Interview with Lauer

The last time Lauer played live in De Verdieping was amazing, honestly the best live set I heard at Trouw last year. And there is good news: he is coming back!  On Friday 31 May, the Live At Robert Johnson – Lifesaver Tour will bring Ata, Lauer and Oliver Hafenbauer to Trouw. We talked to Lauer about the tour, undiscovered music and reggae allergies.

Interview with Young Marco

Since Young Marco's first production on ESP Institute, he’s been doing more gigs abroad then in his homeland The Netherlands. This weekend he’s paying a visit to our British neighbours first, but afterwards he’s heading straight from Schiphol to Trouw. Since Marco isn’t playing the clubs as much as I would like, I saw it as a good opportunity to ask him some questions.

Since we’ve been open a couple of years now, we often see new lovely faces visiting Trouw besides our regular visitors. Reason enough for us to make new Trouwe Honden dog tags to thank our beloved and loyal visitors. We will hand out these dog tags in the time coming during the club nights to those who we really think embody the spirit of Trouw!

In the first years of Trouw, Viral Radio was my favorite night. The coolest crowd went there, people dancing in a beautiful way – especially in the back – and the most exciting records were played. Joker’s Digidesign, Zomby’s Strange Fruit, back then they we looked upon as future classics, but now they seem forgotten.

Pitchfork called him ‘the space-disco whiz’, Beatport referred to him as ‘The Cosmic Kid’. Space seems to be a recurring theme in the life of Todd Terje, so I decided to ask him some questions of intergalactic importance.

24-04-2013 | 13.41

You’ve probably noticed that Dimitri, one of our residents, is having a very tough time. Due to a bacteria, doctors had to amputate Dimitri’s lower leg and he’s heading for a tough rehabilitation process. It’s also been hard financially for Dimitri because he doesn’t have any income. That’s why we’re organizing a fundraiser called ‘Trouw op Zondag for Dimitri’ where all DJ’s, staff and others involved will contribute for free and all revenues will go to Dimitri!

Maurizio in pink and Aksel in blue, totally in sync with the Pachanga Boys logo. Both boys were wearing sunglasses throughout the entire interview, so I also put on mine. At times, speaking with the Pachanga Boys was like listening to Donald Duck’s nephews, but with a bit more depth. Just a bit.

After I had seen Sven Väth a fare few times, I still didn’t know what to think of him. Sometimes he didn’t really add up to my expectations, but on several nights he just blew my mind. The past year he constantly filled my expectations though. Sven is, once again, exploring a new sound and even his blond coupe has popped out of its cocoon.

Interview with Soul Clap

Our respected April residents stated that Trouw is like a home for them. Maybe that’s why my whole talk with Charlie and Eli had this aura of domesticity and hominess around it. And amongst your family it’s ok to be in pajamas, right?
