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.

Dance music is one of the biggest export products in the Dutch economy these days.

The way Electronic Dance Music [EDM] is manipulated and exported to the world is a very strong, and "total" concept. But it's not that interesting artistically. EDM is seen by some media as a kickstarter for kids who have no idea how deep dance music can go.

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

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.

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