June 23rd : Defqon1 festival

June 23rd was the day we had been waiting for since the day we heard the news that we would be playing there .... D-day ... or Defqon1 day ! Such a big festival, with all those big dj names, wow ! It was a big honor.

Ofcourse, when you are playing at a outdoor festival, the first thing you worry about is, the weather. But at 10 AM in the morning the sun was already shining and the sky was blue. The way everybody hoped for. Great start of the day.

My dj had to play at a dance festival in the south of Holland at 12 PM, and from there on we drove to Biddinghuizen, a small village in the province Flevoland, about 80km from Amsterdam. Biddinghuizen is very small village with a population of about 6000 inhabitants, but is well known because of it's themepark Walibi Holland ( formerly Six Flags ) and the area where one of the biggest festivals in The Netherlands takes place ( Lowlands ). But on this weekend, it was Defqon1 time! 65.000 people went crazy that weekend, on all kinds of hard and loud dance music!

Because of bad traffic, we arrived at 4.20 PM at the entrance, and for there we were escorted to the GREY area ( the early stage ). Unfortunenately we arrived at 4.36 ( our settime started at 4.30 PM ) but our friend Mental Theo was so kind to play an extra tune. Then it was party kicking time ! The stage looked like a big Yin-Yang sign ( check picture 1 ). We arranged a cameraman for the day ( my man Sander Kroes ) and he was filming from the arrival till ... to make a special road/aftermovie for us, for our new Youtube Channel.

There were about 1500 partypeople dancing to our tunes, and that is quite a lot, considering at other area's dj's like Kutski, Noisecontrollers, Psycho Punkz and the almighty Neophyte Records Allstarzs were playing too. It was great to see people really loving that early sound. We received a lot of love ! We played pretty hard with lots of bootlegs ( thanks to my man Dj Triax ) and people liked it. And ofcourse, people sang along with Burning Love ! :)

After our set we walked around to see the other area's and feel the vibe. Our cameraman followed us around. It was great to talk to dj's I haven't seen in a long time again. Buzzfuzz, Pavo, Predator, Waxweazle dj team, and the boys from Neophyte Records ( Kelly, Melvin and Jeroen )

At 10 PM it was time to go. We were dead tired. It had been a long day. A great day though. Defqon1 for us came to an end. It was an honor to be playing at this mega festival. Thank you Q-Dance for the opportunity! And Thank you very much for the customized Heineken bottles!

June 16th : Springflowers festival - Eindhoven

2 days ago Springflowers festival went down for the first time and then it's always the question, if it will be a success. All depends on the weather, and if people wanna go ( because there are so many festivals in the summer ). The line up and the ticketfee is very important.

The line up was defenitely okay. There were two stages, a springstage ( house ) with dj's like Bingo Players, Jamie Westland, Nicky Romero and Sister Bliss, and a flowerstage ( happy hardcore ) with dj's like Dune, Mark Oh, Paul Elstak and us. And although the predicted I believe 50% chance that it was going to rain, it stayed dry! The sun even came up! It was a nice festival.

Our settime was early ( 2.30 - 4.00 pm ) , but when we arrived the flowerstage was already pretty crowded. I didn't expected that, but it was super cool! I think there were about 4/500 people. That became more and more during our set. We had some new bootlegs from our friend Dj Triax and they rocked big time !

After our set it was time for Dj Mark Oh to play some tunes. And after that the great Paul Elstak got on stage together with MC Alee and he definitely rocked that stage, together with the host of the festival MC Apster. After Paul came Dune and Flamman & Abraxas.

All in all, great day ! Good looking festival, good dj's, many partypeople ( that sang along ), and good weather! We will be remembering this one !
