DJ Natashka (me) and some other local, retro savvy DJs are brewing some ideas for an upcoming gig in Amsterdam on Saturday, November 24. French retro favourites as well as soul, rock n’ roll and lots of sixties will be spinning high.

On 15 September at the Atomic Café, Munich, Germany, the man behind the French Cuts compilations Martin Hemmel will be spinning 60s, R&B, US garage punk, power pop and of course, yéy&#233 . Laissez les bons temps rouler! More from Martin Hemmel at Myspace.
