December 1st - Pump Up The 90's, Gorinchem

Our first gig last saturday was a big one ! Almost every time these Pump Up The 90's parties are sold out, and this one was no exception. Although the 'Evenementenhal Gorinchem' is a little smaller than the one in Hardenberg, there will still 1900 people ! Wow !

The artists at this party were 2 Brothers on The 4th Floor, The Darkraver and us.

Our settime was from 11.45PM to 12.30AM. Very short for a dj set, so it had to be powerful !

When we walked to the stage, I noticed that the crowd was standing about 10 meter from the stage. Pretty strange. For me an extra challenge to still get them to come closer! At parties like this you cannot play everything .. the crowd is more commercial so there will no 'Geleihoofd' from Darrien Kelly to name one ...

We started pretty relaxed, playing some cool happy hardcore tracks, but then trying to test the audience. I saw a lot of people dancing their asses off, even girls on high heels making that gabber moves .. so cool !

In the middle of our dj set it was time to play '98 To Your Mind' the ultimate bootleg made by Viper & Evil Activities .... First people sang along to Highlanders ' Hold Me Now, and after that the great 98 To Piano melody comes in ... I think 1000 or more people were standing with their hands up in the air ! What a great moment !!

The set was great, and half way the people were already close to my stage. So everything went quite well ! We were really satisfied and so was the organisation.

Hoping to do some cool stuff for them in 2013 !

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 :

Schedule week 46

In week 46 we have two gigs. Well, actually I have 2 gigs, and Bruce has one. I have been asked for a special hosting with colleague dj 'Bass D' at a very big 90's party, called 'Pump Up The 90's' .. The two gigs this week are : 

• November 17th - Pump Up The 90's, Hardenberg
• November 17th - Happy Wonderland, Beesd

It's a long drive between the gigs, but both are going to be cool .. One very big and commercial, and the other one with all colleagues ( like Paul Elstak, Mental Theo, Dune etc. ). Hopefully we can play a bit harder then ;)

April 14th | Pump Up The 90's - Venray

Saturday was a special gig ... it was the last gig that Ludmilla did. Will she ever come back ...? Time will tell. Ofcourse she is the female voice of Critical Mass, and a familiar face. Last saturday was also the last gig for us as live act. If there will ever be another live act, I don't know ...We will see ... ;)

Our gigtime was 11.30 PM till 12.00 AM, and I arrived at 11.20 PM. The place to be : Evenementenhal Venray ( former club Zenith ). Other acts were The Klubbheads and our friends from the Party Animals.

It was crowded! We started off with our 3 radio hits ( Burning Love, Believe In The Future and Happy Generation ) but the crowd was hard to move. Then we went on with Dancing Together. Slowly there were some hands in the air. It was time for some bass! We went on with 'Lift Me Up', a track that was introduced on the Thunderdome IX compilation ( you can download it here : Critical Mass Soundcloud )

After this track, it's remix time! People were ready to sing along, and they did! The 2 Weirdo & Sim remixes were blasting through the speakers and people sang along. Ludmilla got a good goodbye!
