I will be teaching English at the University in Antwerpen and hopefully perfecting my Dutch/Flemish...I had a few questions for the all of you: Anyone know of any good DnB nights in Antwerpen/surrounding areas? I DJ as well and will be bringing my vinyl along with me. Anyone have any idea of clubs or bars I might be able to spin at? Do many top DJs come to Belgium or do they normally pass you by for the bigger countries? Anyway, Im really looking forward to getting the hell out of this country and over to yours, and any information you can give me about my questions, or anything else you think I might find useful will be greatly appreciated...bedankt, en tot ziens 25-07-2003 06:13 ripon Cool Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2003 Posts: 131 Oh yeah, my email is dr3000octagon@yahoo.com if you want to email me info, rather than posting it... 25-07-2003 06:15 Emblem-X Master Producer Registration Date: 10-11-2002 Posts: 2,135 Helpfulness rating:  I'm from antwerp but hey you got msn? maybe add me, we can chat about it! rather shitty typing it all down ya know mine is beat_3000@hotmail.com cheerz __ 25-07-2003 11:39 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by ripon Do many top DJs come to Belgium or do they normally pass you by for the bigger countries?
