Ready For Take-Off

Last February the sixth graders of a high school in Tienen celebrated their graduating with a banging party. The line-up featured most of Limburg’s finest deejays (Ed&Kim! Redhead! Goldfox! Der Schmetterling!), Raveslave crew member Liss. and eclectic wonderboy Jules X. The night was one to be remembered: the venue was packed, booze flowed richly, DJs were spinning at their best and happy faces were spotted all over the place. So… end of story, right?

Wrong. The man behind the successful party nourished ambitious plans. This region offered great possibilities for a party concept. He teamed up with his big brother and together, they set up to organize a follow-up to the first Ready For Take-Off. It wasn’t an easy job though. The path they came down was covered with obstacles. Finding a decent location, for example, turned out to be a bit of a stumbling block. And their initial headliner decided to cancel barely a month before the party takes place and finding an equally good substitute wasn’t child’s play.


Still, the boys weren’t thrown back by these unfortunate events and the final result of their labour will certainly pass inspection. Headliner Housemeister second longplayer Who Is That Noize, released earlier this year, was hailed as a great fusion exercise between electro and techno. His track Inordertodance is an absolute belter and has been wreaking havoc on dance floors ever since its release. Suffice to say that this man has earned his rep and will cause dance floor mayhem on the 19th. Antwerp’s Fanklub DJs, also known for their Blast Your Ghetto parties, will be sharing the decks with Housi, as will DJ all-stars Ed&Kim. Our very own Liss. will close up shop with a special deep electro-minimal set whereas the Ghent-based duo Ultravid will open the festivities. See you there?
