December 15th - Rainbow Rave, Uelsen

Last saturday it was time for an old fashion 'Happy Hardcore' party ... the winter edition of RainBow Rave. 4 years ago, we started Critical Mass at this party, at this location, so it always cool to be back.

The location is the megaclub ZAK, in Uelsen, Germany. It's pretty long drive for us, but always worth it.

The line up was awesome. 2 live acts, and 4 dj's! Bass-D, Waxweazle, Paul Elstak and us ! Plus our friends from 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor and 4-Tune Fairytales !

We had the kick off. Our settime was from 12.30 till 02.00 AM, which was okay since we were attending Thunderdome after this.

The club was not too crowded when we arrived ( the night was still young ). The dancefloor was empty, and all people were having drinks and stood around it. This I had to change ofcourse.

After 5 minutes the first people came to the dancefloor, after 15 minutes this was changed to let's say 25 people ... At the end of our set the dancefloor was full and the hands were all the way up in the air ! Very nice Uelsen ! We liked it !

After us it was time for Des'ray and D-Rock to play for all those enthousiastic people ! As the vibe was set, I think that would not be a problem ! Unfortunately we had no time to see the others, because we were attending the last Thunderdome in Amsterdam !

Here are some partypictures made at Rainbow Rave :

November 17th - Pump Up The 90's, Hardenberg

Although I normally play only with my dj Bruce ( Mogwai ), the Pump Up The 90's organisation asked me if I could do some hosting with our good friend Dj Bass D .. because I love the PUT90's shows, I said yes !

These parties are well taken car of, every dj / artist has it's own dressingroom.

The show itself was pretty commercial. No hardcore beats, but mostly happy hardcore ( radio edits ) with a small touch bassdrum .. Not what we are used to, but nevertheless much fun !

Bass D did a good job, mixed very good, and gave the people lot's of hits to dance to. Other acts were Mental Theo and 4 Tune Fairytales .. I didn't see both, because we were set later than the both of them.

Here are some partypictures taken at the event :
