Schedule week 39

After almost 2 weeks off ( where I spent one week on the beautiful island of Sicily), it is time to get on stage again ... this saturday we are playing at 2 different locations.
  • September 29th - The 90's Are Back, Leeuwarden
  • September 29th - Experience The 90's, Weert
In Leeuwarden we will do a real commercial dj set, because it's a real 90's evening ( other audience then we are used to ) and in Weert we will close down so that will be haaaardcore. Everything is possible right ... ? They don't call us the 90's PARTYSQUAD for nothing right ... ?

Schedule week 38

This whole week there will be no gigs because tomorrow I am going on holiday ! A well deserved one ( at least I think so ) ... the destination : SICILY !

Talk to you next weeeeeeek !

September 15th - 90's Night, Hoensbroek

Saturday was a complete different party as the day before. A small bar, with just a handfull of people, but the party atmosphere wasn't less ...

This was a 90's party, with all kinds of music from the nineties, ( from oldschool r&B tot Spice Girls lol ) but where we ofcourse played a happy/early set ( to take people back to that infamous 90's hardcore scene ... )

It started of pretty low-key, but after a few tracks people got loose! At the end, everybody in the bar was doing the oldschool gabber moves .. lol ..

And that's what we are all about ! We just want to see people move and go crazy ! Great response afterwards !

Pictures were taken by our own photographer Jasper and will be be shown at our own facebook page : Critical Mass Music

September 14th - Nightmare in Germany, Bochum

Last friday it was NIGHTMARE time ! Location, not oldschool Rotterdam but Bochum ! The Event Center to be exact.

More than 30 dj's, mc's and acts rocked 3 different stages .. Some of the biggest names were representing the hardcore scene ... Tha Playah, Partyraiser, Promo, Endymion, Darkraver, Bass-D and godfather Paul Elstak.

We were happy to be there, cause these events you don't wanna miss out. It's always cool to meet so many colleagues.

After a 1,5 hour drive, we arrived at the location which was pretty big. Our setttime was very good, from 2 to 3 AM.

Many guys from the last time we were in Bochum were there too, it was very cool to see them again ! We played a very nice set ( I do say so myself ) and got many compliments afterwards.

Thanks again Bochum ! You are definitely hard 2 da core ! Thanks also to Alex Events for having us !

Schedule week 37

This weekend we will have 2 gigs, one on Friday and the other on Saturday. Both very different from eachother. Friday will be in Germany, at the infamous Nightmare in Germany, so lots of early hardcore and Saturday we will rock some great happy hardcore tunes in a bar not too far from where we live.
  • September 14th - Nightmare in Germany, Bochum ( GER )
  • September 15th - 90's Night, Hoensbroek
The good combination of one hard and one 90's is cool, because that way we can show people we are quite diverse. We just want to make a party! Call us the 90's PARTYSQUAD !

September 7th - Happy Typhoon, Utrecht

Last friday it was the first time that we rocked Utrecht as a dj team. As Critical Mass live ( together with Ludmilla ) we've been here a couple of times including the infamous Mystery Land 'Winter Edition' in 1997 where I rocked with my buddies Drokz, Mouth Of Madness, Weirdo and the rest.

This time, it was Bruce and me rocking stage ( well actually the dj booth ), but the cool party was it was in a rockcafe. Utrecht is a very big student city, so hardcore parties are pretty rare. At this particular location, Stairway to Heaven, it was the first ever harder style party. Normally there are bands playing here, and their is live music. Maybe some soul, or disco music. But now it was happy and early hardcore brought to by For-U productions, MC Tha Watchers' organisation.

Unfortunately the headliner, Paul Elstak, was cancelled but they had a great replacement called DARKRAVER .. Other dj's that night were The Beast, OCD, Mercenary, Freeze, The Menace and the guys of Basic Grooves.

Our setttime was from 2.00 - 3.00AM, and when we arrived at about 1.15AM, it was not that crowded. However, the people that were present, were partying like mad! And that's the vibe we need to have at these early hardcore parties! We played a very nice set and got some serious positive feedback from people in the crowd. GREAT !

Thanks to Tony ( MC Tha Watcher ) for having us at his #oneofthosenights Happy Typhoons.

Partypictures that were made by our own photographer Jasper will follow soon!

Schedule week 36

This friday it's time for our first time Utrecht with our dj team! We are playing in a wellknown bar/cafe in the middle of Utrecht, one of Hollands biggest cities! We are so looking forward!
  • September 7th - Happy Typhoon, Utrecht
Normally this is a rockcafe, so this will be the first time they play hardcore! I am really anxious what goes on there! This party is organized and hosted by my man Tha Watcher, so this could be an epic party! Be there !!!

September 1st - Birdman Reloaded, Horst

The 1st of September it was time for a nice 90's party in Horst, a place 45 min from where we live. 

We came from an electrohouse festival ( Feels Like Love, Geleen ) so we already had a partyvibe! Now it was time for us to let the people know how we partied in the 90's ...

Our settime was from 12 to 2AM, and after us was our friend Dune ( Hardcore Vibe ) so we had plenty of time to play all kinds of tracks.

This time we did a lot of real happy hardcore tracks from colleagues Paul, Theo, Partyanimals and the others and it was great. Just like a real 90's Partysquad! We saw people who weren't really into hardcore dancing like mad! That's the way it should be ! And that special request we got from a girl in the audience ( Doooominator ) kicked like a MF!

Thank you Cafe de Lange for hosting this mad 90's party and we hope we will be back soon ! For part 2 ! ;)

We will post the pictures our new photographer made very soon. Stay tuned !
