Fun is the main thing. Because fun helps you transmit your message. You can only do that - transmit - when people are receptive.
Eddy de ClercqThe 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.
Eddy de ClercqEven 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].
Eddy de ClercqThat'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.
Eddy de ClercqThe 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.
