I stayed in on New Years Eve this year, which was a first time in 12 years or so. I slept in and went to 24 Hour Partypeople with Norman Weber from Luna City Express and my homey Jeff.

Boxing day (Decmber 26) is all about parties, there are parties everywhere. There was Rejected in Trouw, Voltt in Paradiso and the one where I was: Rockit Christmas Allstars at the Westerunie.

It was a year already since I had to work at Dirty Dutch. This time I went for fun and to say hi to a couple of people.

About a week ago I also was in the Gelredome. Then it was for a Prince concert, this time it was work; Qlimax 2010. Definetely not my kind of music, but work can't always be perfect. And since none of 'my engineers' could go, I had to go myself.

It was time for Awakenings again and so I went with some friends. We came in at exactly the right time, namely with Joris Voorn behind the decks.

Some artists announce their concerts months in advance, but not if you're Prince Roger Nelson. Then you announce it 2 weeks before you're coming.

I had planned to visit "In Bed with Ray & Anita (2 Unlimited), but got up late. I did go there to attend the Q&A with Jeff Mills and the Demolition panel, where I tested a new service by a friend of mine: Shoudio, which is location based audio recording.

My second day started with attending a panel which featured DJ Monitors owner Yuri Dokter and Chris Groenewegen from Cloud 9. The topic was "Adding value to the dance community".

Amsterdam Dance Event is always a hectic period. In the past I went to as many clubs to take some pictures everywhere for the websites I used to do. This time I focussed mostly on the daily program.

Red Bull Music Academy has a Pop-up radio station which pops up on certain locations. This week they have popped up in Amsterdam because of Amsterdam Dance Event.
