P.S.: This is gonna be so great, just look at this line up: A*S*Y*S / Theodor Nabuurs (aka Mental Theo) / Scot Project / Pila / Renegade System / Fausto / Tommy Pulse. Some legends in there! People who know me, know that I'm one of the biggest Scot Project fans. And also Renegade System of course. Finally seeing him perform live! Tommy Pulse is in the organization I think. Also can't wait to hear his sets. So many great music!
