Border Community NYE @ Melkweg, Amsterdam, Netherlands : 31st December 2011

Our loyal Dutch comrades just can’t seem to get enough of us at the moment, and the feeling is pretty much mutual, with the clued up Netherlands crowd remaining one of our artists’ favourite audiences to play to. New Years Eve provides the latest welcome excuse for a mass Border Community get together on Dutch soil, when our old friends at the Melkweg have handed not one but two rooms over to our curative control to celebrate the coming of the New Year in style.

Welsh mystic Wesley Matsell is first to kick off proceedings in the main room, providing one of his most able build ups to the midnight hour, the arrival of which is heralded by a special guest DJ set from emotronic posterboy and recent DJ Kicks incumbent Apparat. Our original Norfolk wunderkind Nathan Fake then makes a welcome return to Border Community’s Melkweg stage encampment to unveil all of the latest hotness contained within his laptop hard drive, before the trusty hands and luscious musical selections of Mr James Holden guide us assertively towards the early hours.

Meanwhile, over in the “Oude Zaal” Amsterdam stalwart Jorn Liefdeshuis gives the dancefloor its first workout of 2012, giving way to the truly awesome synth-and-sax combo of cosmic gatekeeper and special guest Etienne Jaumet. Etienne’s recent remix victim Luke Abbott will also be close at hand to give the crowd the buffaloing they deserve, before the upbeat selections of Miss Kate Wax in her DJ incarnation bring matters to a most satisfying conclusion.

Advance tickets are available from Ticketmaster at the early bird price of 40 Euros – so don’t hesitate!
