Rumble for iPhone and iPod touch
Some time ago I wrote a piece about Draw Something and Charadium. Even though I liked Charadium better, I ended up playing Draw Something. But I’m done drawing. Mostly because of the lack of a competitive element, but also because I’ve discovered a new multiplayer game. Meet Rumble, an addictive game about finding words. It’s fast paced and players have an equal chance to win. Continue reading for the full review.
M for momentum
After a few months of inactivity it’s about time to revive the moment. A week ago I went to a studio in Utrecht to follow a lesson in electronic music production. I learnt some new tips & tricks and found the inspiration and ideas to give new life to my live act M for momentum. More lessons coming soon and there’s also some gigs coming. About time to fire up Ableton live and start creating. I’ll be playing live in Roosendaal on Fri 27th of April at RDG invites.
Time Warp Mannheim 2011
It’s been almost two weeks since Time Warp 2012 happened in Mannheim, Germany. Having a press accreditation to the event, I had a piece to write afterwards. It took me a bit longer than usual but it’s finally up over at Beats and Beyond. Here’s a snippet of the review.
“Honestly there’s no other event that I can look forward to as much as Time Warp Germany. For me this was Time Warp Germany edition number eight. And still, the same magic is there as there was when I went for the first time…”
Awakenings
After one legendary weekend in Mannheim I go right into the next. Thankfully though, this time I’ll be a little closer to home. In the Gashouder (Gasworks) at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, Awakenings is celebrating its 15th anniversary with two editions of killer techno-lineups (lineups and time tables inside).
About a week ago I posted my article “Five Tips to a Longer and Better Time Warp“. Thanks to Time Warp sharing it through their Facebook and Twitter streams the article was read and shared by a lot of people. Hope it helps you party from dusk till dawn. If you’ve got some energy left after Time Warp you’re more than welcome to join our after party at the bus parking lot. Continue reading for more info. Will you be there?

Time Warp Mannheim 2011
Time Warp in Mannheim, Germany (March 31st) is a massive techno rave that goes on for a whopping eighteen hours. That’s eighteen hours of extensive partying; venturing through the Maimarkthalle, laughing with friends, meeting new people, dancing to the beats of your favorite artists, jumping when your favorite records gets played, drinking, smoking, and what not. And that’s only Time Warp itself, not counting the way to Mannheim and back.It’s a journey not to be taken lightly. Like you would when you’d go walk a marathon, it doesn’t hurt to prepare a bit. Here’s five tips that should help.
Tenue de Nîmes X Momotaro
Yesterday was a beautiful day in Amsterdam. Having the day off from work I went into town by the Tenue de Nîmes store to see their newly arrived and exclusive Tenue de Nîmes x Momotaro – Deadstock Sulphur Denim. Only 17 made, so I had to grab this chance to see them while they were still there. And I did see them, and tried them on. Then I just couldn’t help myself but buy them. I made sure to make some day-0 pictures and also found some time to update the galleries of my other denim projects. Go check them out and let me know what you think!
Jeff Mills (USA)
Edition twelve of the annual 5 Days Off festivities took place two weeks ago in Amsterdam’s Melkweg and Paradiso. I wrote an event review for Beats and Beyond on the Thursday night in the Melkweg with Jeff Mills celebrating 20 years of Axis Records. You may either read it there, or just read it here.
The Bucket List (2007) is a comedy-drama about two very different men who’re both ill and decide to go on a road trip with a list of things they want to do before they ‘kick the bucket’ (before they die). It’s an entertaining movie… good, not great but inspiring nonetheless. Ever since the movie came out many people started creating such a list for themselves. There’s even community websites dedicated to these lists. So have you got a bucket list yet? Not only is it fun to create a bucket list, it can also be quite an eye-opener. Continue reading and start creating yours today.
Only four more weeks away is March 31st, the day that I will ride out for Mannheim, Germany with some of the craziest people I’ve met. We’ll be riding in two of Europe’s most luxurious busses with leather seats, onboard sound systems, laser shows and what not. Our destination? The Maimarkthalle in Mannheim. The event? Time Warp!
