United States of Hardcore
Got there pretty early, had to go through to first lot of security in order to get in the queue, they were being very strict on the Dress code, I.E cutting Dutch Flags off peoples Bombers & taking Red White & Blue hairbands out of girls hair, really over the top if you ask me. Maschocist was playing first, good set,loads of anthems, I know people are saying that the Italian/Maschocist high pitch scratchy sounds are getting boring but the tunes which caused maximum dance floor action all night were all of this type..Personally fuckin I love it - ain't got boring yet ! Ruffneck was playing a Drum & Bass set in the 'Darkcore' room, really crap not many people in there, untill the hardcore started playing, no darkcore in there all night just the same tunes as the main room with a couple of gangsta & ruffneck tunes ocasionally. In fact the Tune which got the biggist response was Jeeihaaa by Dis Reaction loads of Huge ! (6'8+) skins slam dancing too it. Didn't really go into the OldSchool room that much, bit too small for a start, & I spent most of my time in the main room.Then Panic came on ..loads of tunes !! Anyway the main room was fuckin rammed reckon the whle club was filled to capacity (about 3500 people) Best DJ's for me were Bass-D & King Mathew, Lady Dana & Maschocist.. too many anthems to count, Scott Brown was played loads,Neophyte Anti-Mix,MoH Special #4 fuckin loads ! excellnt new tune I think by RTC called OK Party People..security (mainly ex coppers or off duty coppers apparently)had a small row with the same huge gabbers/skins, they(securtiy) were looking quite worried at one point according to my mate(I was off getting a drink). Ended up with a couple of rotterdam gabbers as usual (fuck knows why this happens every time I go out), not so confident as usual cos we were in Ajax home territory..thats about it really, went back to the (5 Star!!!) hotel chilled for a bit, in the Hotel guide to Amsterdam it had a bit about gabber..heh thats how big it is ! Can't imagine the Waldorf Meriden in London mentioning the Happy Hardcore scene !!! Shoutz & Respect:TOO MANY MENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need sleep ao maybe I'll add em' after I get up!
