Randstad is the music moniker of Dutch trans-disciplinary artist, Thomas van Linge. Currently residing in Berlin, van Linge founded and runs the record labels Rubber and BAKK together with Nic Borst and Ruben Verkuylen, alongside curating a bi-weekly podcast series, Rubber Tijd. As a DJ & Producer under the Randstad alias, he has built a loyal following through his high-energy sets and originality on stage, in the studio and through his radio residency on HOR, Berlin. Following a contribution to a compilation on Rotterdam’s premiere alternative electronic outlet, Pinkman, Randstad emerged in full form on the same label, with a 6-track debut entitled “Stranded” released in May, 2019. The Mini-LP on Pinkman was a distinct and accomplished production, dripping in a seductive, unapologetic originality as it worked it’s way from industrialised beat trax, to brain melting leftfield electronics.
