The Hague, 1 October 2014 – The Netherlands has been a global leader in electronic dance music for many years. Reason enough for PostNL to display five Dutch dance heroes on its stamps.
Top Dutch Djs Receive Their Own Stamps
Amsterdam, 15 October 2014 - Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Afrojack and Dash Berlin were honoured with their own stamps on the opening day of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). Four of them were handed their own stamps by Herna Verhagen, CEO of PostNL. Tiësto was also immortalised on the unique DJ stamps, but was unable to attend at that moment.
The stamps were handed to the DJs at the ADE X Samsung Home on Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam, where radio presenter Giel Beelen (3FM) did the presentation. Beelen explained how the Netherlands is leading in electronic dance music and the major role the five DJs have had in that success. During the Amsterdam Dance Event, the Netherlands is yet again the global centre of dance culture, a fact underlined by Herna Verhagen as well: “It is with good reason that dance is called one of our main export products.”
With the issuing of these special stamps, PostNL pays homage to five famous Dutch DJs, who have made a name for themselves across the globe.
