House Life (How's Life)

This bonus episode was recording during the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) special event "Night Shift" organized by Kim Tawjoeram. Night Shift was the place back in the days where all the club heads came together and met on the dancefloor. DJs, MCs, music lovers, all together in this ultimate synergy. This is an extract of a panel conversation where we invited key pillars of the Dutch house dance and music scene. Hear from DJ Cassie 6 and DJ Leroy Ray as they talk about the days when they started spinning house music, Cassie's trips to London on the hunt for good records and the crossover between London and Amsterdam. Nader and Eszteca talk about their experience as dancers, what it was like, what moved them, why the loved the scene... A special thank you to the Tolhuistuin for lending us their podcasting studio (links below), to ADE for having us on the program, and to Kim Tawjoeram for making this happen as part of an ode to the house dance culture.Want to share feedback with us?

Your hosts: Emma Brooks, Jake Zuidveen, Patricie BendovaIn this episode we talk about our experiences with battles, Patty as someone who battles a lot and Jake and Emma as observers. Battles are a huge part of the street or "urban" dance scene particularly in Europe, even though that's not necessarily where the roots of the style are found. We talk about our likes, dislikes, the pros and cons, and more. If this is your first time listening you can find out more about us in episode 1.
