Non Stop Partying November & Dec...

What can be said about last month hey? Some quality events played at, finishing last Friday night on ‘home turf ‘and the final Privé of 2012 alongside ‘No Artificial Colours’ where this Leamington Spa night (which we hold dear to our hearts) continues to go from strength to strength and we cannot wait to see what Taylor, Ashworth & Mackey have in store for 2013, keep up the good work guys!

November also saw us playing twice for our good Pals over @ 02:31 first up being the 1^st Birthday Party which was MASSIVE (surely establishing itself as the only after party event in Birmingham) if that wasn’t enough we then got to play again @ last week’s event where they had another badboy booking in the form of Justin Martin and which again, went off proper!  

**********

Well, Winter & December are showing no signs of letting up with us playing a brand new night in Birmingham called Friction @ Sound Control on the Friday 14^th so why not get down and show your support on two fronts...

Prior to the above, 8^th December sees another return to 02:31 where ‘Bridge The Gap Records’ are hosting Room 2 with us playing alongside the one and only ‘SmakPony’ and as ever when we play with these guys it’s always a spectacle to behold as Snowbombing 2012 can vouch...

On the Snowbombing front (and as mentioned in last month’s blog) we have been confirmed to play FACE's 2nd year out-there and with the line-up this time around its surely gonna be an even more epic event!

THE MIGHTY DUTCH OF ANALHEIM

Right then peoples!..... First of all we want to wish you all a very happy new year! its been a little while since we did our last comprehensive Blog, our Xmas schedule was extremely busy with gigs coming out of every orifice and more party's than you could shake a shitty stick at :-) so we apologise for the absence.

 After an amazing 2011 where we went from strength to strength played some amazing party's and met some amazing people  ( you know who you are), I just want to tell you all a little bit about our plans for the first quarter of this year.

This Saturday 7/1/2012 takes us to the spiritual home of deep/tech in Birmingham  FACE @ the Rainbow complex where there is a room swap going on and its our first appearance in the cellar, now for those of you that are not familiar with the venue the cellar is underneath the rainbow equipped with a booming Funktion 1 sound system and has an air of berlin about it! man this place is one of the citys hidden gems!... we know that its the week after NYE but its one of the best times to party and see who can really man up and whos got the minerals.

 

This event will feature TRUESELF from ATJAZZ records alongside ourselves and FACE residents BUNNY, SCOTT BLEEPZ and ELLIOT CROFT. now here is the good bit ... the kind powers that be at FACE have made this a half price entry being just £5 all night so really there can be no excuses! what better way than to beat the january blues other than to party right through it?.................................... SEE YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR!

Ok so the following week sat 14.1.2012 we are heading back to Careys in Coventry playing for BISCUIT DISCO alongside LEE BRINX from lower east records London and DUTCH SETTLERS long time ally and friend DAVE THATCHER.

Also featuring on this night is resident JAMES WHEELER who smashes it every time so all in all a pretty sick line-up!

We love their sound and love working with these guys, look out for them in the future as im sure they will be gracing the decks in the midlands very soon! 

Being held at Plan B's basement in Brixton this intimate  party is going to boast a huge Funktion 1 soundsystem and up for it clued up crowd. Also DJ'ING  Alongside the hugely successful JORDAN PEAK on this night is another friend of ours KEIRAN JAMES from ESOTERIC and MARSHAM from SPANGLAND thsese guys also know how to work the dancefloor so your in for a real treat folks! and then of course the fantastic JONNAY & BRADLIANO and ourselves!    the event is on  resident advisor and part of air London get your tickets from this link

Save the Settler (namely Bob) @ Rockafellas - 30th Aug 2011

Well ya boy started off proceedings by getting lads from his work together and having a cheeky Thursday at our fave weekly night in the Midlands the one and only Sno where we were put on to play via matey Andy Bell (SmakPony)as a last minute thing. Transpired to be a decent set, decent crowd and as always decent neet had by all, which then set us up for what happened next……….. 

Bit of background here:- After smashing up a Save The Pony gig at what can only be described as back of a social club back in May, our man Twon Mendiloco was obviously impressed with what he heard/saw and from there decided (good or bad, only time will tell) to invite us for a second sitting which resulted in us supporting the one and only Russ Yallop (who I have to give kudos to after the session on Sat, ‘safe pal’) at a Save The Pony Gig on Friday @ Rockafellas, Leicester

DS rocks up there fashionably late (in standard attire, Orange Stars everywhere) about 10 mins before the Gig, but plenty of practice had made perfecto (as if) we still managed to play our RAW HOUSE sound and please a crowd (if only we could please our Boobies hey?) before Russ took over and stormed it culminating in, and im not gonna lie to ya, an EPIC NIGHT all round with the after session being just as good!

ps Don’t forget we are playing this Sat at FACE & Cream Ibiza Classics - STREET CARNIVAL BIRMINGHAM on 1-2.30 in the Garden

Blatantly support us and as always we much appreciate, DUTCH LOVE xxx

IBIZA VOYAGE JUNE 2011

This was our 2nd trip to the magic isle this year and my did it not disappoint. We set off on Friday night and arrived early Saturday morning to amazing weather and the calling sounds of the clubs. Saturday was all about Zoo project and the release of the animal. It was a packed out zoo with many crazy sights to behold. Massive respect to Johnny D who taught everyone a lesson that night in the seal pit. We sat and watched in awe. The bass lines we're crazy!

.......Sunday we popped into Sankeys after playing Manchester the previous week we thought we'd go and show our support. None other than Mr Todd Terry was playing and we was all pleasantly surprised to hear this legend in the mix. Big up Sankeys for a great sound system too........

 Monday as always was about DC10. Our favourite club on the island and to be fair in the world. With the Void Airmotion soundsystem, new soundproofed roof and new flooring it is a clubbers club which takes no prisoners. We was the first in there and the last to leave. Dubfire smashed the back doors off the place and if anyone was there to witness this they are probably still recovering now. What a night with all our friends we love you and we love DC10. Peace out and BE WELL x

DUTCH SETTLERS SMASH SANKEYS!

What a weekend! We had a call out of the blue asking if we could play Sankeys in manchester so we made the journey up on Saturday evening to play what can only be described as one of the best clubs in the UK. We teamed up with Smak Pony and a bus full of amazing party people to make the journey up there. We arrived at approximately 11pm after the crazy trip up on the disco bus. We played from 12 - 1 dropping some of our classics which went down a storm. The crowd was bubbling and the system was BIG. Smak Pony came on after us and basically ripped it up as they always do. An amazing evening had by all! Just want to say special thanks to Andy Bell and Ste Savage for arranging the trip, Ricky Hatton for making the trip to see us and everyone else who was involved. Will go down in history ;) x

Enjoy and BE WELL x.......................... Dutch Settlers* Pat Ondebaak's 'Hond Huis' Mix June 2011

DUTCH SETTLERS @ DC-10 CIRCO LOCO OPENING PARTY MAY 2011

What th!!!!!....We're back from what was an epic 15 hour marathon at the mecca that is Circo Loco @ DC-10. The day started with a huge thunder storm and heavy rain but that wasn't enough to put a dampener on the party.

For the dedicated followers that braved the weather, Clive Henry served up the first set of the day (and the season) in the garden....which set the scene for the rest of the day.....The garden steadily filled up with a perfect mix of Spanish, Italian and English seasoned clubbers gasping for their first taste of the NEXT LEVEL at Circo Loco. The next level is exactly what we got when Kerri Chandler took to the decks outside to ....by this time the garden was heaving and amass with a crowd only DC-10 could attract.

The SmaK Pony boys and Face resident Elliott Croft joined us in the garden just in time for Dyed Soundorom & Dan Ghenacia who got the first crowd sit down of the day and season which you can see here --->

From that point on everything went a bit double dutch.......Davide Squillace & Matthias Tanzmaan back to back in the garden and on the terrace provided the perfect combo of deep, melodic, tech house which is the defining sound of the summer already.....on that note...be prepared for 2 new fresh Ibizia inspired mixes coming very soon. Love you. BE WELL x

DUTCH SETTLERS IN GUINESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT FOR MACMILLAN CANCER FOUNDATION

We made the trip over to the Rescue Rooms/ Stealth Club over in Nottingham on thursday 12th May for a event  called All Hands On Decks. The idea was for a Guiness world record attempt of over 100 DJ's from all genres to have one mix each. It started off at 7pm with Deep house (When we all had our mix) at 120 bpm and went through all genres up to about 170bpm. The current record stood at 83 DJ's and it took over 6 hours to reach that mark. The evening just got better and better and there was a great vibe buzzing around the place. It was great to meet Dj's from all types of music who love what they do and all in the aid of Macmillan cancer foundation. Just want to give a massive shout out to all who organised this great event especially Ross westland, Dave thatcher, Eastern Fidget posse and sparkly shorts girl. Check out a small clip of the night via this link.....

DUTCH SETTLERS PLAY BANK HOLIDAY SPECIAL @ FACE VS VIVA

 Well then there's so much to say about this party. It started at 3pm sunday day and went on until 6am on the monday morning. The venue comprised of 2 main areas, The beach and The Warehouse. We played on the Beach from 7pm - 8pm and to be fair we smashed it up playing some propa nice groovy deep house. The Warehouse opened at 9pm and we all went in there to sample the delights of some great DJ's; Smak Pony, Lauhaus, Darrius Syrrosian, Jorris Vorn and finally the big man himself Steve Lawler. Birmingham hasn't experienced such a party for a long time with an amazing crowd and rolling tunes,....everything was perfect! Just want to say a special thanks to the guys who arranged the party and all the guys at the Rainbow. Top night and hope to see something like this again very soon. Birmingham deserves nothing less!
