Local Rockstars: Sietse Bakker is almost ready for De Zon
Sietse Bakker. You might not have heard of him (yet), but in a short period of time the man is becoming some sort of cult legend around Amsterdam. He's the kind of guy every girl wants to be with and every man wants to be. Most recently, Sietse has been involved in some weather forecasting and festival related activity. Basically, he tells us when it's time to officially embrace the sun (De Zon) in Amsterdam. We asked him some questions about his remarkable mission. (..more)

Local Rockstars: Mister Freeky unites twisted minds in Amsterdam
Mister Freeky is our new best friend in town. An animal who comes to take over parties and injects everybody with pure adrenaline.

This guy allows you to experience the night that you daydream about. We managed to meet up with the man, and ask him a few questions about his forthcoming Freeky Night this Friday. (..more)

Local Rockstars: Partying it up with Mudde
Mudde is one of Amsterdam’s finest. He’s part of the Boston Strip crew and tells me he loves deep house and dubby techno. Sounds like a formula for success to me. It’s almost weird he hasn’t been in our Local Rockstar series yet, so it was about time someone interviewed him. And I didn’t mind to be the one to do it at all. Get ready for some action! (..more)

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.
