Ben Liebrand (Dutch pronunciation: ['b?n 'li.br?nt]) (born 27 September 1960 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands) is a Dutch dance music DJ and remixer.
He has produced for artists such as Forrest and MC Miker G & DJ Sven and remixed tracks by artists such as Michael Jackson, Salt-N-Pepa, Sting, TLC, Fun Fun, Tavares, Bill Withers, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, George Aaron, Rick Astley, SWV and Phil Collins.
He has also charted under his own name, an example of which was Ben Liebrand's version of "Eve of the War". His radio show "In The Mix" was the first non-stop mixed show that aired on Dutch National Radio in 1983.
Early listeners were Armin van Buuren and Tiësto, who have cited Liebrand as their main reason for entering the music business.
"In The Mix" also spawned an annual yearmix with 100+ tracks called "The Grandmix." The first series of Grandmixes aired from 1983 to 1992 and later versions from 1999 on are also released on CD.
