels natural


because it keeps everything honest and connected to who I am.”


Independence is not an aesthetic choice. It is a workflow. It keeps the world consistent. The music looks like the visuals. The visuals feel like the story. The story sounds like the tracks.


Short sets, especially in the Nether- lands, come with expectations. People know his tracks. They know his energy. He embraces that pressure but never lets it define him.


Long sets are different. They stretch time and space. They let him show sides of himself that shorter slots cannot hold.


“Long sets let me show the parts of myself that never fit into short slots. That is where I can really build something, shift directions and take people into places they do not expect.”


He senses when the crowd trusts him. When people stop waiting for a big moment and follow the journey, the room becomes his space to explore.


THE RISE OF THE HIGHLY ROGUE UNIVERSE


Highly Rogue began as something personal. It was the first time he grouped tracks that came from the same emotional source. Fast, playful, nostalgic and modern.


“All four tracks carry the same idea, the mix of energy, fun and a bit of nostalgia, but in a way that feels like me today.”


He created the artwork, visuals and story. The universe grew around the music. It was not a release. It was a world.


He does not see Highly Rogue becoming a traditional label. He wants it to remain a creative ecosystem that expands with him.


“I want it to become a world around my sound, not just a label.”


It is early, but the direction is clear. It is not about scale. It is about identity.


A MOMENT OF EXPANSION This chapter


carries weight. Para-


diso all-nighters. Soenda extended sessions. Awakenings on New Year´s Day. Rooms that grow every month. Crowds that expand across Europe.


He holds all of this with calm pride. But he does not see these moments as arrivals.


“This moment in my career feels


special, but it does not feel like an arrival.


It feels like a beginning, and


that makes me want to push harder than ever.”


Pressure motivates him. Growth


challenges him. Evolution feels natural.


He is not reinventing himself. He is refining what was always there.


As the venues grow and the nights stretch longer, he remains connected to what began everything for him.


“This feels special, but I know it is just the beginning.”


Rotterdam built the foundation. Europe opened the path. Highly Rogue is the world he is shaping. And this new era feels sharper, more precise and more intentional than anything before.
