The Groove Collection Podcast

Around Us is a DJ / producer duo from Amsterdam who are making serious waves since 2018.

Working diligently day in, day out, growing and developing their style. Respected by their colleagues and admired by the people who consume their music on the dance floor. This is Around Us. The boys quietly joined forces, without fanfare or noise and they produced since that time a lot of productions. Today in 2021, all the key players kno...

I first met Jerry back in 2008 shortly after I had signed my first release on fellow Dutch man Eelke Kleijn's record label 'Outside The Box Music'.  We exchanged many emails about what my plans were for the future and Jerry assured me that if i kept up the drive and was proving my efforts in the scene that he would come back to me with an opportunity. 

Fast forward to late 2009 and that's when Jerry ask me to join the Groove Collec...

It was an honour to be asked to put together a mix to mark the 5 year passing of Jerry. He was much loved by many people inside and outside the music scene, and we shared a wealth of good times. We still miss him today. I've picked some tracks that represent the many nights we DJéd together, I would mostly open with techy tracks before Jerry took the vibe more melodic and progressive, tracks from producers Jerry loved such as...

A variegated background consisting of fusion of styles where the common thread is the true, unconditional and consistent passion towards electronic music and its evolution. This is the foundation of the artistic career of Graziano Raffa, Italian born DJ and Producer and Hernan Cattaneo’s right hand in their Sudbeat imprint.

His musical roots are fully represented in highly moving sets characterized by a very dynamic flow constantl...

I've only met Jerry a few times unfortunately, but I'm glad you keep the thought of him alive. I personally think you both like this mix. At least I hope so; from sensitive and beautiful to acid tech.

Thanks for the invite Harry

Founder of "The Groove Collection" Jerry van Schie started mixing dance music at the age of thirteen in 1980. Back then he was a big fan of the Italo disco sound. He recorded his mixes on cassette-tape and the cassettes became popular among friends. When housemusic started to get traction in Holland Jerry also collected records and made great mixes.  More and more people wanted the mixes on tape, so we decided to create a collecti...

"My relationship with The Groovecollection started almost 10 years ago when I was asked to join the GC roster, along with several friends. Jerry was immensely kind, passionate, and proactive in his approach to supporting and growing a healthy, vibrant, scene. I have been lucky enough to provide a few guest mixes over the years, as well as contributing a remix, to the GC collective.

When Jerry’s brother, Remco, asked me to compile...

After ADE 2019 i saw a video passing by on Youtube https://youtu.be/I6oOoehtexs

It was a short clip of the long video I recorded and edited during the Watt boat party with Hernán Cattáneo and Nick Warren. First reaction was, hé they rip my video to promote their track?, witch is a great track off course. I contacted the guys from Sound Avenue to applause them for using my video 😉  Chatting online with Dominique (Madloch) about ...

This month its again a very special one, a true friend and musical specialist  Eelke Kleijn. Enjoy the mix! Eelke Kleijns story how he knew Jerry:

Jerry and I met through Peter van Hal. I was just starting to make music at the time, being 17 or 18. Peter advised me to meet up with Jerry and perhaps do some music together. He was already DJing a lot at the time and had a very good idea of how he wanted his music to sound, wherea...

Going back in time, when I think about The Netherlands the first person that comes to my mind is Jerry van Schie.

I met him in the early 2000 when I started playing clubs & festivals in Amsterdam and he soon introduced me to his dutch friends and producers and he made sure to really quick to make me feel part of the group.

For global traveling djs like me, Holland is one of the best places to play around the world, a country where ...

I was very honoured when Remco asked me for the Groovecollection Podcast.

In the good old days of “progressive house”, the years when GU was leading, Sasha and Digweed the masters in disguise and Mark Zuckerberg was still in elementary School, the Groovecollection forum was an important progressive platform from the Netherlands. Jerry was responsible for running it and as a progressive artist I of course was a member of the forum. ...

I got introduced to Jerry somewhere around 1997 probably. I knew Remco and he was the one who introduced me to Jerry at the infamous Nighttown venue in Rotterdam. We hit it off immediately as we soon found out we shared the same passion for music. Jerry made a series of tapes called “The Groove Collection”which really spoke to me on many musical levels. It was also around that time that I became the booker of Extrema and because of...

My friend Jerry van Schie's brain child The Groove Collection started out as a forum for the progressive house community a long long time ago, in a time when we didn't have Myspace, Facebook or anything else. Social media avant la lettre as you will :) It expanded with a podcast series, bookings agency and record label throughout the years.

After Jerry's passing, his brother Remco van Schie made sure the podcast legacy lasted, and ...

Roger Boersma (The New Scientist) is friend from The Groovecollection family and a musical friend of Jerry. Roger has been around in the world of progressive house since he was a little kid. He made this mix as a thank you for Remco for bringing the podcast back to life. Please enjoy his soulful and atmospheric sounds!
