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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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