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.
