STAAS LUCASSEN is a prominent figure in the Amsterdam dance scene. Since 1995 he is active as an artist and started his musical development in the direction where he is now. From his start as D.J. in the Amsterdam scene he was involved as an organizer in many underground parties in warehouses and other obscure locations. In 2008 he started the organization Switch Music Events where he continues to put his stamp on the Dutch techno scene until 2013. His organizational skills have ensured that in 2012 he produced over 200 events and several festivals in his name. Besides this busy activity he opened his own club called PAND 14 in the year 2011. The dark acid techno from the years 1989-1995 have a major influence on his musical development. He has a mix of deep, dark and pushing techno and flowing with the melodic influence of electro and acid. These days Staas is usually to be found running RADION AMSTERDAM! We welcome this very special guest on The Bus!!

RUBZMAN: Dutch dj/producer Rubzman uses deep & uplifting dance music to take his audience on an adventure. In the early 80’s he started making music using a 4 track sampler. Taking inspiration fr his day-job as 1/3 of the Vision Impossible vj team, his signature is a warm blend of sounds & cinematic build-ups. 2014 saw the release of his 1st EP on Cosmic Disco Records. A 2nd EP was released on Berlin-based Code2---both well received. His latest EP, Atlantiz, is a solo production on A'dam label Xqisit. An EP Ibiza Spirit w/ dj Lady Ace was brought out in May & the duo became hosts of Cosmic Disco's monthly radio show. Rubzman holds down various residencies in A'dam; vet! at Club NL, Panama, Sugar Factory, & The Bus naturally, after having played his 1st official gig w/ us at Paradiso in 2011!

BOB SQUAT started dj'ing in 1989. Moving to A'dam at a young age, he found himself playing in clubs at the Leidse & Rembrandtpls. When underground warehouse parties became the thing, he played at the Silo & organised his own event Final Solution under the Schellingwoudebrug; at Sloterdijk he created large events; he was involved in Legalize; as his knowledge on underground locations in Amsterdam built up over the years, his coaching has been asked for & appreciated on several occasions w/ organisations as well as dj’s. Bob has been on The Bus ever since we did our radio program The Bus Station in 2001.

NUMBER4 started playing at age 16; hanging at parties since 14, always watching the dj's, wanting to do that too. Buying turntables/mixer, after many hours of practice, he recorded a demo, sent it out to organizations. Invited to play parties in P'end, Number4 was heard by many, leading to bigger parties in A'dam & Z'dam. 2008-9 he was Friday resident at Club Subway. From gabber, his taste changed to techno; investing in music, Number4 (the name came fr an old record), started recording demo's again, leading to gigs & residencies w/ several organizations, incl The Bus. Now age 25, this marks Number4's 4th Paradiso gig w/in a yr!

>Stalking Awareness Dance @ Paradiso Amsterdam ..because stalking is SAD. Stalking is trending ; De Bus Party Organization (Amsterdam) vindt dit triest.
Daarom hebben we de Stalking Awareness Dance georganiseerd @ Paradiso Amsterdam,
zaterdag 25 juli 2015, 23.30-05.00, boven in de kleine zaal! We willen duidelijk maken dat stalking onacceptabel is en niet getolereerd of geaccepteerd moet worden. Steun ons met deze missie en kom dansen om stalking een halt toe te roepen!!<


THE BUS Party Organization was started in Amsterdam in 1996 by Canadian ex-pat Debra Mitchell as a vehicle to bring English dj and friend John OO Fleming to The Netherlands. Borrowing the name "The Bus" from the philosophy of 1960's Merry Band of Pranksters, (with full approval of Chief Prankster Ken Kesey), The Bus got running Saturday 2 March 1996 at Amsterdam's Catacomben with John OO Fleming taking the driver's seat. Saturday 9 August 1996, after just 3 small sold-out parties, The Bus made their Paradiso (V.I.P. Club) debut headlined by Dave Randall, (having made his Netherlands debut 20 April 1996, also on The Bus, also at Catacomben). The Bus celebrated their one-year anniversary with a party at Paradiso---their third Pardiso party in little more than six months---with John OO Fleming back behind the wheels. In total The Bus has done 14 full Paradiso parties with international djs such as Billy Nasty, Fabio Paras, Steve Thomas, Devilfish...with local heros the likes of JP, Angelo, Paul Jay, Cellie, Gino, David Hernandez...introduced newcomers Bart Skils, Steven de Peven...and giving start to artists like Airplain Visuals, Raymond Taubin Chabot.. Even Simon Vinkenoog has enriched The Bus with a performance. Also responsible for memorable parties at the Church of Ruigoord, Mazzo, and various clubs and squats, (working with Radical Rehousing), The Bus has travelled to Denmark with Het Amsterdam Ballongezelschap to co-organize parties there. In 2001 when Ken Kesey passed on, Debra began to take a back seat in the party world, having lost her mentor. Now, after an overhaul, The Bus is back on the scene. With parties at Paradiso, Pand 14, Club NL, 't Schuim, The Bus is now in talks with some of Holland's biggest festival organizers.
What to expect on a Bus party?? ---Excellent music, (techno, acid, house), handmade decoration, a fun warm friendly atmosphere where you can be yourself, as well as an opportunity for new artists from all disciplines to work with established artists. Are you on The Bus? It's The Business!
