Oaklands Road, London

When Patrick Jumpen was just a little eleven year old kid, his mom showed him a old photo. While he was watching it his mom said to him, “This is your half-sister, she lives in England”. The old photo contained 2 little kids and Patrick’s mom said to him “the girl on the photo, she is 20 years old now”. That was 10 years ago.

Things where different in the 90’s, in that time, believe it or not, people actually bought music! I mean, what could we do else? Beside listening to the radio all day of-course… Waiting for that one song you loved so much and record it with a cassette-deck! The Internet did not function as it functions today, back in the 90’s the Internet was a platform to find “small” information only, like video-game cheats or pornographic images (haha). Of-course there was e-mail, but what is the use of e-mail if only the geeks had it? Social network-sites and Instant messengers? Ha ha, Instant-what?

So you can understand why I, as eleven year old kid, never got it in my mind to search for my half-sister! My mom and dad where very vague about her, it was a very sensitive subject and the possibility to actually find her was zero, so I did not bother my parents with all kinds of questions and just continued doing what I already did! School, friends, Super Nintendo, Happy Hardcore, Pokemon and What-so-ever.

Ten years later, 2009, things have changed. You know me, but I don’t know you! Really, I’m serious! You are here because we share the same interests. Without actually knowing each-other in person we are still connected! This is something that was absolutly not possible in the 90’s.

I truly enjoy providing you with new dance-moves, the music to dance on and to fill your spare time with idiotic Jumpstyle related movies! Of-course I never asked something back for it, except for downloading my music legal. But today In 2009 this is a respect related choice for if you “really” appreciate what I do! It’s not a “must” anymore because downloading illegal is easier then downloading legal! So I say, you appreciate what I do? Show that by downloading my tracks legal for a change!

But today that is going to change, I’m gonna ask you something, your help! I was in my studio when I -out of nothing- got a flashback of the photo that I talked about earlier. I contacted my mom with the following question: “what is the full name of my half-sister?” Her reply was: “I really don’t know, ask your Dad“. So I did, I made a phone-call to South America where my dad lives and asked him about my half-sister.

What I’m about to tell you now is really scandalous, so get ready for this.

When I was a 5 month old unborn child, it was Christmas and my dad was in the United Kingdom with the mother of my half-sister,it gets even better folks, my mom wasn’t only aware of this but she even got a angry phone-call from the mother of my half-sister with just 1 goal ”He has to choose between me and you“. Eventually my dad chose for my mom and broke all contact with the mother of my half-sister. Later on I even hear-ed that my (now 90 year old) grandfather was once a notorious Latin-American gangster, even owning a brothel. This stuff was all new for me so looking back to my own past with women from this point of view, it became clear that the word asshole is simply printed in my genes.

My dad did not know the first name of his first kid, my half-sister. I know my dad, I did not expected him to know stuff like the birth date, but this… His excuse was “It was a accident happened more then 30 years ago” He asked me why I was “digging in the past” and gave me “everything” he knew about the mom of my half-sister.

The name of the mother of my half-sister is “Shelley Greenwich”, she is around 45-55 years old and 21 years ago she lived in London. To be exactly: “Street: Oaklands Rd Postalcode: NW2 City: LONDON“.

Just to be precise, my dad gave me the following name: (by phone, how he said it) “Shelly Grennitch”. As I know Greenwich is pronounced as Gren-itch or Grin-itch. So Shelly-Shelley, Greenwich-Grenitch-Grinitch are possible combinations, but Shelley Greenwich is the assumable way of writing it.

Watching this 23 year old photo, we find on the back the name of my half-sister, “Sonia“. According to my dad he was not “sure” that the ”2nd kid” was his also, whatever that is supposed to mean. The name of the little brother of Sonia is Keith Daniels, he is born on 9 November 1985. I don’t know if “Daniel” is his 2nd name or his surname. I also don’t know if Sonia and Keith carry the surname “Greenwich”.

So, what can you do to help me?

1. If you have a friend in London, that lives in or around the postal code NW2, send him this article!
2.If you live in London, close to the NW2 Area and willing to visit the Oaklands road for me, contact me!
3. If you know Shelley Greenwich or her (adult) kids Sonia and Keith, contact me! *
4. If you don’t live in London, come back sometimes an follow the updates!

*Don’t contact them directly, it is of absolutely no help if 200 people at the same time stumble Facebook, Google, etc. leave that! It truly won’t help me when 200 strangers stalk a 30 year old woman with a wild story she didn’t even hear from her own mom, never mind from a stranger! If you found a possible match, CONTACT ME!

The address I have, is from 21 years ago. There is a possibility that she still lives here but there is also a possibility that they moved away to somewhere else! (That’s what Option 4 is for!) I have the house-number in the Oaklands RD, I don’t place it here because I don’t want people to “stalk” her, when you contact me I will provide you with the full address, I will instruct you what to do, you visit the address and play my personal detective!

For all I know, she could have moved to Japan, Canada or anywhere else on the world. that’s why I ask you to come back and follow the updates until I found her, I will update this article immediately when I have more recent information.

Click here to contact me!

Updates:

2 September – Article is written and published.
3 September – A English woman that lives close to the adress with the name Corina, will give her a visit next week!

Reverze 2009 – Creation Of Life

Posted on 09. Feb, 2009 by Editor-in-Chief in Editorial / Opinion

The 31st of January was the day that Dion went to Reverze in the Sportpalace located in Antwerp, Belgium. According to many this is ab-so-lut-ley the best Belgium harddance event. Will Dion agree on this saying or will he burn it down to the ground? Listen to what he has to say about Reverze 2009!

MAINSTAGE:
Angerfist Live, Deepack, Coone, D-Block & S-Te-Fan, Korsakoff, Headhunterz vs Wildstylez, Playboyz vs Dr Rude, Chicago Zone, Noisecontrollers, Dark-E, Q-ic vs Lethal Mg, Gave. Ronald V, Unknown Species Live, Stephy vs Activator and Binum. Host: MC Villian.

VIP Arena:
Art of Fighters vs Stunned Guys Live, Isaac, Scope DJ, Vince vs The Viper, Josh & Wesz, Psyko Punkz, Demoniak Live, Greg C Vs E-Max, Vicious D & Larsson, Fenix, Mystery vs Instigator, Qatja S and Jones vs Sjoekoe. Hosted by Mc Linez & Mc Apster.

As natural I was packed with 4 VIP-Tickets, 2 friends and my girlfriend on this edition of Reverze. With this line-up the VIP-Ticked doesn’t seem to be an big added value, I mean who wouldn’t go to the main-stage? My main issue was, I really hate long lines. I’m being for real here, the sight of thousands of people in a line doesn’t make me very happy. I’m not arrogant my dear friends, I just feel far to good to stand in a line!

But even that is to much to ask, “VIPs” had to wait 50 minutes in a “VIP” entrance line! Exactly… You get the point.

Are there so many important people to make a line with a 50 minute length? I mean how could they ever mess up with the VIP-Tickets like this?!? A “VIP” shouldn’t stand in the cold for 50 minutes, period!

After finally getting into the VIP-area we walked to the VIP-Deck and the main-stage looked absolutely massive at the first sight. It definitely made me “WOW”!. It had really big and long video-screens, a massive laser-show (images) and a big circle with lights at the ceiling with a cocoon attached to it in the middle. It seems to had a connection with the “Creation of Life”, the event’s name. From this point on it looked like they had a surprise for us popping out of that cocoon!

So nowadays everybody wants to be that nerd ! LIKE DJ COONE

That was the sound we heard when the event started. Plain simple and no-nonsense. We all wanna be a nerd! Just like DJ COONE. In what context you place this I’ll just leave up to you! The announcer told us he was the biggest DJ from Belgium and yes, mister Koen Bauweraerts a.k.a Coone popped out of the cocoon! What a happening was this. The crowd was going absolutely crazy, the lasers went crazy and the fireworks was banging into our ears causing permanent damage and we all absolutely loved it! Big respect to DJ Coone for his wonderful set, the crowd went absolutely crazy. Not only because of the music, also due the charisma of mister Bauweraerts!

I hope that the Editor-in-Chief mister Patrick Jumpen allows me to scream one thing out loud: Coone! Get back to the Dirtyworkz Jumpsounds.

After Coone the Hardstyle came, for 3 hours in the main! I’m really not a big fan of Hardstyle and I don’t really get the people that are. Not that I’m Anti-Hardstyle but I just prefer the older Hardstyle sounds like: Pure, Our Power and Pwoap for example. I still hope that it will return one day!

Some other notable things where the sets of for example DJ GAVE, he played all his own records and I absolutely loved that. Q-ic vs Lethal MG also was really impressive. The sound was really mediocre until midnight. In previous editions of Reverze I already experienced the way they don’t use the full sound capabilities of the Sportpalace until it’s midnight, it’s just shortening the party in my opinion!

It was already 3:30 in the morning when I got surprised by The Playboyz Vs Dr. Rude. Oh My God, this was absolutely the best set of the whole evening! Only big hits, many old hits and some were different versions with some nicely added sounds. Everybody was sleeping during the 3 hours of Hardstyle, I was glad these boys set off the alarm-clock and woke everybody up! BOOM! Everybody was jumping and screaming and the crowd went crazy, again! Those 2 guys should be really proud of what they’ve done on this day. RESPECT!

Positive:

Line-up
Vibe & Crowd
Decoration & Light-show

Negative:

VIP system
Low volume
To much Hardstyle

Overall Opinion:

The line-up is so massive that I forgive the Reverze organisation for messing up the VIP-System so badly, the vibe is so good that you (almost) forget that the sound is so horrible and the laser-show makes you so blind that you don’t hear the Hardstyle anymore! OK… Now seriously, it is true what they say. This is the best Harddance event of Belgium, without any doubt!
