On 24 May at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam all the way from Munich, DJ Thomas Bohnet of Le Tour will be popping into Amsterdam to spin a wide range of French pop for which he is known throughout Germany and beyond. In the foyer DJ Duo Studio 17 have an all French programme of yéyé, easy listening and cartoon music for the finger snappin’ hipsters and yours truly DJ Natashka and my jerk and jazz favourites will warm up the dance floor and duck out to sip some exclusively imported champagne until they throw us all out.

On 24 May at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam, Thomas Bohnet of Le Tour in Munich is coming to Amsterdam to spin a wide range of French pop that has made him a very well known DJ throughout Germany and beyond. Alongside the man from Munich will be DJ Duo Studio 17 in an all French programme of yé-yé, easy listening and cartoon music in the foyer as well as yours truly DJ Natashka and my jerk and jazz favs to warm up the dance floor.

The Boutique Chic party was a total blow out! After DJ Guuzbourg warmed them up in the dance hall, he handed the torch over to Boutique Chic’s Thomas (aka Georges) Deligny and Minimatic (shown here) who got the whole place hot and sweaty. For once I didn’t mind having to squeeze through people to get to the DJ booth!

Not only did these great guys keep it going, but the Boutique Chic mini-kiosk sold some LPs and CDs you cannot get anywhere in stores in the Netherlands – well not yet. Talk about exclusive! In the quieter yet just as full foyer of the De Nieuwe Anita, DJ Natashka (me again) was asked to tone it down (which was tough) to get people moving towards the dance floor. For the rest of the evening, DJ Guuzbourg kept people very warm and happy as well.

The after party involved lots of champagne, people not wanting to leave and, well, more champagne. Until next time!
