am very happy and proud to announce that my album is officially out today! And I would like to use this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you that took the time to really listen to it either through the luisterpaal, soundcloud or promotional services. Your personal and heartwarming feedback has meant a lot to me and made the whole project more then worth it. But really it’s only just starting now off course ;-)

My label Wolfskuil Records is named after a famous neighbourhood in Nijmegen, where the political colour is red and the population hardworking and diverse. The label reaches it’s 6th birthday and that has to be celibrated off course! In Inferno we found one of the most cozy and intimate locations that Nijmegen has to offer: a perfect setting for a celibration. We invited Parisian house legend and Wolfskuil artist DJ Yellow and newcomers Loops from Amersfoort to join us in the fun. DJ Yellow will release his next single called ‘A Perfect Day’ after the summer and Loops will make their debut in june with a perfect festival record called ‘Dinsdagmiddag’. Labelboss Darko Esser even has a complete album lined up for the fall and will open the ball for these special guests. We kept the entrance at a very special price. Recession or no recession, the parties must go on!
