Open Bar P.O.V. Barrio Habana - Queensday

Oscar P's DJ Blog - New York - Holland - Frankfurt - New York

Hello New York! Back from another exhausting trip, 3 days in The Netherlands and 2 days in Frankfurt Germany.

Arnhem, Holland - April 29th-30th 2008. You really have to see it with your own eyes. The Queensday Festival in Arnhem attracts 700,000 visitors each year. We heard all the stories but were unprepared for the sheer massive volume of people. Even the videos and pictures don't tell the whole story, as we were just in one section of the town. We had little sleep for 2 days. DJ's played on various sound stages around the square, some big, many smaller, yet attracting thousands of people to each stage. The atmosphere was claustrophobic, but one of the best events I have ever participated in. 2 hours away the same festival scene attracted 1 million people in Amsterdam taking nothing away from the vibe in Arnhem. Playectra & Oscar P from Open Bar Music produced an incredible line-up of local and international DJs that included Sirkhan, Ivan Robles, Jordan Rivera, Darren Holland, Simon Finnegan, Franky Sweetz, Coll Selini, Chris Salman, Vincent Noval, Maroy. Performers Ama Zedry, and Faada Spooonface held host-mic duties. Speakers pulsated across the town, and could be heard for miles. At midnight we move the DJs inside the Barrio Habana and the party chugs on. The most amazing aspect for me was after it was all over. It's 5am, and I am walking back to my room walking on top a sea of over 500,000 empty plastic beer cups. By 7am the streets were humming with clean up crews all over. By 9am, the street are clean, all the cups were gone and people are pouring into the town like the event never happened! We have breakfast, a beautiful spread from Mr. Edzy. Then we start all over again.
