In Dutch

Zo dan, toch maar weer eens wat scribbelen. En in 't Nederlands nog wel. De reden daarvoor is eigenlijk heel simpel. Het Engelstalige gat in Nederlandse blogs wordt momenteel perfect 'gevuld' door TRUANTS . Neem aan dat jullie TRUANTS al kennen, zo niet, check ze uit, ze zitten overal bovenop en schrijven sterk en leuk.

Tot zo ver de dienst-mededelingen.

Joint Effort 2009 Year Mix

Thanks for tuning in peeps, here's the deal:
Wouldn't it be nice to hear a mix capture a good year in music?
And wouldn't it be even nicer if you can agree on at least a significant part of the tracklisting?
And wouldn't it be just perfect to hear different versions of it??

Here's how we can (try to) accomplish just that:
E-mail/tweet/react underneath/call me/text me about your top 10-15 fav tracks of 2009. From (hopefully) loads of top 10s-15s a general top-tracklisting should be derived.
Up next (calling out especially to the braddas out there in Amsterdam, but of course everybody's more than welcome)is getting DJs to turn that into a topmix!

Who's with me??

Girls Love Feadz

Partypacked weekend coming up y'all!! At least for the flu-less people out there...)

None other than Feadz will headline upcoming Girls Love DJs party this weekend @ Paradiso Amsterdam !

Most famous for being part of the Ed Banger-gang, but there's more to him than meets the eye, so Girls Love Djs arranged a little interview with the turntable-wizzard to get to know him just a little bit better. Check it out!

HERE a nice set to get you into that partyvibe

Caught between the coats!

Proud to present another great mixtape!
This one is one of those you'll be able to play whenever, wherever, pure disco all the way to get you in that laidback vibe. Perfect for an after, a lazy Sunday morning, a romantic Friday evening, a warm up before going out etc.

It's from a Dutch talent who names himself Man tussen de Jassen, litterally something like 'Man between the coats' (hope he'll brainstorm on a more international name before his big breakthrough....)

Do a little dance, or lay back, but whatever you do, check it out over here:

Homegrown Heroes

So I hope y'all noticed by now that Amsterdam = Dance from tomorrow till Sunday. Not only huge parties with mindnumbing line-ups, but also conferences and seminars. For the latter I would kindly like te refer you to the Amsterdam Dance Event site
Let's focus on the fun bit: partying your stupified asses off!

If you left Superrauw Decked Out! vs Ed Banger alive and kicking, Friday night brings you another party that could drain the last bit of life out of your sour bodies: Heroes @ Flexbar!
Heroes Agency has a couple of real Amsterdam talents under its wing a.o. Homework, Guerilla Speakerz and Rubix. For this special Amsterdam Dance Event night they also invited a couple of world-league players like homegrown Don Diablo, Edu K, Riva Starr and another homegrown dude, Jamie Fanatic , who's tentacles reach Transatlantic length grabbing Aoki by his ankles via Dim Mak.

Great thing about this night is that it will be bang-on from first minute till end, with none other than Guerilla Speakerz playing from 23 till midnight and Jamie Fanatic closing the night, and Riva Starr, Edu K, Don Diablo, Homework and all the others inbetween. (you still following me..? Timetable will help you out)

Look fashionable but practical cause this night will be a nuthouse with lots of sweat and loads of crowdsurfing.
