GET AT NANCE!

WMC MIAMI 2009!

Where should I begin? I was down in South Beach for the world music conference, having the time of our lives. The best DJ's from around the world, playing at infamous clubs of epic porportion with amazing sound system, and people from around the world that come together for this special week. I had to say, the vibes and the energy of it all was almost overwhelming; I hadn't seen those kind of parties since I was born!

Check the video below for Chromeo's set at the Fountain Blue Bacardy Poolparty.


Anyways, this picture was taken on Saturday night @ LIV Nightclub, which was without a doubt the place to be on Saturday night. Erick Morillo was killing it on the turntables all night, bottles poppin' everywhere, people losing their minds to his amazing set. P Diddy got up on the DJ booth, whistle in his mouth, airhorn in his hand, and started going nuts and getting everyone hyped up. Seeing that place fucking jumping, P Diddy getting down to the dopest house music, and everyone having an amazing time, it was truly a great experience.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

In february I had the pleasure to go visit my homeboy Real El Canario in Tenerife. He was preparing Tenerife's largest, most impressive and most spectacular carnival.

Check the video below for his opening set as headliner. U think you know, but u have no idea!



Real el Canario performed along with four US acts; DJ Craze, Ron Carroll, Armand Van Helden and the legendary Roger Sánchez

My interview @ neversatisfied.net

Must read: www.neversatisfied.net for the latest news, funk about fashion x hiphop

Name: Nance Vu
Where do you represent: Amsterdam baby!
Favorite fashion brands: There are WAY too many, but River Islands is one of my fav stores.
Favorite Music artists: too many to name
Worst pickup line you heard this week: I got this random message on myspace recently…
“ I want to train my Dutch, and I have chosen you as my teacher!,” thought it was funny..


NS: Nancy, so Neversatisfied picked you as our first feature for “Lifestyles of the young & hustlin’ ” section, so what do you do for money or just to live?

Nancy: First off, thanx for picking me as your first feature, very appreciated. Well, I just started to branch out on my own a year ago, and now I’m freelancing full time all over the place doing event planning, artistbooking, to PR, etc.

NS: How did you get into the industry, and personally do you think it was harder for you because you are a woman… a very pretty woman at that??

Nancy: Haha..I fell into the industry actually by pursuing a degree in PR and marketing. I started got an internship at ‘Connecting The Scene’ , which is like the biggest urban community company in Europe. This allowed me to get introduced to the entertainment industry.

I think being a woman in general poses challenges in life that men don’t face. It’s tougher because people don’t always take you seriously. But all you have to do is hustle harder! Lol.. You run into so many obstacles especially in the entertainment industry wether you’re male or female and from what I have experienced people try to pull you down. You have to develop a thick skin. Keep moving to the next and the next and the next. Be creative and, I’m devoted to make my mark in the industry.



NS: So you’ve pretty much worked all over the world, where is your favorite city, and is there somewhere you haven’t been to yet that you want to visit.

Nancy: I’d have to say NYC is definitely one of them. The city of neon and chrome and another would have to be LA of course. Life never stops there, there’s never a moment of boredom. Love the people, weather and all that good stuff! Japan is definitely on the next episode. Hopefully this year.

NS: You’ve brought Asian artists like Jin and Far East Movement to Europe and any future plans to work with these guys?

Nancy: I’m always open to work with these cats again. The FM boys are like my fam! Very proud to see how they finally getting the mainstream attention they deserve. I heard some major labels are interested to sign them. So yeah, Europe tour part deux could be coming anytime soon.

NS: Can we go on a date… I mean what do you think the next big trend in music or fashion will be?

Nancy: Haha sure anytime! In Europe, house/dance music has become the new big ‘urban’ movement.This dj I work with, who goes by the name of Real El Canario, came to Amsterdam a few years ago and set off this trend in the Netherlands. People here call it ‘eclectic’ but he simply considers it to be ‘Hip-Hop’. He opened a new door for the club scene, that inspired many dj’s to enter.

I believe the next big trend will be ‘Urban’ artist reaching out and working with dance/house producers. It’s actually already happening and slowly taking over the trill.

NS: Okay, Nance I think I’ve bothered you enough, what big plans do you have for this year?

Nancy: Lets say I’m working on this big project, can’t say too much about it just yet! But you will be the first to know..promise J

OFF TO ANTALYA!

So last month I got this call from one of my partners and she told me about this big hotel owner in turkey who wanted us to put this event together. From decoration to the whole entertainment scene. I was pretty excited but when I got at his hotel in Turkey...

WOW...breathtaking! This place was nuts! It's called the Adam & Eve hotel with the longest swimmingpool, longest bar, longest buffet etc. I seriously gain like 5 kilo's in one week. NO BS! The whole hotel is covered with mirrors and discolights. We even had a jacuzzi in the middle of our room!

Check the video below!




So if you ever plan going to Turkey. Make sure you'll stay at the Adam& Eve Hotel.

BACK ON THAT HUSTLE

I've been back in Europe less than a month now, and i finally found some time to sit back and update my blog for a tiny bit.
As some of ya'll know I've brought dj Sake out for a tour in California. Great experience. Sake had the blessing to dj at the most notorious clubs such as Club Sutra, Club Mood, Highlands and Club LAX in Hollywood.

Check out some pictures below.

Disappointing performance by Mos Def

Mos def cancelled on almost all Rock The Bells gigs in Europe, due some issues with Guerilla Union. They flew in Pharaoh Monch to fill up, but in the end Mos Def showed up performing.
He started of with his 16 bars of The Roots track Rising Down, but his show never came off the ground. Matter of fact his show was wack! The worst! Some people call it selfish, some arrogant, some say lack of respect for the fans, but I guess the issues he has with Guerilla Union pulled his last straw. Unfortunate it had effect on his performance. No Ms. Fat Booty, No Mathematics..not even one full track of his succesfull album. Having that said, he stays an amazing artist and actor!


Mos Def holdin it down for Getatnance

If the glove dont fit the style don't quit!

Supernatural is regarded as one of the most talented freestyle emcees in hip-hop. He has traveled the entire globe, won 1st place in competitions, and rocked every microphone he held.
Supernatural was freestyling off whatever was being thrown @ Rock The Bells and DJ Scratch was constructing beats on the fly based on mere beat-boxing. Impressive on the flow, and on the beat improvisation.



Supernatural holds the world’s record for the longest a freestyle rap at over nine hours.
