One last time I had the chance to bring my sound to the holy Bucht-halls. It was a magic night, a lovely trip & memorable night. I will miss Brücke so badly. I have so many good memories connected to this place. What a shame! What a tragedy! What a nightmare! Though i hope you enjoy my set and this 3 hour set through our last Wuza night at Bucht. See you on the dancefloor.
