So the Netherlands has good producers after all..
So you might have noticed my opinion about the dance scene in my home country over the last couple of months.. I totally hate it.So I was really surprised when I found out a good tune I heard on the radio was a remix done by a guy from Holland, going by the name of "Rogerseventytwo" .. I asked him some questions about the scene, himself and other stuff..
So what's your opinion about the Dutch dance-scene?
It's mostly mainstream.. Holland is well known for it's Trance music ofcourse, which is logical, 'cause creative producers are hard to find around here..
The underground scene (such as the Ed Banger, Kitsune, Institubes stuff) in Holland is not big at all. Around here, it's just a small group of people who bring the "french" sound.. .. And I realy like to keep it this way.. Underground.
Who are your favourite producers these days?
My favourite producer from last year has to be without a doubt, SebastiAn.. The man is underrated by most people or maybe just overrated by me.. In my opinion he's a producer who manages to get his own unique sounds in every track. Melodic sounds in his remixes, creative beats and a lot of whipping sounds in his own stuff.. When I hear Justice-tracks I must admit that they're the most talented Ed Bangers to do the chart stuff. The way they keep producing new, fresh and contagious sounds is just pure genius. Also Teenage Bad Girl, often seen as the underdog, certainly belongs to my top producers at the moment..
Wassup with '72?
It just stands for the seventies as the whole decade.. The 70's really inspires me a lot.. When I'm down or just outta inspriration, I just put on some old 70's tunes and I'm back in business..
You are throwing a party with Teenage Bad Girl right?
Jupz. The thing is called WE LOVE:...TEENAGE BAD GIRL.. It's a party I'm organizing with my DJ-partner "The Walk" next saturday.. Teenage Bad Girl will give their first performance ever here down in Holland. More info: below.

nice track. been reading your blog for the past couple of months and have to say i look forward to every post. this is my first time commenting on an entry but yeah, i've been studying in maastricht for almost three years now and have to say the "music" scene here is horrible.
any private parties usually involve minimal (not so bad, but still it gets boring) or commercial hip hop. i haven't witnessed anything decent here. i've made to petrol in antwerp a couple of times and am heading up to amsterdam friday to see busy p (can't wait).
unfortunately i haven't bumped into any like-minded folks here to actually rant about this to so i'm unloading on your blog, sorry. for a student town i would have expected something fresh to develop out of their lack of a legitimate party scene.
as i've seen in other parts of the world i think a group initiative could actually turn into something unique, especially with the platform of the internet to share. then again maastricht is ridiculously isolated and dominated by student associations.
never had the chance to say the geht's noch? edit of "girls" is amazing by the way. keep up the good work,

Peter,
I also studied in Maastricht and agrre with you the scene is bad there! Although there are some nice places which nice music scenes could be created there!
Maybe PTNOTR could be organising something?
Roge is nice indeed. First thing I've heard from him was a remix he made for the Space Cowboys, 'I know what girls like'. It totally crashes the dancefloor.
Last year I saw him spinning with the Walk in Now & Wow. Really underground in the basement area, with 20 people partying like hell. Mostly Ed Banger shit and some of his own remixes.
Yeah, Roge rocks!
