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.

Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.

I travel all the time. I'm very restless you know.

I believe that the Belgians do possess some surrealistic gene.

My policy has always been to play new music. New beat, industrial, techno, disco, funk, rare groove and house music.

There are so many international musical connections here, in Amsterdam. And some of them are amazingly successful.

Don't forget that at the end of the 70s people were much more into wild experimentation and hedonistic adventures. There was not really a fear of sexual diseases like HIV or aids back then, all that came later.
