'Europapa': A borderless anthem for a United Europe



On this day every year, Europe celebrates the ethos of being united as declared from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert Schuman back on 9th May 1950. And since a new Eurovision week is coming ahead next week (13-17 May), I want to surface an all-time favorite entry, that shares a common message.

The song is none other than 'Europapa' from Netherlands by Joost Klein, from last year’s contest.  It catches your attention with its infectious energy, the multilingual lyrics, and that wild Gabber drop; this is where the Dutch legend DJ Paul Elstak added his unmistakable loud and very Dutch touch.

#GLOWBUZZ Ep. 013:: FFF - More Than Meets The Jungle




A brand new episode of #GLOWBUZZ has just landed in the Youtube world.
In this episode, I take you through my recent journey across the Netherlands, with a deep dive into Rotterdam - the Mecca of Early Hardcore and Gabber, a city pulsing with modern architecture and underground energy. From exploring its reimagined cityscape to connecting with the local NL scene, this trip was unforgettable.
Finally and most important, I had an interview with the Breakcore legend FFF (Tommy de Roos) talking all things Jungle, records, and the vision behind his label, 3AM Eternal.
