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.
Early history
Liebrand began his DJ-ing career in 1976 at the age of 16 with his mobile set-up, "The B. Liebrand Audio Studio", playing parties around his hometown of Nijmegen. Two years later, when he became old enough to frequent nightclubs, he moved from mobile discos to a nightclub residency, playing in "Juicy Lucy" nightclub (1978–1979). At this point, he was still letting one record play into another without beatmixing; however in 1979, he began a residency at "The Kwien" (pronounced 'The Queen') nightclub (1979–1980). During this time, Liebrand learned the art of mixing from Kwien resident Huib Luiten.

**1 song removed with YouTube (trim)

The first Grandmix (1983) was originally named 'MonsterMix'.
During the first broadcast in 1983 the second tape turned out to be empty (the mix was divided over two tapes). As a quick replacement, side A of the High Fashion Mix Album by Ben Liebrand was used. One week later the mix was broadcasted as intended, but shortened due to time restriction.
This is the "Directors Cut" (from a later broadcast on Radio 538 in 1999). Tracks 69 to 74 were in the original mix, but not broadcasted in 1983. Some tracks were removed from this "Directors Cut" by Ben Liebrand. Nina Hagen - Zarah, Michael Jackson - Beat it, Michael Sembello - Maniac, (and a few more). Ben Liebrand states; "Believe me, nothing worth keeping is lost here as these extra tracks were only in the mix to make sure it was at least one full hour".

Facts about the Grandmix (pre 2000 series).
• The Grandmix appeared 10 times from 1983 to 1992 (as broadcast only)
• None of these 10 Grandmixes have been released for public purchase.
• Only GM88, 89 and 90 were available to members of DMC (Deejay Mix Club).
• Bootleg editions are GM1991 and GM1992
• So called Grandmixes from 1993* - 1999 are fake and not mixed by Ben Liebrand.
• In 2023 Ben Liebrand made a "surprise" Grandmix 1993 (*so it now exists)
• The Millennium Mix (3 hour mix, 31-12-1999), was the first legal to buy Grandmix (on 3xCD)
• The GM2000 up to GM20XX are legal releases.
Created as a minimix for Radio Veronica, I played this mix to 2500 DJ's at the DMC Mix Championship in The Hippodrome in London in 1988.
By noon the next day Virgin had contacted me for a release.
It brought another top 5 hit for Phil Collins and got me a sales award.
And here's a new view to this epic song:

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.
Early history
Liebrand began his DJ-ing career in 1976 at the age of 16 with his mobile set-up, "The B. Liebrand Audio Studio", playing parties around his hometown of Nijmegen. Two years later, when he became old enough to frequent nightclubs, he moved from mobile discos to a nightclub residency, playing in "Juicy Lucy" nightclub (1978–1979). At this point, he was still letting one record play into another without beatmixing; however in 1979, he began a residency at "The Kwien" (pronounced 'The Queen') nightclub (1979–1980). During this time, Liebrand learned the art of mixing from Kwien resident Huib Luiten.
chelsea cap last time that you smiled like that, you looked good in your chelsea cap. your face was thin, but your legs were fat. you questioned where all our lives were at. wasting time with some ageing lad, still good looking though your eyes were sad. you sold your books and you sold your flat, and ran to where your illusions sat. chorus: no-one but me to hear it no-one but me to fear it. no big deal, no big deal. no-one but you to be with, no-one but you to see with. no big deal, no big deal. not wanting to know what I know or needing to do what I do, every time I close my eyes, all I see is you, all I see. (chorus x 2) chorus 2: no-one but you to be with, no-one but you to see with. no big deal, no big deal.
