On Saturday the 8th of November 2008 Menno de Jong will present his first true solo appearance. In the Westerunie in Amsterdam the night will be guided by the sound of Menno de Jong, a truly spectacular event with an extended DJ set.
Menno is approaching his 10th year as a trance DJ, which has lead to many beautiful things. He once started out in local small venues but can now be found on key festivals such as Mysteryland, Trance Energy, Electric Daisy Carnival, Sunrise Festival, Love Parade, Nature One and Mayday. His productions are regularly played in the sets and radio shows of internationally renowned DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and many others. In the past years Menno has developed a solid fan base that regularly attend his performances at clubs and festivals. His gigs in every corner of the world have resulted in a 62nd position in the DJ Mag Top 100 of 2007, and a 10th position in the TranceAddict Top 250 of that year.
Intuition Recordings has in the meantime developed into one of the key Trance & Progressive labels in the scene, and has helped Menno propel into the top of the DJ elite. The events department has organized concepts such as the Intuition Winter and Summer Festival and Intuition Invites, with high-profile guests such as Markus Schulz and Above & Beyond.
Menno’s Intuition Podcast has also created havoc in the music scene. Multiple ten thousands of listeners tune in through his website, iTunes, SlamFM, XM Radio (USA) and ETN.fm to enjoy his sublime mixing and track selection. The Podcast enjoys a firm presence in the iTunes top music podcasts and is downloaded from Trinidad to Tokyo.
Plenty of reasons for Menno to present a solo session! The location is also notable; the Westerunie on the Westergas terrain in Amsterdam is a beautiful intimate, factory-like venue that will perfectly suit this event. Don’t miss this unique chance to hear Menno’s latest studio work, the newest Intuition Recordings releases and experience an astonishing laser and light-show.
The event is currently scheduled to take place between 22:00 and 04:00, a special permit to continue until 06:00 has been requested from the authorities however. The final verdict will be announced 3 weeks in advance.
Tickets are €12,95 in presale and available via www.intuitionevents.com and www.aldaevents.com

Menno, I have 1 little question.
How old you have to be to get into there? I want to come, but I’m just 16 years old.. :P
Kind of regards,
Ricardo. :)
Hi Ricardo,
Unfortunately the venue is for 18 and up, so we cannot guarantee you can get in.
Warm regards,
Menno
hi menno!
I’m really looking forward for this solo session!!!
As time will not be a problem :) :) :), I would kindly suggest that the newest tunes would be complemented with your own older-but-excelent tunes (especially your “so serene” remix), with classics, and with even more vocal tracks ;)
keep up the excelent work!

Hi Menno,
Wat een fantastische nacht was het! Ik had m’n beste vriendin uit Griekenland laten overkomen om jou te komen zien en ze vond het ook fantastisch!
Bedankt voor deze geweldige nacht dat onderdeel was van het beste weekend dat ik ooit heb gehad!
Groetjes,
Remco

Hey Menno,
Je hebt weer een goed een “kck ass” set geleverd op je Menno Solo. Kan je me vertellen of er een DVD van die avond gereleased zal worden??????????????? Helemaal super om zo’n jonge DJ als jij op een DVD’tje te hebben, waar we allemaal vol bewondering naar kunnen kijken hoe je die heftige tunes hebt gespinned. Helemaal super! Je bent gewoon de top! Kindly reply,
Love,
Subhas
Many thanks all of you! :)
It was a lovely night, I had the time of my life behind the decks.
Videoreport will be in the podcast the next few weeks, keep an eye out for it!
Regards,
Menno :)
