Hi Guys, It’s just a few days before the event will take place? Are you guys a bit nervous?
Nervous is a big word, but there is always some healthy tension before an event of course ;).
Louder will be hosted in two areas. The main area has a diverse line-up, can you tell something about it?
Well for Louder we had the idea to cover everything that hard dance has to offer, this way there will be a perfect built up during the evening with an amazing vibe.
Speaking about the main area, we did spot the Louder Showcase, can you give us a little clue, haha?
Yes, of course! The Louder Showcase is basically a crazy mix where you can find all genres from hard dance in one crazy mix of 30 min, maybe even some hardcore ;)!
We will talk about the second area later on, first let’s get the bigger picture. Can you guys introduce yourself? When is Loud Events founded for instance?
Well we’re Tom, Davey and Stephan all living in Zaanstad (near Amsterdam). In October 2015 there was a moment that we took a leap of faith and registered the company official.
From that moment things went pretty fast, from one event in a year (2015) to three in 2016… And now where coming close to 2017, this will be the year that we expend our concepts and meet the notorious outdoor weather that Hollands has to offer, we hope the festival gods will be nice to us ;)!
Why did you guys start with organizing events?
There is something magical in making people smile, and that’s what organizing events is all about! Next to this we all have a different background, from the creative side to project management and finance, so this triangle makes one hell of a match and that made the step to our own organization possible.
Is Loud Events only about Hardstyle or also other electronic music?
For now, our focus is in the hard dance scene but you can never predict the future of course. Only time will tell!
Speaking about Louder – Undiscovered, can you tell us a bit more about the theme? Why ‘Undiscovered’?
We really like to bring some aspects to our events that have a bit of a mystery theme. You can find that in Louder but also in Primal with the hole mythology themes.
The reason for this year’s theme has to do with the lineup. Louder is a place where people can discover all sub genres in hard dance. Since not all people are not fully properly introduced to all the theme is called “undiscovered”.
Can we expect more Loud Events in the future? Are there already some plans?
You can definatly expect more Loud Events, we’re expending our primal concept with a pure raw festival. We can’t tell too much about it…yet, but it will be one heck of a festival!
If you’re curious about our upcoming events:
17-12-2016 Louder – Undiscovered
18-02-2017 Primal – Cerberus
10-06-2017 Primal – Outdoor
Let’s talk about the second area. The second area will be hosted by TWSTD & Friends. We had the opportunity to catch up with the guys from TWSTD, to ask them some questions about their hosting.
Hi Guys, how are you feeling. Hosting an area at an event ain’t nothing, right?
Yo guys, thanks for having us aswell in this interview.
We’re doing pretty fine actually. This year was beyond limits in several ways so far and this areahosting is actually a big confirmation that we’re running good at the moment!
To name a few highlights: signing at WE R Raw from Brennan Heart, a surprise appearance at Kings of Hardstyle with Outbreak in front of 10.000 people, a prime time spot at the WE R Hardstyle area at Q-BASE Festival and, including the next one, 3 releases this year!
Yeah, an areahosting isn’t just ‘something’ and especially when it’s in a legendary venue such as the ‘North Sea Venue aka. Hemkade’! We can’t describe in words how intense we’re looking forward to this special night.
Can you tell us something about the line-up? Why did you pick these guys,
The line up wasn’t so difficult to make. Through the years we’ve collected many close friends and colleagues around us which helped us and vice versa.
All the acts on the line up are ready for a next step in their carreer and some of them already made that step this year.
We are very curious to see where everyone will be in a year from now on. The amount of talent in this group is crazy!
Are they the Friends? Or can we expect more, hehe?
Haha, well, of course they’re ‘friends’ aswell. But we ain’t TWSTD if we haven’t got any surprises left. A few surprise acts will show up this night aswell to spin some of their own tracks.. just follow our page and find out who they are. Two of them are already announced: Re-vamp and Crucio!
You guys did post a preview of your new track Cry Baby, can you tell us something about the track, when will it be released? Can we enjoy this track at Loud Events?
Cry Baby will be our next release at WE R Raw, which will be released next Monday (19-12). The track is a lot different than our first two tracks and if we may believe the feedback so far.. this must be THE one! And of course.. Cry Baby will make the North Sea Venue shiver as Fuck!
TWSTD - Cry Baby
What can we expect from you guys in the future?
Well.. actually, a lot. We have pretty much tracks in stock for release and 2017 will be filled with TWSTD Hardstyle for sure!
We try to break boundaries for ourself, so not stick to just 1 type of sound. The key is diversity and again.. we’re TWSTD.. do you expect anything else than surprises?
Do you guys have anything left to share? Maybe something exclusive for your fans?
We do have A LOT of interesting collabs planned, which will be part of an exclusive project. More about that later.
And oh yeah.. we have a brutal gig confirmed for 2017, that actually blew our minds when we got the confirmation. Follow our socials and you will find out soon!
See y’all Saturday, you DON’T want to miss this <3
