On friday the 12th of may the Warehouse will celabrate it's 10th
birtday. We invited some of our favorite dj's from the past & present for our
"decade of house"
bash. For this special occasion we kick of @ 21:00 instead of the regular 22:00.
For starters we invited female
dj Celeste.

Around 22:00 dj
Eric de Man will kick in with his party flavoured
underground tunes. Eric de Man more than just a DJ. In our opinion he's a DJ's DJ.Who can
argue with that? Not the thousands of punters who over the years were in the lucky
position (aka smack in the middle of the dance-floor) to see, hear and feel this giant of
a DJ/Producer. And not the house-connaisseurs who know that any Eric de Man-night is an
unforgettable night. Most electronic dance-DJ's want to feel the sensation of dropping a
track that they can cal their own.
So they become producers as well. Not Eric de Man. When he was 14 years old
he got himself a drum kit and started to kick some serious ass. Influenced by funk and
hip-hop he became a drummer. Melodie was king in Eric's musical book, but rhythm was
emperor. After digesting electronical music (Kraftwerk, LFO) his musical preference as a
musician changed to electronic dance music. Attracted to the Chicago house-sound he
started to produce tracks, first as a member of Gyrate, later on his own, as
Astrophunk.And then he started to DJ. First at underground warehouse parties in Arnhem,
his hometown, but his career as a real DJ began around '93 when almost instantly he became
the premier DJ for the Club Risk parties in Amsterdam. From that moment on he worked
himself to the top of the Dutch and international underground. Not with his elbows, but
with his hands and his brains, of which a great percentage is reserved for a huge musical
catalogue, ranging from funk to punk and from house to jazz.Calling Eric de Man a techno
DJ therefore is like calling New York a city of native Americans. His style is a melting
pot of all things danceable. There is only one rule: the dance floor has to be locked on
to his pumpin' sound and people have to forget any notion of time and place. It is
therefore that Eric is, to quote Westbam, a DJ's DJ.
At 23:00 it's time to welcome
Benny Rodriguez. Benny Rodrigues
has infiltrated himself in the list of famous Dutch top DJs in a very short time. This
Rotterdammer with Portuguese blood understands the art of using the funk, of getting the
dancing floor full and the room to its feet. Although confessed because of its Funky
(tech-)house, he also knows that he has to do some work now and then and he knows how he
must use that hatchet, what results in a particularly strong and delightful portion of
techno which remains above everything well digestible.
A true legend will appear @ midnight to climax our "decade of
house""
Dj Dimitri
starts his musical explorations at the tender age of 16, mixing funk and hip hop on a
Dutch radio station. In 1988, right when the second Summer of Love breaks out, he makes
his first appearances at Holland's world wide renowned temple of house, RoXY, where he
starts his own Friday club night in 1990, seeing cues at the door stretching as far as 100
metres. He steadily makes a name for himself on an international level, his specific
DJ-ing style being best described as bringing spirituality trough technology. Dimitri's
slamming beats and the strong melodies he plays always make the difference.
Around 01:00 one of the true founders of the "Warehouse
Radioshow" will return from for a guest dj performance. Genetic B will
please you with a trip full of highlight from the mid-nineties.
To close up this birthday bash your resident dj's will gather for a Dj around the table
gig.
