Every year in april the Netherlands change into a big orange sea. And no, it's no football. The kingdom is celebrated. Well, I don't think that most people think about the kingdom but, hey, it's a good reason to have a big party. The King's Night parties starting at around 18h on the 26th of April, followed by the flea markets which start during the night and last during the whole King's Day (27th of April). At every corner there's a band or a dj playing. Some places have legendary parties with people coming every year, so often it's a reunion. People are doing weird acts, selling stuff, dressing up a bit lik carnaval. Also, Vondelpark is used as a place to display one's kids and let them scratch on a violin or spit into a clarinet and everyone finds it cute and gives the poor kid some money..Let me correct.. Vondelpark is turning into a children's park and they celebrate King's Day together with their parents.
The canals are totally packed with boats with orange people on it, getting more and more drunk. Hilarious. If the weather is right it can be epic because almost all activities are outdoor. If it's rainy or getting to cold you see some drunk people dancing a bit lost in front of the stage while most people just go for a walk and then go home or to thir favourite pub.

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
