Hannecart is a force on and off the decks, carrying an explosive energy and raw taste in music which is impossible to ignore. Born Lorena Hannecart from the Dominican Republic, the Liquids resident and member of the VBX roster has a deep connection with music. With grandparents who toured as classical musicians and parents who took pleasure in sharing music at home, it wasn’t long before Lorena’s own musical identity started to take shape.
Her early days behind the decks were nurtured by the local collective Zoresti, a creative hub on her home island responsible for bringing international talent to the Dominican Republic. Zoresti gave her a platform and the space to grow as an artist. But in 2020, Hannecart followed a deeper call—back to her roots. Returning to her birthplace wasn’t just a physical journey; it was a chance to dive deeper into the sounds that moved her.
Fast forward to 2024, and Hannecart is no stranger to the capital city of the Netherlands, where her craft has been forming with undeniable force. Now a resident DJ at Liquids, she’s been making waves across Amsterdam, landing coveted spots at revered parties like Slapfunk and VBX—two of her biggest sources of inspiration. Her sets are a seamless journey, effortlessly weaving between house, minimal, electro, and breaks, tailored perfectly to the vibe of the moment. It’s not just her selection that captivates, but her presence—she moves with a sixth-sense for timing, leaving dance floors enchanted and always hungry for more.
With performances at Lofi, Shelter, and Thuishaven under her belt, Hannecart is on a path of musical growth. She’s more than a DJ—she’s crafting moments that stick long after the music fades.
