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

Fun is the main thing. Because fun helps you transmit your message. You can only do that - transmit - when people are receptive.

In the daytime, you act the way you should act because that is what people pay you for, or want from you.

That's the main thing. People have to feel it's real. If they feel there's something commercial or some fake thing behind it, then the feeling is definitely different.

Even nowadays some people see me as a "vreemde eend in de bijt" [translated literally as the strange duck in the pond. In other words, an outsider].

Holland is very good at avant garde, probably due to the Dutch character. Good at design. Experimentation sometimes works here very well.

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.
