开始时大家都觉得在球场举行party是不行的,但当第一场 “Sensation”音乐派对的票统统卖光时,他们创造了球场上另一种震撼人心的欢腾——大型白色舞台、机械巨臂、蹦极跳表演,还有长毛怪人、中国舞龙游走于穿着各式白色服装的人海中,接踵并肩的白色人潮随着音乐和烟火涌动。
动辄几百万的启动资金,this could MAKE or BREAK him!然而他,就是喜欢这样的挑战:“生命中有很多个第一次,第一次的感觉是最好的。”凭着对电子音乐的热忱,他让自己不断迎接新的冲击的同时,让许多欧洲青年体验着人生中的第一次白色狂欢。

Duncan: I didn’t start it because of the love of the music for ourselves. We were at that age of 20 and we wanted to give a small party, so we did for 500 people, and we really enjoyed it, and so, OK, let’s do another one.
The first party they held made them €1,000. A year later, their “Final Exam” party made them 50,000, and from then the parties and their income just got bigger and bigger and bigger.
Duncan: The first time in Holland we did “Sensation,” we lost about 700,000. We know now if you want to do something new, the first time it will cost money, a lot of money.
Duncan’s skill has been to convert what he loves doing into a hugely profitable business.
Duncan: We grew until we had, from hobby to profession. I never thought, of course, you could combine your hobby with your work. It’s always a good thing to do. It feels real natural and feels like fun.
Being successful to me means to be creative, to be different, to do things everybody sees but nobody does. For us it’s very exciting to…to really…to look at the people and, are they having a good time? It’s for me very important that people go out and say “Wow!”
The dance music craze has been going for over a decade. But by constantly pushing the 8)boundaries, Duncan is keeping it 9)alive and kicking.
邓肯·斯塔特汗,34岁,他的生意额一年超过3500万欧元,他是欧洲最大型派对的创办人。
邓肯:只管去做,若出错了,重新再来。
这是“震撼”音乐派对,全舞台,震撼不只是一场派对,而是一件独特的盛事。这个音乐会于荷兰大型球场举行。五万人每人付60欧元,来听顶尖的唱片骑师在10小时里不间断地热播跳舞音乐。除了音乐,当晚还包括一系列精彩的节目、激光表演以及烟花表演。所有疯狂的参与者都必须穿上黑或白色衣服。举办派对需要花上数百万欧元,邓肯喜欢冒险来办派对。
他于1991年投资数百万欧元成立ID&T公司,那时他跟朋友计划举行仓库派对。
邓肯:我们不是仅仅因为自己喜欢音乐而办派对。那时我们20岁,想办一个小型派对,因此办了个500人的派对。结果我们乐在其中,于是再搞了一个。
第一个派对帮他们赚了一千欧元,一年后,他们的“年终考”派对赚了五万。此后,他们的派对办得越来越大,收入也越来越高。
邓肯:在荷兰举行第一次“震撼”音乐派对时,我们亏损了70万。现在我们知道,要作出新尝试时,第一次需要花钱,花很多钱。
邓肯有能力将自己的爱好变成一项赚钱的庞大事业。
邓肯:我们不断壮大直到真正做到了——把兴趣变成了专业。我之前从来没有想过,可以将兴趣与工作合二为一。能做到这样,当然好。感觉很自然,很好玩。
成功,对我来说就是要有创意,独一无二,做一些人人都明白但没人敢做的事情。看到这么多人,我们会觉得很兴奋,会想,他们玩得开心吗?令人们感到兴奋并发出惊叹,对我来说是很重要的。
跳舞音乐热潮已经持续了超过十年,不过凭着不断创新,邓肯使跳舞音乐不断焕发生机。

Throw a Black and White Theme Party at Home!
Decorations
While it may be difficult to transform a room into all black and white, you can find ways to come close! You can use some black and white sheets and blankets for table coverings and, if you have enough, as wall hangings to set off part of the room.
Black and white balloons and crepe paper[绉纸] are inexpensive ways to add a festive flair[特别的风格]. Consider making fake flowers out of tissue paper. Simply gather the paper in the center and secure with some black or white threads, and you’ll soon have a bouquet[花束].
Silver is traditionally allowed at the black and white party. You can create your own accents out of silver paper, including stars and the moon to hang from the ceiling and spread around the floor and on the tables.
Gifts
Lighten up the party with black and white retro[怀旧] sunglasses given to each guest as they arrive.
Attire and Foods
Invitations will obviously be black and white as well. For a fun twist[新花样], consider using black invitations and write on them with silver and white gel pens. Make sure your guests understand that they are only allowed to wear black and white and bring black and white food.Tips for food: Oreos[奥利奥奶油夹心巧克力饼干], black beans, white cheese cake, pastas...and experiment!
This type of party can be great fun for everyone involved.
