All of a sudden, like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, house music exploded in Amsterdam. It was September 1988, the end of the summer that the British had already dubbed "The Summer Of Love," and the birth of a new era in the capital.

Shrouded in steam and smoke, lit by furious, flashing strobes, Eddy de Clercq stands behind the turntables at the RoXY. Beaded with sweat, in deep concentration and completely at one with the music, he builds a compelling, hypnotising soundtrack of electronic beats and basslines. Uplifting house tracks alternate with beautiful, vocal garage and abstract, futuristic Detroit techno. Waves of energy shudder through the crowd, who whoop and cheer with each subsequent track. Football whistles blare, a siren begins to wail. Can you feeeel it? The temperature reaches boiling point as the dance floor explodes in yet another ecstatic climax. But then the DJ makes a radical change in tack. The musical rollercoaster hurtles on into the depths of the night, driven forward by an intense, biting acid track that makes the floor shake. Strange and estranging and going so deep that we seem for a moment to step into an intoxicating dreamworld where time no longer exists.

In the late summer of 1988, over the course of only a few weeks, the RoXY, a stylish, former cinema on the Singel in Amsterdam, grew into a veritable house temple: the dazzling centre of the capital's young house scene and a club whose fame in the years that followed would take on almost mythical proportions. Not only because of the music, but also due to the extravagant clientele, who knew how to create an amazing party atmosphere.

Derrick May @ RoXY, Amsterdam   28.09.1990

https://soundcloud.com/hiroko-yamamura-1 graced our stage many times before, the latest being our 9 years anniversary party in April. As a midwest rave staple, Hiroko has toured the globe spreading her contagious energy and the sounds of Chicago. On repeat through the link in bio!

About her favorite track: “The sophistication of London meets the Jacking grooves of Chicago with Kate Simko’s Jam, “Party Wall” from Seth Troxler’s Play It, Say It imprint. Simko flexes her Chicago roots in this stripped down jam, really letting you enjoy the percussive elements with a track that pays homage to the past, while presenting it in a modern dancefloor burner . Often recognized for her lush compositions in films and orchestrations, it is refreshing to see one of my heroes and influences flex why she is a pillar of Chicago and continues to send the message in London.”
