April 1st, 2011 - SEKOIA - the lovechild of MIDI Fight Club (Studio K, Amsterdam, NL)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...SekoiaWIP2.jpg

With last July's MIDI Fight Club Berlin in mind, we felt it was time to progress.
Enter SEKOIA. A more pollished and focussed concept in line with the MIDI Fight Club heritage.
This, amongst others, has impact on the line up. Which is a little more strict this time.
Not too much different genres for one night, guaranteed to keep the crowd focus more tight.

Where MIDI Fight Club was more gritty and underground, SEKOIA tends to tower high above the ground.
Aiming for light, love and environment, we refer to our symbol the old sequoia tree.
Conceived by DJTechTool members Whyte, Tekki, Hedgehog, and D (dennis), you can only guess that this party is just another name for a fantastic time!

The first SEKOIA edition will be held in the Netherlands. Where else than Amsterdam itself could be the place of the conception?
That's right, Amsterdam, party capital of the world is determined to be the most suitable this time around!

So me, D and Tekki (for a bit:p), are working our asses of to get this thing off the ground. It's going to be one hell of a ride to get there.

So stoked!

Hey, join the competition and see if you can win a slot for the night. ;)

Awesome, Whyte and Tekki.
