Today marks International Country Music Day, a celebration of a genre that, if I’m being honest, doesn’t often find its way into my daily playlist. Country music, characterized by its heartfelt storytelling, soulful melodies, and the distinctive twang of guitars and fiddles, has always had a unique way of connecting with listeners on a deep …
In 1991 I started clubbing, and in present time I am still going occasionally. So over all these years I have seen many many DJ’s. In the early days it was just two or three DJ’s during a night. Unfortunately that has changed over the years. These days it’s just a bunch of short sets …
This morning I heard an Amy Winehouse song on the radio. And after the track the DJ mentioned that today would have been Amy’s birthday. But unfortunately she passed away in July 2011. Wow, that long ago already. Last week what would have been Aviccii birthday trigger me to make a post about mental health …
Eerder dit jaar heb ik de Waakzaamheid al eens vermeld. Een keer als de nummer 1 in mijn top 10 met favoriete clubs. De andere keer mijn favoriete tracks die ik in de Waakzaamheid gehoord heb. Maar voordat de Waakzaamheid bekend werd als dance club was het al bekend als jazzclub en poppodium. Naast De …
In 2001 my favorite band The Orb was playing at the first Impulz Outdoor Festival. And off course I went there. After their show the night was still young. Most of my mates were going to the hardhouse area. At first this was a bit too fast for me, especially since I was mostly listening …

Wat als een band zowel engels- als nederlandstalig zingt? Doe je je blog dan in engels, of in het nederlands? Tsja, daar ben je inmiddels al achtergekomen dus. Verder ga ik het vandaag niet te ingewikkeld maken. Ik ben nog aan het bijkomen en nabuzzen van het Mannenkracht Festival dit weekend. Wat een ervaring weer, …
We celebrated 303 day (multiple times), we celebrated 808 day, so off course we will celebrate 909 day. On September 9th, music enthusiasts around the world come together to celebrate a unique and influential piece of musical history: the Roland TR-909 drum machine.

Well well, we seem to have a lot of singer/songwriters that celebrate their birthday today. Or celebrated in one case since Easy-E passed away already. But since this amount of birthdays why not celebrate them all together in a musical potpourri? Let’s do this. Happy B’day Gloria Gaynor, Chrissie Hynde, Do & Fedde Le Grand! …
Funny, this morning and afternoon I spent some time on future Top10 lists. And guess what, today’s list still needs to be made. Let’s get a little more back in time. Until now, most of the annual music lists have been from the 80’s or 90’s. But the 70’s provided lots of great music too. …
