He’s the bad boy of the Amsterdam techno underground: Daniel Sanchez, 26 year old son of a Spanish father and a Dutch mother, who scored one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2007 with the infectious ‘Mumbling yeah’. Daniel’s ‘mumbling’ vocals give the track that special edge.
Als de maan hoog aan de hemel staat en de boslucht extra helder is, verzamelen de Foxes & Wolves @ klinch zich rond de transistorradio voor Beasts – sorry – Beats In Space, het wekelijkse radioprogramma van diskjockey Tim Sweeney.
Na een geslaagde avond knetteren met de karakteristieke sound van Aril Brikha stoomt Phunk Division op zaterdag 17 april door met een kakelverse editie in de Rotterdamse Catwalk.
Anna Dragstra, aka DJ Anoesjka, first discovered house & techno music in the late nineties as she was regularly going to diverse clubs in Amsterdam. Her broad taste in electronic dance music is nowadays also reflected in her choice of records and mixing style.
She first started mixing in 2000 and soon she found herself playing at small parties. Her official debut took place in 2002 at Reactor (the Powerzone). After this, she was regularly invited by Dutch techno organisations such as Strictly Techno (Waterfront), Exposure of Sound (Nighttown) and Technasion (Arena), sharing the stage with local heroes such as Invite and Bas M., to name just a few.
She didn’t remain unnoticed abroad either. In 2003 she was invited by Belgian techno organisation Kozzmozz (Vooruit, BE) after winning their dj contest. She had convinced the jury with a 3 decks industrial techno set, which according to one of the jury members was “not like anything they’d ever heard before”. Her international debut was a great succes and Kozzmozz invited her again a few months later to play at the “best off edition” at their new years’ celebration in 2004. Since then, she has played for major clubs and festivals all over Europe and in Asia, such as Dance Valley (Spaarnwoude, NL), Gasten Zonder Grenzen (Amsterdam, NL), Soulrock (Amsterdam, NL), Stekker (Utrecht), Piekup (Amsterdam, NL), The Venue (Edinburgh) and Astra/Culture Club (Bangkok, TH).
Currently Anoesjka is resident and co-host of the alternative Vuig parties. She has joined forces with Vuig-initiator dj Kisakye, performing together as the “Kattekwaad dj’s”; they hold the Thursday-night residency at exquisite bar and restaurant Suite in Amsterdam. Furthermore, she continues to be a regular guest in other local dj cafes like Vaaghuyzen and TWSTD and her sets are broadcasted by European radio stations Electrone, Airpeace and Lazerhothits.
