Here's a mix cd put out by Eric Denz Da Denz who was a dj from Rotterdam. Eric van Doorn was a dj playing all over the city and all over Holland and I've seen him spin more times then I can remember, from when I started going out around 1980 till the late 90's... I was a dj in a restaurant/club, the Twijfelaer/B14 for two years and Eric would often come there to eat. Always funny because he would often run to the dj boot asking me what I was playing, specially hip hop, back then hip hop music was a type of music not much played in clubs, you had to go to concerts and a few special places to hear it... Around the end of '96 Eric asked me if I wanted to come work for him, spin for say two hours before he would do his set, in Nightown which, at the time, was one of the biggest and most succesful discotheques in Holland. Unfortunately I had to say no because I had a 4 month backpack trip planned, starting in Jakarta and ending in Bombay. Plan was to make my way, overland, from Jakarta to Bombay but I came to Bandung and I never left.... Sadly, Eric passed away in 2019 at the age of 61.... Rest In Peace Eric....
