Just because you have a German DJ you have a German atmosphere?!

No, we don’t have a German atmosphere just because we have a German DJ. We will explain what we mean by ‘German atmosphere’ and how we want to accomplish it. For us, the German atmosphere is a feeling, a way of partying and a lifestyle which involves every single aspect of the house scène. This cannot be accomplished by one or more DJ’s, choice of music, closing times, people or any single aspect at all. It is the sum of all aspects coming forth from a feeling. In this feeling the DJ can play a large role.
An important German aspect we want to achieve with WNY is to take away the framework around house parties or club nights in Holland. Frameworks in such a way you always know where you’re going, what time it starts and ends, that a dj-set takes two hours and that it’s only at night. You buy your ticket for Awakenings, you’re there at 01:00, at 03:00 you’re E is kicking in, from 02:00 to 07:00 you’re partying and than the party’s over. And that’s it. And that’s how it will be next time. WNY want to give the opportunity to throw away this framework because partying means complete freedom to us. We don’t just queue in and give another party on New Year’s Eve. We give a party the day after, during the day, where you can come at 14:00, 17:00 or 20:00. You can chill out on the benches and pillows, hang at the bar or dance all day. You can even go away to eat something and come back later as we are open all day. And if the party’s still pumping at 24:00 we’ll party on.
This total freedom and ignoring the usual house-framework are the most important ingredients for what we call a German atmosphere. Tension is being replaced by a timeless feeling. You’re not checking your watch to see when the last DJ will start, you’re totally in this feeling and feel like it will last forever. It’s a lifestyle which demands the quality of being able to let everything go and free your mind.
And it’s this feeling that brings us to a specific style of music. Music which doesn’t go from highlight to highlight but one which is a state itself. Modest but energising and danceable: the German aftersound. Djoker Daan is the king of this sound. Something he has proven for years in the early hours of the Berlin-scene. Djoker is a DJ who plays until Monday 15:00 at Tresor during the Loveparade-weekend. And to come back to the question if a German DJ will automatically give a German atmosphere: no. But we have been living for years now towards the feeling and the lifestyle earlier described. Put us at the bus stop with a ghetto blaster and we will go completely out of our minds. This means the basis is already there. The fact that we have booked the DJ who has the sound and the attitude which fits with this feeling and lifestyle better than anyone in the world, for us, is a guaranty for a German atmosphere. And if he’s German or not, then, is completely irrelevant.

Holy sh!t dude, this story is going deep. Wish you all the best with your party!
