As a DJ Michael Rütten represents the original old school freestyle approach. A little bit of Paradise Garage & The Loft vibe mixed up with the here and now. Its the tune that counts, not the genre. If it‘s good, you will hear it on soulsearching and in his unique eclectic and improvised DJ sets. It's all about the atmosphere and going with the flow.
Lately Michael Rütten has also been teaming up with well known drummer Oli Rubow for improvised DJ x Live Drumming sets. An extension of eclectic DJ sets, all about energy and sudden synergy. Uniting acoustic and electronic elements, sweat and funk, teamwork being right there in the moment!
„Helloo! We’re happy to welcome Michael Rütten again. For decades, his radio shows, DJ sets, and events have connected audiences through an encyclopedic love of music that spans soul, jazz, funk, disco, deep house, techno, and far beyond. Few selectors move between genres as naturally as he does, always guided by an instinct for bringing people together. We’re thrilled to have him closing Saturday night. (Jazz Montez Holidays Festival 11.7.2026)“

Als DJ und Radiomoderator vertritt Michael Rütten den ursprünglichen Old-School-Freestyle-Ansatz.
Ein bisschen Paradise Garage & The Loft Vibe gemischt mit dem Hier und Jetzt. Es ist der Tune, der zählt, nicht das Genre. Wenn Rütten von einem Tune überzeugt ist, hört man ihn in seinen einzigartigen und improvisierten DJ-Sets.
Going with the flow.
Seit 2022 bildet Rütten zusammen mit Oli Rubow das DJ x Live Drumming Duo Rütten & Rubow. Hierbei geht es um gutes Teamwork, aber auch um Interaktion, um die spontane Improvisation, die zu einem einzigartigen Ergebnis führt. Es geht um Konserven und das Hinzufügen des menschlichen Faktors, es geht um die Vereinigung von akustischem und elektronischem Ansatz, gerne mit Schweiß und Funk (im Gegensatz zu Kraftwerks Ideal dieser Verschmelzung), es geht um den Moment, es geht um Energie!
