Traditionally, we make a trip down memory lane every year on Christmas eve during the godmother of all classics: back2school at Maassilo. However, this year, in which house celebrates its 30-year jubilee in Rotterdam, we will honor the locations that are the origin of Hardcore during this back 2 basics edition: Parkzicht and the Energiehal.
Who thinks of house and gabber, immediately thinks of Rotterdam. The city where it all began and where iconic locations as the Energiehal and Parkzicht had their glory days. These locations are described by the ravers from back then as legendary. Massive Hardcore events, thousands of gabbers and an unprecedented feeling of solidarity. These gigantic events have put a real claim to fame on Rotterdam within the international house scene. After gabber, there has never been a subculture that big. This indicates which impact these times had.
On Christmas eve we will go back to these good old times and will bring an ode to the legends of back then. A testimonial of B2S to the early days, together with other fans of the 90’s sound. Prepare yourself for the best of Oldschool & Early Rave.
