Appelsap
date: 21-07-2010
Summer is here in Holland and festivals in full mode. One of the sweetest and juiciest events is Appelsap, that will celebrate its 10th anniversary on the 1st of August in Oosterpark Amsterdam… Most famous because of the unique vibe and high quality of resident dj’s such as SP, Edzon & Lil’Vic, in the last 10 years Appelsap evolved into being one of the best Dutch hiphop-events.
In the beautiful Oosterpark they’ll take hiphop back to its roots, while reaching 5000 music lovers every year. We’ve hooked up and for their new campaign Ontour made sure some of the table guests look sharp in our Summer shirts;)
This edition Clipse will be headlining, De Jeugd will be popping some new tracks from their soon to be released new album, Rich medina from Philly, Dimlite from Swiss and ofcourse all suspects from the Dutch Appel scene will be there. Check the complete program here!
So when you’re visiting Amsterdam the 1st of August, be sure not to miss this!
Lowlands Ontour!
date: 04-07-2010
We love festivals. And Lowlands is my favourite. I think it was in ‘95 that I went for the first time as a teenager and that truly made a change in my life and the way you can actually party for 3 / 4 days..(just did some research and indeed ‘95 was my first edition).
Since then I only missed a few editions and throughout the year the urge to be there grows the closer the date gets. If you know, you know. There’s just something very special about this place. Experienced some epic moments there and the ecstatic feeling I have when I’m there, contrasts with the miserable mindstate the week after…
Lowlands 2010 coming up and we were honoured to be asked by Freshcotton and the Lowlands commision to design 2 graphics that expressed our ‘Lowlands feeling’ for the upcoming edition. For us the festival is about partying 24hrs and the feeling of ‘coming home’ or ‘being back’ in the Lowlands world…what expresses this better than the big houses, the colourful circus tents where the magic happens?
You feel this? Then hurry up to the Lowlands Freshcotton shop to get yours!
Can’t wait to pack my tent and start driving and see all the smiling faces again. See you in front of the ‘24 uurs tent’ and the ‘Groovetube’

Firestone!
date: 27-04-2010
“In a crozen world where fear itself is nothing to be afraid of the javascript of destruction called Firestone will save you from blackhearted browsers in an interfacial 2.0 twilight mirrorvision.” Ehhh…this is how your favourite boyband FIRESTONE describes itself. Ontour supports these hard hitting guys. They’ve made their marks in bands like Malkovich, Aux Raus and other obscure dark venues and in between jobs. Firestone is fast, tight, hard and fun. We like. Here a little interview for the Dutch readers.
Recently they played at De Dep on 4 square meters, nicely dressed. Go see the live (but be in time > their concerts are max 15 minutes).
