October 12th - Insomniax, Landgraaf

Last saturday it was time, to return where we started to go the hardcore parties, Landgraaf.

Bruce and I used to go a club called Eclipse ( former Galaxy ), where all our heroes ( Neophyte, Buzz Fuzz, Darrien Kelly, Panic etc. ) came to play.

On the other side of the Square was another club, who wasn't hardcore. That club was called Las Vegas, and that's was the location where we had to play last saturday.

Our settime was from 1 tot 2 AM, and when we arrived it was cozy packed. People were full of energy and it was time to rock ! Tim ( Dj Extreme ) played before us pretty mainstream so we could kick in with some dirty early stuff ! People loved it ... We even had some sing alongs !

This is what we came for .. Thanks Las Vegas, you rocked !

Other dj's that night were my man D-Ultra, Reemke, Robson Bordella and Lady Lena.

Our photographer also made a lot of cool pictures, and you can check them out at http://www.facebook.com/criticalmassmusic

Schedule week 41

Friday we will rock a small city, where we used to party when Bruce and I were still teenagers .. ( back then we went to E-xlipse ) .. the town is called Landgraaf, well known for his big festival ( Pinkpop ) in May.

• October 12th - Insomniax, Landgraaf

It's a small club but it's always nice to play in our own area.

October 5th - Time2BeHappy, Würselen

Second gig of friday was one in Germany, Würselen to be exact ..  It's near Aachen next to the Dutch border. This party was organized by our friends from Sonicbangers, which is one of the leading hardcore organisations in NRW Germany ...

Our settime was 12 AM, but due to the bad weather we arrived at 12.15. Sorry ! We drove like mad, and any faster wasn't going to be safe anymore. Before us, Tim ( Dj Xtreme ) played and he played 15 minutes more for us ( thanks Tim ! )

It was quite packed in Berks Dancing, so this party was ready to go ! It was already a pretty good atmosphere so we had a good lift off.

Our set was well received, and we got a lot of good responses ! It was like a good old gabber party, great stuff ! Well done Sonicbangers !

We even signed some t-shirts just like back in the day.

Our set went on till 2.40 AM and after us Mister 'At The Count of 3' Chosen Few did his thing. Lots of Mokums came by. It was a lot harder and faster than our set, but people still picked it up.

After Chosen Few, the one and only Dj Paul was up, and although I was also the host of this event, he brought his own microphone master with him, MC Ruffian. So I couldn't do much there. Paul did a very good set, starting from very commercial to hard, and back and forth ... Lots of energy there!

All in all a great evening ! Eindhoven and Würselen, you were both great ! Hoping to be back very soon !

October 5th - House Of Revolution, Eindhoven

Last friday we had two gigs in 2 different countries .. The first one was opening House Of Revolution in Beursgebouw in Eindhoven ..

Opening is always a thing, because when you start, the chances are big there aren't much people around yet. Beursgebouw is a pretty big building, which can hold about 7/8000 partypeople ( we were here on Queensday and the placed was packed ).

When we arrived ( 9.45 PM ) the building was still pretty much empty ( only organisation and bar people ) but after the doors opened, and we started our set, people came in ... after abut 20 minutes, I think 6/700 people were already partying. They really showed us love ! Eindhoven is always great to play ! In the end there were about 1500 people which was awesome ! This was a great way to start to evening !

We didn't had much time to stay, because at 12 AM it was already time to start our next dj set!

Other dj's that night were Flamman & Abraxas, Mental Theo, Dune and The Darkraver.

Schedule week 40

Friday we will have two gigs again ... and again two different ones ! One in Holland and the other one in Germany.

• October 5th - House Of Revolution, Eindhoven
• October 5th - Time2BeHappy, Aachen ( GER )

In Eindhoven we will start the party and afterwards we will drive ( fast ) to Aachen, because there we will do a dj set and I will host the party!

September 29th - Experience The 90's, Weert

After our set in Leeuwarden, it was time to drive ( read fly ) and convert a 3 hours drive into a 2 hours drive. So it was driving 170 km/h.

Our Tom Tom said arrival at 3.02 AM, but in the end we arrived at 2.27 AM. Unfortunately due to miscommunication we had to play from 2AM tot 3AM, so that was a real bummer, because the people there really wanted to party!

After a conversation with a manager of the club, we cleared stuff and we will be back soon in Club Experience in Weert!

Other dj's were Dune ( Hardcore Vibes ) and our friend Dj Freeze.

September 29th - The 90's Are Back, Leeuwarden

It had been a long time, since we were in Leeuwarden, a beautiful town up in the north of Holland ( a 3,5 hours drive ) Last time we played in one of the coolest clubs in Holland, Noa .. We did the live act, at a party called House The 90's, an early hardcore concept promoted by MC Da Mouth Of Madness. Very nice !

Now it was time to go a bit more commercial, because this was a real 90's party ! And that means no loud basses, but only the coolest happy hardcore tracks, with some eurodance in between. People needed to singalong just like in the 90's, and they did ! Wow what response ! Location was Schaaf City Theater.

I saw girls 'gabberdancing' ( in Dutch they call it 'hakken' ) on their pumps, so awesome ! We played all classics one hour of real happy hardcore. 'Hardcore Vibes', 'Rainbow In The Sky', 'Wonderfull Days' and many many more.

At the end it was time for one more track .. so we did the one track everybody sings along, even if you're drunk lol .. it was time for 'I Like It Loud' from Marshal Masters. What a great track that is. It rocked our set big time !

Thank you Leeuwarden for that great response during our set, thanks you 'The 90's Are Back' for having us and we hope we can visit Leeuwarden very soon again !
