As if it was not enough already DJ Potato and upcoming talent Basicz are added to the DJ GIZMO & FRIENDS line-up. For over 20 years Potato is a household name in the hardcore scene. There are not many DJs in the scene who after all those years behind the turntables have such an enthusiastic and active group of followers. Where Potato plays, the crowd goes wild.
Blokes Events proudly announces DJ Potato & DJ Basicz as the last two friends of DJ Gizmo to show their skills. “I am just very excited to perform in The Hague again”, DJ Potato said.
“I have performed only there only two times before: at the Darkravers’ Birthday Bash and a beach party organized by the Outsiders.” Potato was 14 years old when he started his DJ career. He used to shave his head like a potato, that is how his nickname became his artist name, which was more than 20 years ago.
“The crowd in The Hague is always amazing. I am going to play an exclusive set with a lot of flashbacks from the nineties and other old-school samples”, he concluded.
The line-up is now complete: ALL-STAR FRESH will kick off with a one-hour Oldschool at our main stage, and will later challenge Gizmo for a one-time-only scratch battle live on stage. If this is not enough, ROB & MC JOE will take the main stage, followed by BUZZ FUZZ, and STANTON hosted by MANIA MC.
Potato: “These guys are all legends. They meant so much to me growing up in the nineties. They all have typical own style, that is what makes them so good.”
There is more. One stage is just not enough. Blokes Events proudly announces a second old-school rave area: the B-SIDES. At this second stage, BOBBY N will kick off the sound followed by ALEXANDER DE KONING, SEDUCTIVE, VREESTYLE, ANDY RAW, DEFENDOR, and RUFFIAN.
BASICZ
To convince every last one party animal to join us on Easter Sunday Blokes Events has another stage to blow your mind: TECHNO BUNKER. A third stage where the young and very talented DJ BASICZ (22) will kick off the day with one hour set.
Basicz started mixing records at the age of 11, not only to mix tracks but because of his passion for music and the energy it gives him. “The concept of Gizmo & Friends is amazing: a party organized by friends for other friends. Especially now after all those months of lockdown and limitations”, he said.
