DJ SET BY: GINGIN
Put your mind at ease, the champagne in the cooler and wrinkle your jewelry because the enfants terribles of the Dutch DJ scene are coming to empty their record cases! Horny slurs, pumping percussion, rocking piano’s and some good old guitar surfing: Count Basie, Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown, Guitar Junior, Cannonball Adderley, to name but a few… These guys know what rockin’ and finger-snapping means!

LIVE: THE MASHED POTATOES
Lucky bastards visiting this premiere night will be served with a once-in-a-lifetime-performance by The Mashed Potatoes. A 100% veggie coverband, paying musical respect to all our edible friends. Consisting of several professional musicians associated with bands like Nuff Said, Sophie Zeyl, El Pino & The Volunteers and The Kevin Costners, these guys aren’t kidding when it comes to music, nor vitamines!

DJ SET BY: REDNAS_AUDIO
Vinyl-veteran diggin’up dusty 7 inches from the 60’s, jazz records, boogaloo, ska, french pop; tutti frutti-style Baby!

DJ SET BY: ADOBERT
Eclectic, electric and eccentric is the best way to describe Adoberts style in picking records. He is one of those guys playing for fun instead of money, which is a good thing since COLOSSUS doesn’t pay very well. With most of his previous gigs at squatted places and private parties he’s known for creating an well orchestrated, intimate chaos.

PERFORMANCE BY: ARTHUR VAN BEEK
Recently graduated from the Rietveld academy with medium 3.0 this young artist’s got a big heart for the fine art of performance too. Using his ADHD-background as a source of Inspiration we strongly recommend to keep a minimum distance of 3 meters to the artist during the performance…

LIVE ON STAGE: FIRESTONE
Fuck soundcheck. 15 minute powerperformance by a band playing songs about the internet and at the same time makes sure they can’t be found on it! Good luck googling these guys.

DJ SET BY: BEATNOLOGIC
Man who brought B-more to the lowlands, co-founder of lowriders and the ghettoblastersoundsystem and inter active designer. A busy bee in daily life as well as behind the decks. No barres hold when it comes to mixing up genres this guy will give you the energy to end your night with a smile on your face, sweatstaines on your back and a lasting beep in your ears.

HOSTED BY: WILLIAM SUTTON
Sutton’s first comedy show was on June 18th, 1995 – the day he lost the remnants of his dignity -and has flourished ever since. Sutton has over 400 shows to his credit. And even though standup comedy wasn’t well known in the Netherlands when he started, he rose quickly to the rank of M.C. or Compere at the ‘newly opened’ Comedy Café in Amsterdam and was instrumental in the proliferation of this dubious artform…
