No more… 😊 Tomorrow i’m coming home after a 6 weeks treatment in a Scottish rehab facility. I feel stronger, more confident, more self-aware, physically fit and most of all grateful for all i’ve learned during my time here. Thanks to all for your heartfelt messages i’ve received over the last 6 weeks. I kindly ask for your support and respect for my decision to continue my dj carreer in sobriety for the years to come 🙏🏼 And i hope to see you all on the dancefloor the next coming weeks; fri 04/08: Dekmantel Festival (b2b @skeemask_official ), Amsterdam 🇳🇱 sun 13/08: Paradigm Festival (as @TAFKAMP b2b @dondinodeniro ), Groningen 🇳🇱 sun 20/08: XRDS23, Anderlecht 🇧🇪 sun 20/08: Lowlands Festival, Biddinghuizen 🇳🇱 fri 01/09: Missing Persons Club (as TAFKAMP), Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 sat 02/09: ZeeZout Festival (as TAFKAMP), Amsterdam 🇳🇱 sat 09/09: Monnom Black at Lofi, Amsterdam 🇳🇱 fri 15/09: Into The Woods Festival (as TAFKAMP), Amersfoort 🇳🇱 #stranger #TAFKAMP #dj #nomorespeedbumps

De favoriete dj van je favoriete dj? Het is een uitgekauwd cliché, maar in het geval van de Rotterdamse techno-dj stranger gaat het echt op. Terwijl dat eindelijk begon te landen en zijn dj-leven in een stroomversnelling kwam, nam hij een stap terug om af te rekenen met zijn middelenmisbruik en leert nu weer om te genieten van het draaien. ‘Het is zo genormaliseerd in deze wereld. Ik ken geen andere sector waarin je werkgever je alcohol aanbiedt, laat staan een lijntje.’ Dit weekend staat hij zij-aan-zij met ROD op Awakenings Upclose, later dit jaar ook op Awakenings, Wildeburg en Dekmantel.
