(Closed door = no fun)
If your call is not being answered, it means that we’re probably in a listening session. Sending us a message could be faster, because we can still respond to messages during the session.
We are 1 minute away from exit Woerderen. There is mo need to deal with the stressful city center. We have several private parking spaces in front. This also makes any loading and unloading easy. So it costs you nothing at all! (No pennies, nor your back.)
Navigate?
We will answer!

For those who really want to know everything about Freakuence!
Yes yes, this is where it all started. The first real audio device! Thomas Edison patented it on Feb. 19, 1878, by which we are not sure he was the actual inventor either, in fact, this clever businessman bought many inventions, only to perfect them upon success.
As early as 1860, France had the phonautograph, which used soot to etch vibrations onto paper; however, these recordings could not be played back, so it can be said that it was merely a recording device. The oldest known recording dates from April 9, 1860, and was played back for the first time by scientists as recently as 2008. We can assure you it’s a very poor-quality recording! The phonautograph also recorded sound through a horn; the captured vibrations were transmitted via a steel needle to a wax cylinder, creating grooves in it. This cylindrical wax cylinder thus became the sound carrier. We have a few of these wax cylinders on display; even the cardboard sleeves alone are fascinating to look at. Unlike the phonautograph, the phonograph did allow for playback. By reversing the process, the steel needle on the wax cylinder actually served to transmit vibrations to the horn. No more musicians needed—just you, all by yourself. Revolutionary. Music, maestro, please!
The Dutchman Lou Ottens developed the cassette at Philips. This was done in collaboration with Japanese electronics manufacturers so that it could be standardized. The cassette was shown to the public for the first time on August 30, 1963. Other magnetic tapes were also available but were pushed out of the market because Philips did not charge royalties for use of the patent. A music cassette (MC) had to be provided with music at the factory. It was thought that the gramophone record would be rejected, but this turned out to be an impossible battle. The first cassette players on the market were therefore not suitable for recording, while this is precisely what consumers were waiting for. The first cassettes had two tracks, one for the A-side, the second for the B-side, meaning they were mono, but soon stereo recorders appeared, and so did four-track tapes. Ultimately, many more blank tapes were sold and we also used them frequently and with great pleasure. From recording radio broadcasts to trying to make your own radio shows (without listeners), from making and distributing mixtapes to borrowing the latest CDs and keeping some guilders in your pocket. We have a wall full of cassettes in the shop, the smile that it evokes in most shows that many have nice memories of the era.
