Marco Hellewegen x Marticos Hell
As a youngster Marco always had an interest in electronic music. Names like Secret Cinema, Joey Beltram and DJ Rush were giving him a sensation he never felt. Around the age of 13 he wanted to spin some records himself and create magic behind, what used to be, the wheels of steel. This interest became so big that he would literally stand inside the dj booth at local club Bassline to find out what it's all about. Not much later, he and his mate Damy, also known as D.M.Y, bought their first pioneers. At the same time Marco's taste developed, as he listens to names like DJ Rush, Oliver Kucera, Dax J, Ben Sims and Stranger.
In 2012, Marco's talent has been noticed, which resulted in several bookings including Strobe, Boothstock Festival, Toffler Festival and HEY!. He shared the stage with artist like Michel de Hey, Dave Clarke, DJ Rush, ROD and Slam.
Checkout his latest sets and not only hear, but feel his funky and massive sound.
With a fresh organisation Scherpe Randjes, Marco's throwing small intimate techno parties with all the talented guys out there.

Let’s look into the cruise ships schedule portion for this week.
Our topic for discussion is the weather that took place down the island on this week. The weather over there is mostly not a topic of interest because it’s consistently good. However, this week, they experienced weather that was out of the ordinary. We weren’t there to personally experience it, but thanks to modern technology, we were able to see how tropical depression Kirk affected the island. It’s not as devastating as other hurricanes, however for a couple of days it affected the people’s ability to enjoy their vacations and also did quite a bit of damage on some properties. If there’s anything at all that you would like to suggest for the show or simply want to relay feedback, please do send me an email at curt@onehappypodcast.com or drop a voice message on our hotline number (302) 635-0815.

Today on One Happy Podcast we are being joined by a special guest, Tiffany Howard, who appeared on an episode of HGTV Caribbean Life titled "Exploring New Terrain on Aruba" which originally aired Sunday, September 2nd at 9pm. If you weren’t able to watch it, you can check out your local listings for a replay. Tiffany and her family were featured on their search for a house in Aruba.
Listen to Tiffany’s story of how she and her husband discovered the island and how they came to the decision of purchasing an Aruban home. It’s definitely a journey full of twists and turns.
Their family’s fully-refurbished Aruban home which was completed last September 2017 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a small pool, a couple of grills at the backyard, and is 10 minutes away from the nearest beach all encased in a beautiful house painted in Caribbean blue. They’ve had it available for people who want to rent it out as well.
Buying a home in Aruba definitely took some time, Tiffany says. It's not a quick process at all and it's very similar to the process of buying a house in the USA but with the added stress of being in another country. But everything turned alright in the end with some hard work and with the help of Tiffany’s team in Aruba. They have great communication. Every home that they keep is immaculate, clean, and consistent with amazing housekeeping and management. They really want to make their clients feel like the experience of living in Aruba even at least for a short while. Head on over to MyArubaDreamVilla.com for more information.
Lastly, Tiffany gives advice for those who are keen on seeking out a house in Aruba: be patient and find a good team to support you. There is a lot of work to be done but there are also people who can help you navigate those waters so don't be afraid.
