Fun Feel Free (FFF) is about...

feeling different and flash back to the roots that created it...
to enjoy the freedom and basics that made it happen...
and to have the right for fun or pleasure...
because it's not a sin when you're in heaven...

Begonnen als een door verveling geinspireerd initiatief van een stel vrienden werd de eerste pre-FFF PARTY gelanceerd op onze nationale feestdag ... Zelfs op deze algemene feestdag mocht niets, tenzij... en dan de regels en geboden van de gemeente...

Waar moesten we heen? Wat was er voor spannends te beleven? De ingeslapen vrolijkheid en algehele matheid waarmee Amsterdam als "wereldstad" zijn en andere burgers verwelkomde in deze eens zo prominente stapstad, was voor ons doorgewinterde stappers een frustratie die als maar groter werd. We behoorden niet meer tot de opkomende tieners, waren zelfs behoorlijk door de wol geverfd en alléén in staat tot aktie tenzij er iets bijzonders te beleven viel in uitgaansland.

Maar blijkbaar was er voor onze groep oud- maar nog lang niet uit-gediende staptijgers geen podium beschikbaar omdat de commercie haar blikken alleen maar richtte op de nieuwe generatie massa trendvolgers die ook massaal bediend werden, zie maar de tegenwoordige megafeesten...
Niet ècht ons ding.

Ondertussen zijn er reeds een zestal succesvol verlopen FFF PARTY'S geweest, en blijven we voor onze doelgroep zoeken naar de lokaties die passen bij het concept dat er ontwikkeld is. Wij benaderen onze doelgroep op persoonlijke wijze en zorgen ervoor dat de sfeer waar we naar streven zo ongedwongen, onbevangen en onbevooroordeeld is. Wij flyeren niet, maar sturen onze bezoekers een persoonlijke uitnodiging thuis, welke tevens aan de deur moet worden getoond. Iedereen wordt in zijn waarde gelaten. Alle gezindten, kleuren en geaardheden worden door persoonlijke invitaties erbij betrokken om samen plezier te maken, je vrij te voelen en jezelf te zijn.

Wij vragen onze bezoekers om hun prive adres, zodat de invitaties op persoonlijke titel kunnen worden verstuurd. Deze dient voor intern gebruik ten behoeve van FFF en is niet bestemd voor derden!

Onze bezoekers komen voor op onze mailinglist of zijn via persoonlijke netwerken gelieerd. Met de doelgroep richten we ons op de diepte omdat er in de breedte genoeg te doen is. Wij willen geen massa product zijn of worden, en zorgen er derhalve voor een select publiek bij elkaar te krijgen dat het concept dat wordt aangeboden onderschrijft. Niet alleen de muziek, maar ook variaties en aanvullingen met acts omlijnen onze presentaties.
Aangezien we een non-commerciele organisatie zijn, lobbyen we veel tussen vrienden en kennissen en worden hand en spandiensten verleend. Zo kunnen we ùw en ònze kosten acceptabel en binnen het door ons bedachte concept houden.

Aan het te meten succes van de afgelopen party's wordt duidelijk, dat er een groeiende behoefte is voor persoonlijke kleinschalige feesten zoals FFF die organiseerd, bedoeld om de sfeer van weleer terug te halen: geen metaaldetectoren, geen kleerkasten ter beveiliging, geen hoge entreé gelden, geen dure dranken, maar alternatieve lokaties als verrassingselement èn ter verfrissing van de reeds alom bekende clubs waar de doelgroep op uitgekeken is, met gemêleerd publiek dat de veelzijdigheid en kleur van de samenleving weerspiegeld.

Zie hier het basisconcept waar steeds weer aan gewerkt wordt door FFF, zodat er voor een andere doelgroep dan die waar de commercie zijn zinnen op gezet heeft ook een podium ontstaat waar het ouderwets toeven is op lets rock the HOUSE.

Lets have fun and feel free as it used 2b...

Did you enjoy our party? Do you have ideas to improve the fun? Feel free to leave your comments here!

TIPS
Weet jij toevallig een geschikte lokatie voor FFF,
laat het ons even weten, we gaan er echt achter aan !

IDEAS
Een goede DJ gehoord ?, we bieden een podium voor elk
aankomen talent dat de tent doet swingen,
laat ons kennis maken met hem of haar.
Denk je dat je een kanjer tussen de draaitafels bent ,
stuur ons een demo, Rozengracht 51 a, 1016 ls Amsterdam.

DJ YAMANI


Yamani entered the world of music at age 7 by performing as the youngest member of an electric-boogie/break-dance street-act. After many different choices about how to integrate completely with music, he finally came to the conclusion that composing music as a DJ was the only right choice to make.

He started in 1999 and only 2 years later he was working as the resident DJ of BMF Café in Eindhoven. From there on he got his first booking at one of the Movin Melodies parties, also in Eindhoven. Having given several performances; which vary from a 7's party in the Belgium Ardennes and Oirschot, to a morning after session at the Latido’s in Amsterdam; from the Pinkster party festival in the South of Holland, to the Westergasterrein in the East; he now is a resident DJ at 'the Rechter' in Eindhoven, where he has his own club nights. He is also a resident DJ at the F-F-F parties in Amsterdam and now cannot wait to integrate his music with Aroma Visuals.

His music varies from groove to techno and from tribal to solid, but has one thing in common:

His own 'Underground Getto Funk' signature.

DJ BRIAN S


The 22 of july he'll present his new innovated sounds to us! The groooooove go's on!
Brian Stolwijk started back in 1995 warming up in the iT club in Amsterdam for established DJs like Jean and Marcello., after having played around a bit for fun with CD’s and also dancing professionally at several events. Within no time, people from over the country started booking him for clubs and parties, and his star started rising and shining as well in the rest of Europe.

Brian is what people call A Personality. While spinning his extremely funky and groovy garage tunes, he establishes an incredible party atmosphere by playing with the audience and infecting them with his positive vibrations, causing havoc wherever he goes.

Apart from his weekly residency at the Sandy’s in Amsterdam, he has already done his thang at the RoXY, Chemistry and Ministry in Amsterdam, Stalker Club in Haarlem, the 100 Hours House Marathon in Utrecht, MTC Rotterdam and various special events like fashion shows, boat- and beach parties, and furthermore in Café d’Anvers in Antwerp , Palace and Follies Pigalle in Paris, the Cannes Film Festival 1999, the Amsterdam House Party in St. Petersburg, It in Porto and several parties in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

At the moment, Brian is busy with a project involving a DJ (himself), a percussionist (Martino) and a keyboard player (Jazzy D. from Future Groove Express). He’s very excited about it, as he sees it as a way to expand his horizon and also to create an even better vibe between -the stage- and -the floor-. It’s amazingly cool to do this, and I also think the people are really into it”, as the man himself puts it. People get ready, Brian is coming your way to mash up the place! -Pump it up! Pump it up!!

DJ VEETA' D


Veeta’d was born in 1967 in Casablanca, Morocco. Since the early age of 8, Veeta’d got involved in music, having fun and exploring rythms playing selfmade guitars and drums. Growing up in a house where the biggest names of Arabic, Indian and Western music where an everyday thing, years went by, and his interest in music grew and with it, his knowledge of music. Thanks to the influence he got at home, and inspired by his friends and artists, Veeta’d has made an extraordinary impression on dancefloors. His kindred spirit whose ear for a killer tune has spawned amazing sets. His diversity in his performance is both consistent and memorable, always striving to create the whole picture in a set. He knows exactly what he's doing in terms of creating a journey. It is his humbleness and boundless energy which feeds off anybody who comes across this man. He is the most famous unknown dj , the best kept secret of amsterdam

Dj VEETA' D, hij is de bekendste onbekende dj die Amsterdam kent.
Hij draait al heel erg lang mee, maar alleen op exclusieve underground feesten waar hij met zijn platenkeuze die bestaat uit alle stromingen van de dansmuziek, vele harten weet te bekoren. De out/indoor party's op RUIGOORD zijn een van de vele projecten waar men hem goed kent als dè vaste dj.
Hoor het grote mysterie hier bij FFF aan het werk.

DJ SIN


DJ Sin started playing records as DJ Sen in 1998 at a friends' Gothic party. In the following years he was DJ'ing at various parties in a wide variety of musical styles; Disco, New Wave, Ska, Hiphop, Mod, Funk, Drum & Bass, Merengue, Punk, Beat, Industrial, Grunge, Dancehall, Soul, Kaseko, Gothic. you name it!

He could be found spinning at Paradiso (Noodlanding), Melkweg (Crossfader), Club Arena (Timezone), Ahknaton (Vortex) and even Surinam weddings. During these years he became more and more intrigued by Techno and House music. He bought himself two proper turntables and a mixer and started practicing the art of beatmixing.

On Queensday 2004 he made his debut with his first house set under the new name DJ Sin. He did a legendary 15 minute set, after which he blew up the soundsystem. This party ended but inspired for a string of parties to follow; at the three following FFF parties DJ Sin was present to spread his music. He has also been spinning at the famous Residential Sessions, De Boulevard in Breda and the recent Electricity & Virginity party.

DJ Sin would like to refer to his style as Tech Porn; a dark, horny and funky mix of Tech House, Progressive and Techno with a dash of Tribal, Minimal and Electro.
