One day every year ..
.. a little bicycle passage in the heart of Amsterdam, hidden from view by
its edificial surroundings along the first yards of Singel canal, transformed
completely to host a colorful gathering of people, dancing under the Sun.
For more than ten years, this bridge at De Droogbak has served as the location
for one of Amsterdam's most reknowned free outdoorparties on Queensday,
the 30th of April.
Ever since the early days, many global artists and local heroes from the
psytrance scene have been lined up to add a note to the score and the future
will hear many more.
At the start of the millennium, the original crew that initiated this partycular
event, passed the blazing orange torch to Bom Voyage.
Since then, the following live acts and dj's have performed at De Droogbak:
Andromeda, Back to Mars, Bart Cruz & Catana, ccL, Danyel, Dica, Dogo,
Dr.Vinni, Ekanta, Fluoelf, Frans & Mickey, Free King Jochie, Jocid, John
Phantasm, Kuma, Leila, Lunatic, Mad Contrabender, Maga, Mekkanikka,
Mick Chaos, Odo, Poli, Psyderek, Ronald & Cosmic Steven, Sacid, Satyr,
Seizure, Shaktycat, Shawnodese, Taj Mahal, Tameesh, Tintal, Tristan, Troy,
Zen and of course, the Bom Voyage All Stars: Immuun, Simplex & Sander.
In 2004, the party moved from its original location to continue on a square
across the water, a suitable spot to catch as much sunrays as possible and
unleash all absorbed energy.
To make this year's edition rock all the wave around the clock, the party will
continue at night in Ruigoord, where the church will open its doors and
share its floors to dance beyond the break of dawn.
This event is organised in cooperation with Centipede Productions, Art of Noiz
and Ruigoord, and made possible with support from a small group of loyal
sponsors, with the magic hat (a true philantropic miracle), with all the helping
hands of many friends, and all of the party people joining us from all directions
of the wind, who come down to start their season at our annual outdoorparty,
once again: on a square at De Droogbak.
