Local Rockstars: Tom Trago in reverse
From all the Amsterdam based DJs I interviewed, Tom Trago is probably the one that needs the least introduction. He has travelled all over the world, runs his own label, Voyage Direct, and is now awarded to be Trouw’s resident of the month. Next to all this Tom also made time to produce his new album ‘The Light Fantastic’, which will be released on October 21th. I got a tiny little bit of his spare time to ask him some questions.

Cottoncake is a dream come true
Cottoncake was born over a year ago out of a dream. But Jorinde and Tessa didn't want to start just another fancy shop, they wanted to create one with a special feeling that would envelope you like a warm blanket when you entered. The influences that were to inspire Cottoncake's perfect cappuccinos and beautiful fabrics were to come from all over the world and come together to make a dream reality. Now there's food, fashion and art all in one shop. (..more)
Valentine’s Day for all the haters
It hasn't even been that long ago that I considered myself one half of a happy couple. Now, a few months later, I’m deliberately a happy single. It wasn't just my personal status that changed, my opinion about Valentine’s Day took a detour as well. I hate Valentine’s Day… (..more)

Local Rockstars: Raaf’s Amsterdam dream
The American dream is happening right here in Amsterdam. Fortune and fame seems to be in becoming a DJ nowadays, and it is everybody’s new passion. But how to distinguish yourself? What make’s you a proper DJ? And who decides that? But most of all, what is the road like to get there in the first place? For all my questions I met up with Raven Verhoef. Known as DJ Raaf, a 22 year old Amsterdam based DJ who was mentioned in an interview before with Milan Meyberg as ‘one to watch’. What’s there about him besides his sets and baby blue eyes? And how is he planning his ‘Amsterdam dream’? (..more)
