Filming for Noise of Aggression at M1K event in Paris (7h)
On the seventh of September I got to accompany the artist 'Noise of Aggression' as a videographer to one of his bookings in Paris, he would be playing at the event 'Bounce City' which is hosted by M1K events. We departed early in the afternoon by car and on the way there I was talking to him about what songs where most important to capture on film, furthermore I was asking him about what type of shots he would prefer (From the crowd, from the side or from behind him). We arrived about 2 hours before his set time in Paris, in this time I changed the settings on my camera to be adapted to the venue and tested if everything worked. I filmed about 40 minutes of the 60 minute set, focusing on all the tracks from Noise of Aggression himself. Besides filming I also had the opportunity to speak to a part of the event organization, learning about their operations and expanding my network.
Full Velocity Event (20h)
Full Velocity is my own event and we are currently working hard on our 3th edition: Once Upon A Time.
On this page I will share a detailed breakdown of the hours I've put into Full Velocity and about what I've achieved in those hours.
Producing Song 'All You Need - Noise of Aggression, MVRS, Victus' (8h)
On the eighth of October I started to work on a new song together with the artists Noise of Aggression and Victus. We bought the vocal for the track and at first started to think about what kind of vibe we wanted to create within the track, after listening to the vocal a couple of times we decided to built a euphoric uptempo track in the G minor key. On the first day we created the intro and the first two drops, unfortunately we ran out of time for that day. We were so hyped for this track that we decided to meet up a week later of the fifteenth of October. We listened to the track again and we decided to change the second drop a bit before continuing with the break, this is where we bounced around some ideas and we ended up with a very emotional and euphoric break / second buildup. Two days later we met up again to add the finishing touches and on the we released the song on the first of November.
Performing at Tiki Fest (7h)
On November 30th I got to play at Tiki Fest, this is a small event in Kerkrade that features raw style and uptempo. I was asked to perform the special live act me and Noise of Aggression have together called: Ode to the Bounce 'live'. The set itself only lasted for about 30 minutes, however quite some time was spend preparing for this event. I first started with the creation of a 'openings tool', this is a openings song specially created for the event where you play. It took some time but after a while I ended up using a soundtrack from Spongebob and remixing this. Below you can find the tool that I created for Tiki Fest.
After the tool was created we put together the track list and we practiced and timed the set once, just to check if any changes were necessary. We made some final adjustments and that concluded the preparations for the set. Performing the set was just awesome, the sound was good and the atmosphere was just amazing. Here is a video of the performance:
Performing at Private NYE Party (5h)
I was asked to perform my live set with Noise of Aggression again for New years eve, this time we would be playing at a private party hosted by Roger Verstappen who is also known as DJ Victus. The event was visited by about 50 people, they had build a special stage and the line-up consisted of some well know uptempo DJ's like Aalst, Latifi and Maintrex. As the preparations for the event I had created a new tool. This time a made a remix of the Max Verstappen song, because he shares his same last name with Roger. You can listen to the intro tool down below.
We had to play at the event from 00:45 until 01.30, so we had a set time for about 45 minutes. The energy in the crowd was great and I got a lot of positive feedback after the set. Unfortunately I don't have much footage of the set, just this video:
