2000 And One - Crawdaddy
Dutch techno master 2000 And One descends on Crawdaddy this Saturday December 18th as part of PODium’s guest nights. Its been a prolific year for 2000 and One a.k.a. Dylan Hermelijn . Six times Amsterdam label heavyweight, he has been on the forefront of electronic dance music since the late eighties. His pioneering vision across two decades of music genres now ranks him as one the most versatile, sought-after... international artists, commanding weekly performances on the house, techno and techhouse global club and festival circuits. As well as his South American tour and his summer residency in Ibiza in 2010, this year included his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 as well as marked the start of a 24 month invitation to Sensation’s global stage, performing at all the party capitals of the world with “we celebrate life with house”.

Constantly reinventing himself, 2000 And One has been on the forefront of electronic music since the late eighties. Clear musical vision and a do-it-yourself mentality have brought him where he is today: leading some of Amsterdam’s most renowned technolabels and representing a sound and a scene that have captured the hearts of many around the world. Heavily infected by the acid house bug in the late eighties, Dylan produced his first record at age seventeen - under his monniker 2000 And One. Not only was he among the first succesful Dutch techno producers, he also was one of the first in this genre to perform live. In 1993 he laid the foundations for 100 % Pure Records with schoolmate and partner in crime Sandy Hüner.

It has been a kickstart for the careers of renowned artists like Orlando Voorn, Steve Rachmad and of course for his own career. The plug was pulled from 100% Pure in the late nineties, partly because Dylan was ready to pursue a different career. But the house bug isn’t easily exterminated, so after a sabbatical of some years he gave in to the ever lingering desire to create new music and put Amsterdam on the map again. Inspired by new artists and fresh sounds, Dylan decided to start exactly where he took off, relaunching the label and laying the foundations for Amsterdam’s internationally renowned New School dj/producer generation. 2000 And One struck back with a vengeance. His epic stomper Adonai Elohim (2005) immediately caught the eye of technofreaks around the globe.

Tropical Melons (2006) became a massive festival hit, as well as Microfunk’s contemporary techno classic Pecan (2006). The list goes on with his album ’Heritage’ as the crownpiece of this impressive discography. A powerful hommage to the timelessness of house music, Heritage was picked up by many as 2009 best house/techno album. For himself, 2000 And One constantly seeks out new challenges and projects.

David De Valrea - CrawDaddy
David De Valera (voted Ireland’s best resident Dj 2010) shows that there’s more to Irish electronic music than many people really appreciate. He set his own agenda ever since his early days playing in some of Dublin's most infamous club nights and he’s sure to make Crawdaddy his own with carefully selected international guests and the best in home grown talent playing the finest House and Techno. Very few Dj’s do house and techno better than David De Valera.

Salacious & Friends - Pod
Sa-la-cious - (deriv. of sal?re to jump, move spasmodically). Transmission & Family resident Salacious returns to the Pod with a fresh libertine music policy for the revamped Pod room. The lads are not averse to taking a request or two as they thrive on jumping genres, from Alternative to House, Indie to Electro, Disco to Retro-Pop and more in between. PODium for Salacious will be about blending the fun & unpredictable aspects of Saturday nights with a sing along, jump around attitude with no other motive then to just let loose.


Songs Of Praise - Chocolate Bar
Things take a rather more audacious direction with the Songs Of Praise team bringing their original Rock and Roll Karaoke Club to The Chocolate Bar. No, don’t expect Celine Dion or ABBA, you can stand up and be a rock God.
