Thursday 21 May (Ascension) is a day off here, so we’re going to party! DJ Natashka will be one of the many, many DJs of the day. There’s tons of stuff for the kids to do as well!

Come on down to Noorderlicht Café and be amazed!

On Thursday 14 May at P60 in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam, the La French Music event will be taking place, part of an entire week of French-related events starting today.

Natashka along with Guuzbourg will be DJing on Thursday, an evening that will feature old and new guard Dutch stars who sing in French such as Leine and Liesbeth List as well as older and newer French artists such as Peppermoon and Yves Duteil.

I booked two gigs with French artist and DJ Minimatic here in Amsterdam and they kicked! His third single “Jazz à gogo” (a remix of the song by France Gall) on Tour Eiffel records (shown in pink here) was given a proper launch. By the time Minimatic was in Amsterdam – as he played Paris just before – he almost ran out of records!

It was a pleasure and I will make sure it happens again. For people who keep asking me what kind of music jerk is or was, you’ll have to come and see for yourselves!

A huge thanks to the new faces we saw and the warm welcome of the best club owners in town. A special thanks to Olivier the photographer (his work here) who took some great party pics and printed them out while you waited.
