So pure passion it was. 'We just wanted to have those sick acts like Palms Trax, Hunee, Jameszoo, and Palmbomen II to come to Eindhoven. It makes almost no sense that we did this in the first place.' They even organised a one-off HET WILD Weekender with two totally different styles per day, for which people were already buying tickets without even having released one name of the line-up. That was a big moment for the duo.

There is one HET WILD event that millennials in Eindhoven still talk about when it comes to the best moments they ever had in regards to the city’s nightlife. Their Tom Trago all-night-long event was sold out within a week and is still seen as one of those nights where you just should have been there. But even this night was far from profitable. 'I remember Elvin and me walking home, and we had a quick chat about how our night was. Elvin told me that we had made a loss that evening. OK, we said to each other, at least we had a good time, on to the next one.' This tells us something about the determination you must have if you want to revive or keep alive the club scene in Eindhoven. Besides the financial challenge, there is another all too familiar stumbling block, and that’s permits.
