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

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
