Tomorrow (Friday, July 30, 17:00-0:00 hrs.) I’m spinning records at the PIKNIK bar in Havenkwartier Deventer. I’m diving deep into my record collection right now to come up with the ultimate seven hour chill set for this ultimate chill location. Best bar in town. By far. Looking forward to meeting you there.

Ethisch Reveil is a relatively new initiative in Havenkwartier Deventer. They host a monthly night of underground bands and artists. On Tuesday April 27, we get Tiny Concept (FR) and Rape Ape (US). Cette Truc (c’est moi) will be in charge of filling in the gaps with audio chunks. Should be fun! More info here.

For all of you who couldn’t be there, you can download my dj-set here. Or maybe you were there, but want to hear it over and over again. Don’t worry, that’s only natural…

Update: Tropical photo’s here (scroll down).

Some time ago I had decided not to go to this smashing New Year’s party in Havenkwartier. Instead I was really looking forward to be with my wife and two kids this year. But then it hit me. Since I live literally around the corner, I can do both. After celebrating the new year at home, there’s still plenty of party left to go to.

So I’m going to take a peek anyway. I’ll just be there a bit later.

Yesterday, when the partyhosts of Ticket to the Tropics got wind of this, they put in a last-minute request for one of my tropical dj-sets. I couldn’t resist this tempting offer and am whipping one up right now. Think Copacabana, Calypso, Speed Merengue, Tropicalectronica, Cumbia and Good Vibrations…

I’m co-initiator and co-organizer of Slowlands festival in Havenkwartier Deventer. Check the complete (and very, very nice!!) programme and all other info at www.slowlandsfestival.nl.

Besides all the acts in ass-crack stage-hack #7, which is being hosted by esc.rec. in the garage next to the black silo, I’m personally also very much looking forward to seeing Loney Dear, Michael Fakesch & Tapprik Sweeze, Radion and Fata in action. I myself (Cette Truc) will also be spinning some records.

Verjaardaveaux are really cool birthdayparties, only accessible for people on the guestlist. Only the first 100 people responding to the invitation get on this guestlist. If you want to receive invitations for this guestlist, you can be added to the mailinglist by sending e-mail to mailing@havenkwartier.org.

This first edition celebrates the birthdays of Bart Folmer and myself. It will be a (somewhat oldschool) acid party. You’re in for only 5 euro and we have a surprise line-up (but I’m sure to be laying some acid on there too!). Phat acid sounds guaranteed!!

The mayhem starts at 22:00 and you have to be in before 23:00.

Update: Verjaardaveaux was great fun! Check photo’s overhere. And some video below.

The last outdoor PIKNIK of this season is coming up in Havenkwartier Deventer. On Sunday the 21st of September (17:00-23:00) Cette Truc, Radion and Ferdi Blankena do their minimal techno thingy. All the previous editions were great, so I’m expecting no less for this last one. This PIKNIK is co-hosted by DDS again. More info overhere. Hope to see you there!

Update: Another great edition! Some pictures overhere. My dj-set was recorded, I’ll post it here later.

I’m doing my Cette Truc thing again, on the 13th of September in ‘t Ukien in Kampen. I’m serving up danceable audio chunks, together with Bram van den Oever this time. And waddaya know, I always wanted to see Adept perform live sometime, and they just so happen to play there on the same night! Be there at 21:30.

Oh, you can still download this Cette Truc dj-mix, if you want to get the general idea. No guarantees though, I might come up with someting completely different…
