When you hear the music of these celebrated Dutch superstar-DJs nowadays... my God, I wouldn't even feed their music to my dog. I don't consider that to be my sort of dance music.

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.

My policy has always been to play new music. New beat, industrial, techno, disco, funk, rare groove and house music.

In your daytime life you have to be more strict.

If you just take the time to look, then yeah, you will find some really great music in Holland. Just scratch the surface and look underneath the corporate surface.

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

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