DJ TRAXX EHV

10/12/2024

For those who are curious how I got my DJ name DJ TRAXX, I have the answer here: BOMBARDIER (since 2021 ALSTOM) has been building a locomotive platform since 1999, which was given a name in 2003: TRAXX; locomotives platform for Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibilty. I have been a train enthusiast since I was 5 years old. Since 2012 I have also started to love the technical world, and as an electrician it can no longer be avoided for me. My surname and the old love for trains brought me to the name DJ TRAXX in September 2015 (a month after my actual DJ start). And let us also have quite a large number of TRAXX locomotives driving around in the Netherlands, often with freight trains, additionally since 2009 with the fairly exceptional Intercity compositions of 7 or 9 ICR carriages (in operation from 1980) between 2 locomotives (sandwich composition, similar to a club sandwich). Usually the IC service Eindhoven-The Hague, but also the IC Direct to Schiphol and Amsterdam CS as well as the IC service to Antwerp and Brussels. The TRAXX locomotives that are used for this purpose are BR186 TRAXX F140MS2E locomotives of the TRAXX 2E (Evolution) generation. We see them here in two guises: FYRA and NS. These locomotives are an improved version of the TRAXX2 F140MS, where the number 140 only has to do with the motor suspension, which is a nose suspension. An ordinary TRAXX F140 is allowed to drive 140km/h(87MPH), the F140MS2E, on the other hand, is allowed to drive 160km/h(99MPH), has a nominal power of 5600kW(7500HP) (4MW(5400HP) at 1.5kV DC, is in our IC service divided over two locomotives), a starting effort of 300kN/67,000LBf and, thanks to the possibility for 4 electric systems systems also in the Netherlands allowed on the HSL. That is precisely why, thanks to these NS 186 locomotives, the travel time to The Hague has already been reduced from over 2 hours to 82 minutes net to Den Haag Holland Spoor(basically in English: The Hague Holland Rail). The pictures? FYRA BR186 in the exit of the Groene Hart tunnel, FYRA BR186 in Rotterdam in 2008 as a test train, NS BR186 in Rotterdam Central Station and in Tilburg. These temporarily train compositions were driving for 15 years and are currently being replaced by new ALSTOM Coradia Stream trains (ICNG, InterCity New Generation) that have been nicknamed Wesp(Wasp) by us. For me it will be a bit of a loss, but in the end we just have to move on, moreover the ICR carriages are already quite old and for many the replacement will bring a significant improvement. I do dare to bet that due to the still relatively young age of the locomotives, they will be given a new destination without difficulty. But my DJ name will not be less beautiful. DJ TRAXX: a combination of my last name and my old love for trains; what's in a name after almost 10 years as a hobby DJ

2 BLACKLIGHTS at DJ TRAXX: 1 new in LED technology, the other improved with NEON paint. With this one the maximum number of disco lights of 16 pieces is reached, but the light shows will be improved a lot. DJ TRAXX STAYS IN THE MIX!

BLACK FRIDAY is coming up again and DJ TRAXX is not happy at all about that for environmental reasons. Luckily, the renewed Dynamic Deep London will be released on BLACK FRIDAY as the winter mix for 2024/25. That's nice listening during the BLACK WEEKEND. Most likely due to its own character, DJ TRAXX also has a relatively small number of fans, to whom thank you and I will also stay IN THE MIX for you! By the way; fans or not, DJ TRAXX STAYS IN THE MIX for everyone who likes it. Keep an eye on it: Dynamic Deep London, Friday, the 29th of November.

DJ TRAXX doesn't like this at all, but BLACK FRIDAY unfortunately falls on the day that the renewed Dynamic Deep London is being released: the 29th ofNovember. For environmental reasons, DJ TRAXX decided a few years ago to express its disapproval of BLACK FRIDAY, which will not change in 2024 either. However, it is understandable if a device is so far gone that it needs to be replaced. DJ TRAXX can way more recommend listening to the new Dynamic Deep London on BLACK FRIDAY or in the weekend. This can be done at work, on the road, at the gym, at home; it doesn't really matter! Of course you have to like it if you want to listen to it, and that's completely understandable. In any case, put it in your diary: Dynamic Deep London, Wintermix 2024 on the 29th of November because BLACK FRIDAY or not, DJ TRAXX STAYS IN THE MIX!

For those who were not able to visit the DJ set of DJ TRAXX, here is an overview video. DJ TRAXX hopes to be IN THE MIX again next year.

DJ TRAXX war 2024 auch IN THE MIX für GLOW. Diesmal mit 15 Discolichtern, einem DJ-Tisch mit Equipment und einem eigenen ANTARI Z-350 Fazer (Nebelmaschine). ...

The last night for DJ TRAXX IN THE MIX for GLOW 2024 was also the last night of GLOW itself. DJ TRAXX would like to thank the GLOW organization for another great event and also the best people at Warhammer for the excellent location. Remarkably enough, the fazer (smoke machine) turned out to be empty. Even more remarkable was my mushroom that unfortunately suffered a malfunction. That will have to be looked into. The fact that this was the last night does not mean that DJ TRAXX is quitting. The next winter mix will be released at the end of November. The next DJ set may already take place on International Women's Day, but is definitely planned for King's Day.

What a great evening it was again last night for DJ TRAXX, actually better than last Saturday now that the fazer (smoke machine) has been repaired. That fazer gives a nice effect with even the 'smoke' above the lights as can be seen. However, it turned out that the fazer was unfortunately aimed: 'smoke' even came in at our neighbours of the CD Teek, which cannot have been the intention. By turning the fazer forward and crosswise, the nuisance could be solved. This adjustment will remain in place tonight to avoid nuisance for the CD Teek as much as possible. Of course DJ TRAXX was once again IN THE MIX with the necessary pleasure! Tonight is the last evening before GLOW 2024 and therefore also for DJ TRAXX IN THE MIX FOR GLOW '24. Of course DJ TRAXX can't wait to be IN THE MIX again!

After my Antari Z-350 fazer (smoke machine) had a huge malfunction on Saturday evening, I was able to determine the cause in the valve of the hose connection a day later. It is located at the bottom of the tank, but it also turned out to be bad. As a result, the tank had to be replaced in its entirety. Today the new tank arrived, which means that my fazer is fully operational again after approx. 4 days. Next Friday and Saturday DJ TRAXX will be IN THE MIX with the fazer for another cool light show. It is precisely the fazer that brought so many extras to my light shows!

Apparently GLOW had a great first night, and so did I. Many came by and some even did a dance on the Club House that was put in the mix. The necessary positive reactions came again, thanks for that! Unfortunately there was also a major malfunction in my fazer (smoke machine). I have to look into that later. In any case, next Friday and Saturday another light show with DJ TRAXX IN THE MIX!

A little later than my last funfair, it's finally here: KIRMES REMIX BEST OF 2024 by DJ TRAXX, the last KIRMES REMIX for 2024. In 4 weeks DJ TRAXX will come with the winter mix Dynamic Deep London, but 2 weeks before that it will be GLOW 2024!

The microphone problem for DJ TRAXX has now finally been solved with an Omnitronic GNOME 202 mixer that arrived last Wednesday. I only use 1 channel, but everything can be easily adjusted and the microphone can also be used normally. All this required extra cables, and where better to store them than in a specially built case. I built that case on Friday into Saturday, and the microphone was already in my possession in the form of a dynamic microphone. The case has a total of 4 compartments for cables, the mixer, the microphone and in the future a microphone holder. The GNOME 202 enriches DJ TRAXX's live DJ sets with the additional possibility to speak into the microphone.

In about 4 weeks it will be time again with DJ TRAXX IN THE MIX FOR GLOW. DJ TRAXX is certainly looking forward to giving another beautiful light show with the DJ table, 15 self-refurbished disco lights and the ANTARI Z350 fazer (smoke machine) with those beautiful light effects. DJ TRAXX is IN THE MIX from 8 to 11 pm on the 9th, 15th and 16th of November. Come and see it all with DJ TRAXX IN THE MIX; experience it, be there!

A housekeeping announcement from DJ TRAXX EHV: DJ TRAXX's autumn mix Dynamic Deep Reggio Emilia will be released next Friday. Unfortunately, this will be the only fall mix for this year. Due to other work, DJ TRAXX will not be able to mix an extra fall mix. Those other work activities are the Dutch Design Week (21-29 October) and GLOW (9-16 November), for which a separate light show is planned for GLOW by DJ TRAXX in triplicate. The next mix after this will be a renewed Dynamic Deep London: The original Dynamic Deep London was recently renamed International Women's Mix '24 because it was made for International Women's Day. This renewed Dynamic Deep London will be released on Friday 29 November, the playlist has already been prepared, but not mentioned here: As far as DJ TRAXX is concerned, we will see that at that time. The mixing will also most likely not happen until November. DJ TRAXX hopes for understanding and hopes to welcome you at GLOW Eindhoven on 9, 15 and 16 November, because one thing is always certain: DJ TRAXX STAYS IN THE MIX!
