Seeing mister Marshall Allen dancing at an afterparty (3:00 am) to the crazy weird beats of BLODFET & DJ LONELY at the OCCii after he performed with James Harrar’s Cinema Soloriens will always be remembered.

With EMBRYO we had many adventoures, one summer they passed by Amsterdam, we were under construction, but asked our friends in the West Harbour (ADM) if they were open, and they were. So they played there, after two sets, the ADM’ers joined the stage for a jam that probably never ended.
