He has produced for artists such as Forrest and MC Miker G & DJ Sven[1][2] and remixed tracks by artists such as Alexander O'Neal, Salt-N-Pepa, Sting, TLC, Fun Fun, Tavares, The Limit, Bill Withers, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Hot Chocolate, Pia Zadora, The Doobie Brothers, The Art Of Noise, Dimples D and Phil Collins.
[3][4] He has also seen success under his own name, a prime example being his remix of Jeff Wayne's "The Eve of the War", which reached number three[5] on the UK Singles Chart in 1989.
There were only two Grandmixes (1988 and 1989) that were released on limited edition CD exclusively for members of the UK Disco Mix Club.
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).
At his longest residency to date at "The Keizer Karel" (1980–1988) played a five-hour set each night after the club first opened.
His "In the Minimix" was always played at "two records past nine" (twee platen over negen) and formed an important part of the popular radioshow.

Many of Liebrand's remixes, released as singles, including Bill Withers "Lovely Day" and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" were premiered as 'minimixes' on this radio show.
