We’ve played for the mighty Holger boys many times, always crazy parties, in and around Belgium with an amazing eclectic crowd. I remember once getting a bigger reaction from playing “Precious little diamonds” than any of the tougher stuff we’d played at beginning of the night (Back to front set). One party in particular was our 7 hour italo disco vinyl marathon with Steffi on a boat … unannounced. They still packed it out and it was magic!
We’re over the moon to be finishing our XOYO series with them hosting Room2 with Daniele Baldelli! We caught up with them to see what they’ve been up to recently.
“We’re busy doing what we do, and that is giving people in Brussels the occasion to dance to who we feel are the best deejays out there. We let them play whatever they want for as long as they want. Simple as that, but we put our hearts into it. Folks seem to like it, and so do our guests. Over the past summer months we’ve had two Holger parties with PLO Man, Galcher Lustwerk and Bell Towers, and two weeks ago we’ve set up an intimate Sunday afternoon party in a big loft space with Hashman Deejay
Although we’ve been friends for many years, we’ve never made a mixtape together before. We bounced youtube vids back and forth for a while before we met up and recorded the mix on a rainy summer afternoon at Ewald’s pad in Brussels.
Since we are playing alongside Daniele Baldelli in room 2 at XOYO we thought it’d be nice to give our spin on the man’s Cosmic sound. As usual it turned out quite diverse in terms of genre – some funk, bits of italo and Balearic sounds, but the pace remains slow throughout. Hope you guys dig it!
We’ve got two more parties lined up before the end of the year. In October we’re welcoming two young bulls, one from Düsseldorf and the other from Amsterdam. And for December we’ve got a special in the making with some Turkish heroes. Besides the party, we’re mapping out releases for our Holger Tracks record label. HT002 in the works.”
