Shops and clubs are very important when you want to change things. And they have a common denominator; the customer.

That has always been my biggest ambition. To bring people together. To achieve a family spirit. Because then, you can actually do anything, because people are open to what they feel is real.

If you can make something genuine, then the ground is fertile for introducing something new. And that happened a few times in my life where I could sow the seeds and see something grow out of it.

The Dutch have a can-do mentality, anything is possible. As long as you pay for it. It is very capitalist. Quite American in a way.

I think that is a great, great thing, to create your own identity and foster a true family spirit.

Sometimes I happen to be the right guy in the right spot at the right moment.

The latest trend seems to be these DJs doing pre-recorded sets, in perfect pitch with the lights & acts on stage. Everything is centred around the action from the stage. It doesn't even demand action coming from the crowd! Passive consumerism or something. Mayhem with an overwhelming sound that isn't actually good music. More like diarrhoea.
