In nightlife you can do anything you want, because that is the fantasy life, the opposite of your daily life. Everything - except violence - is tolerated. And that is why it is so surrealistic in a way.

In your daytime life you have to be more strict.

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

Of course I knew disco and dub from years before but I never heard such a radical new sound like house. It blew my mind!

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.

I was born in Belgium and moved to Amsterdam when I was 17. I am not a Calvinist Dutchman but a Catholic Belgian. I think that makes a big difference.
