If you were there last year you surely remember the massive party we threw on New Year’s Eve at the beautiful ICC Ballroom. If you weren’t there you surely heard about it from somebody who was there… Kerri Chandler and Red D feat Lady Linn got together for one of their legendary jam sessions and drove all of you nuts. The same could be said of San Soda, Jensen, Bugsy, Jazz and other Jacks, quality house all the way.

So we figured, why not do it again? After all, a recipe for a good dish should not be changed too much, maybe just seasoned slightly different to keep your taste buds happy. And so this year we have asked Red D feat Lady Linnto deliver their Belgian magic once again, but they will be supported by not one but two main international acts: Karizmaand Luna City Express featuring Fabian Reichelt on vocals. Karizma is one of the world’s most skilful and interesting DJ’s, period. Playing house and much more in such a way you cannot help but being blown away completely. Luna City Express are one of Germany’s most soulful and sensual house outfits. Steering clear from the typical German sound, but still managing to keep all the power and groove associated with such clubs and parties like Watergate and SMS. They will bring along Fabian Reichelt,and thus provide a serious male alternative to Lady Linn’s gorgeous female vocals.

So there you have it: your menu of choice for New Year’s Eve 2010!!

Last edition was superb! We absolutely loved the crowd and can’t thank you enough. Keep on dancing!

 That is all.

First of all we want to wish you all the best and of course a year full of music, parties and love!

It’s a tradition to make new year’s resolutions every year and so have we. Since our last party we have been very busy taking care of our personal lives. Most of us have gone through a series of changes that affected our free time, so that is why you haven’t heard from us recently.

We have received many e-mails and messages from people who are concerned about our concept and we must say that they are really encouraging to go on. But no worries, this period of silence is just a warning for the storm!

One of my new year’s resolutions is that I will update the website more often. People who subscribed to our newsletter will recieve a monthly update about what we’ve been doing, what our future plans are, where you can check out the What’s Cookin’? residents, new releases, upcoming talent etc…

2009 is the year we celebrate our 3th anniversary, and rest assured…this one will not go by unnoticed!

So stay tuned and good luck to all the students!
