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.

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

Most of this innovative new music doesn't make money so it's regarded as uninteresting for the business people and considered as "underground".

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

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

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

In nightlife you can become a star, while in the daytime you can just be a nobody.
