5th Street Rave against the War on Drugs

On the second of June, 4 PM, we will traditionally gather on the (recently renovated) Dam Square to demonstrate against the war on drugs. Last year the Street Parade attracted three-thousand ravers and only little media attention.

Word goes that the Phony Orphan(t?)s DJ team will play at one of the twenty sound systems present. The manifest officially starts at 2 PM at the Oosterdokkade near Central Station. Confirmations soon, check the Legalize website at www.legalize.org, also for international activities.

Orion plays in 'Melkweg'
Once in a while the people from the organization 'Empathy' manage to get a international live-act to the Netherlands and this time Orion will be playing in the Melkweg in Amsterdam on the 6th of April. Orion (J.Borelli) released his new album 'Metamorpheus' a couple of months ago.

ELF'ves found new home 
After closure and demolition of their last resort at the Vlaardingenlaan the fluffies from the squatgroup ELF found a new residence at the basisweg No. 45.
It looks like that they have to share this building with other squatters and this has it's effect on the music played at the parties. There will be psy-only parties though.

News: Back to live in the Netherlands
The Hague - The e-mail petition by Amsterdam based venue Winston Kingdom and the website musicFrom.nl counted over 14½ thousand signatures. Apparantly it was impressive enough for State Secretary Bos to immediately promise improvements in the new artistbill, which made it virtually impossible to have an unacclaimed band or live PA for that matter (and even classical ensembles). The massive protest has been fruitful.

Sci-fi update, Genome says: almost twice a worm, congrats!!!
London - A simple calculation spanning a lifetime of approximately ten years, by the international public consortium of the mighty Genome Project, concludes that the human gene-structure is less complex than they thought, about 30.000 genes, almost a third from what they thought it would be. (A worm has 18.000, a mouse a few hundred less than a human)

What does this all mean to us? Most importantly, human behaviour is not genetically sealed (oh really), but by environment a.s.o. Furthermore, it means nothing yet, they can`t do anything with it but study further. It is just phase one to find how many there are. How they`re connected is really far more interesting, and immensely more complex. It`s like a 5D (place (3D), time and evolution (directional time?)) puzzle where you just discovered that you have 30.000 pieces to play with. Patience is virtually impossible and in fact the result of human idiocy, IMO. Now, where were those nano-computers again?

Attention: 10.000 votes and counting
The Hague - As you probably have heard, in the Netherlands the law has changed regarding live performers, affecting everything from classical to alternative rock and, guess what, live psy PA. Winston Kingdom, a venue in Amsterdam, was the first no longer booking live bands, and has set an example for venues throughout the Netherlands. Simply because it has become too expensive and because there`s been too much bureaucratic paperwork per performance. In cooperation with musicFrom.nl Winston is running an online petition for a new artist bill. Spread the word and vote for a new arrangement.

Report: ELF closure part I
Amsterdam - The ELF is really closing. They are being evicted after this weekend, so they will all gather for one final party, shooting off Friday-night, with a pause on Saturday before midday for cleaning, after which they will continue until everyone just drops, or so they will try. They will have breakfast/lunch with politicians on Monday-morning, so then it`ll have really, really all ended.

Meanwhile the ELF organization is still in talks over the future of the inhabitants and the organization as a whole. They were granted a new home, but the situation couldn`t provide this to over eighty people. Of course there are enough unused squattable buildings, but if it was all that (dead) easy, there would`ve been a more liable solution in the first place. This report will be continued when there`s more info on the future of the ELF.

Nieuws: Genezen in de juiste ambiance
Emmen - Mocht je ooit in het Scheperziekenhuis in Emmen een operatie ondergaan, dan mag je je eigen muziek opzetten. Volgens De Telegraaf mag je Normaal opzetten mocht je dat leuk vinden, dus ook ambient zeggen wij dan. Als je het leuk vind mogen doktoren meeluisteren. Beetje Total Eclipse hier, beetje Future Sound of London (Lifeforms) daar. Doe mij maar Squaremeat.

News: Cause Mental Floss chillroomlessness
Amsterdam - Cosmic Circus had booked three party-areas, dancefloor, lounge and chillroom, with in the chillroom a live PA ( Sonic Spunges) vs dj Saaf improvisation set. Murphy`s Law struck the organizers and the venue had failed to tell the organizers that the chillroom had become a restaurant for undisclosed period. They only found out once they arrived to start decorating last Friday, date of the party. Altogether, the crowd was very happy. There was the lounge to relax and the dj`s Wouter and Pierre Plastique played an awesome set. All attendees including crew and personnel left with a big smile on their faces, the best and only approach to fix some bugs at a party: keep on going!
