Gifgrond (again) – saturday 18th November

This January we kicked off the year with a party at Gifgrond… and now we return to this awesome spot in Tilburg (NL) to sort of close the year…

The line-up features Staatseinde and Garçon Taupe… both Dutch projects that recently released records on Enfant Terrible… so I consider this a delayed release party for these acts…

Staatseinde will bring their elektro pop live in stage and Garçon Taupe will perform live his acid trax…

Next to that TWINS from the USA will kick off his first European tour that night… his latest album from last year (Rather Not, Enfant Terrible 2016) got great feedback due to the original blending of styles like elektro, EBM, new wave, post-punk and more… A new 7″ is planned for the first part of 2018… also on Enfant Terrible…

Throughout the night I will spin records… and hopefully there will be some dancers / clubbers to close to night with…

 

Re-opening of Kapitaal / closing dj set

This saturday the 11th of November Kapitaal is re-opening in Utrecht. After closing the former location and being temporary at another one they have found an amazing new space quite close to the city center and the central station…

I guess the printing workspace will be crowded soon again with people using the different printing techniques Kapitaal offers…

Also expected to be crowded will be the re-opening party… in the afternoon there is a program as part of the Le Mini Who? A free offshoot of the Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht. In the evening there is the official re-opening party of Kapitaal… and the theme is girl music…

I will be doing the closing set of the night from about 01:00 hour onwards… I will keep the theme in mind and give the set a “female touch” but for sure I will put also some masculine tunes in it… and… I invited Roberto Auser to play back-to-back with me…

ADEV

Yesterday me and Alacidus played back 2 back during the ADEV rally… it was an absolute great opportunity  for us the play music we cannot play at many places… the streetrave was all about attention for the subcultural roots of dance music culture and the more edgy and adventurous aspects of contemporary dance music for which there is almost no space at ADE… neither at many venues and festivals in general these days…

Next to that ADEV was this year about retaining and saving ADM, a cultural free haven in Amsterdam which is threatened by real estate agencies…

We selected some of our favourite classics and contemporary tracks in the field of techno music… meaning we played only hard and brutal tracks…  and had a lot of fun doing so…

Fight for your right to party!

Gooiland/ET mix

A few weeks ago we recorded a Radio Resistencia episode at Red Light Radio in Amsterdam. Of course the show was narrowcasted on Intergalactic FM… as always!

The set I did over there is now online at my mixcloud. It features only Gooiland Elektro and Enfant Terrible vinyls… a lot of recent stuff but also a few oldies and (modern) classics… you can also listen to the dj set below…

Red Light Radio

Tomorrow (Saturday 30th of September) the Radio Resistencia crew will be at Red Light Radio in Amsterdam for a 3 hour show… we start at 12:00 hours and end at 15:00 hours… you can tune in here… and of course this will also be recorded for Intergalactic FM…

Sololust will perform live and I and Alacidus and Andy Dufter will play some records… sounds like a great warming up for a Saturday afternoon to me…

Party time!

For the upcoming months some events have been confirmed… ranging from a private session with the Radio Resistencia dj team only to a label night hosted by the always amazing Gifgrond party… and in between we also hit the road to infest the Intergalactic FM HQ: Panama Racing Club and the red light district in Amsterdam for a session at Red Light Radio…  the dates are posted here…
