This Saturday, 19 September, Rotterdam will celebrate summer one last time when Rotown hosts the \u201cWhat if life was an R&B clip?\u201d party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And? That means we\u2019ll be standing in front of a mirror for hours deciding on our best outfit and moving all night to the sound of R&B like Nelly\u2019s \u201cHot in Here\u201d. And this time, it will all come with a tropical flavour. In the words of organiser Chris: \u201cThe party will be \u2018Peter Andr\u00e9-esque\u2019 with palm leaf mats, flower wreaths and plenty of summer music. Last month in Utrecht, we played Peter Andr\u00e9\u2019s \u2018Mysterious Girl\u2019 every hour and the one who danced best to the song got a Bacardi Breezer Island Pineapple on the house. You\u2019d think that people would get bored of the whole thing after a couple of hours, but they never seem to get enough of Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dress code for the party is therefore tropical in the sense of bikinis, flower wreaths, Hawaii shirts and long board shorts. \u201cIt\u2019s a hip hop party with humour. Serious hip hop fans sometimes come to our parties expecting Drake\u2019s music. They find themselves among leopard pyjamas and members of TLC. It makes the first minutes awkward, <\/em>but ultimately everyone just goes with the flow and has a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n

For techno lovers, Dave Clark will be at Toffler<\/a> on Friday, 18 September. On Friday, Bird will be home to the Afrobeats of Philou Louzolo<\/a>, and works by the famous artist Keith Haring will be on display<\/a> in \u2018The Political Line\u2019 exhibition at Rotterdam\u2019s Kunsthal.<\/p>\n\n\t
