Amsterdam Hideaway September 29 2023

[Hans Diepstraten]

 

Friday evening we had the first Hideaway event in the new season at the American hotel in Amsterdam. Of course the mood and vibe was completely different than usual, because a lot of the people there are friends of Kees Smallegange who died suddenly last week. It is hard to play and enjoy music when your heart is heavy.

Below are the links to all the DJ sets and the playlists. Next one is on Friday November 24.
