'Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die.

Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa.

Welcome to Eruope, stay here until I die.

Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa.'

Joost sung into the microphone with the headphones over his ears. As the piano melody played through the soundboard, Teun watched the screen's columns rise and fall with Joost's voice.

The producer sat with Daan behind him and Hanna listened from the kitchen. She was making dinner for everyone, which had been a common thing since resigning from her position with OLVG. She had more time on her hands and had found a knack for cooking.

The studio set up in the living space was filled with members of the team. Stuntje and Apson leaned against the back of the sofa while Fenne sat at the kitchen counter. Her laptop showed the unedited music video that had been sent through from MCR-T's production team.

The German DJ had wanted to collaborate with Joost and had filmed the music video in the dirtiest of locations. Fenne was glad that it was MCR-T's team that had the filming credits, because if she had to stand in a public bathroom with the three men, then she would have needed to shower for hours afterwards.

'Turn on the radio, I hear

Stormae with "Papaoutai"

Won't stop until they say,

"Yes, yes, he does that very well, ayy.'

Fenne listened to Joost's rap while clicking on her emails. She needed to find a link that Teun had sent her for the Buurman Uit Berlijn music video when she caught sight of an unread communication. Highlighted at the top of her page, Fenne's eyebrows rose at the sender.

Spiritland Productions.

Good afternoon, Fenne Meer.

Your work has recently been brought to our attention. Joost Klein's music videos' Wachtmuziek and Frisenjung use videography and filming techniques that we, at Spiritland Productions, aim to show in our work. We were then shown your work at the European festivals Pukkelpop, Pinkpop and Lowlands, and were further impressed with your commitment to filming.

We would like to extend a formal offer to you to work with us for Glastonbury 2024. We can guarantee that the pay would be more than substantial and the exposure from the festival will be unlike any you've experienced.

We hope that you consider this proposal and we're looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Joesph King,
Head Videographer at
Spiritland Productions.

Fenne could barely conceal the urge to leap out of her chair. Her fingers shook as they hovered over her keyboard and the editing software for Buurman Uit Berlijn was forgotten in another tab. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears and she forgot how to breathe normally. Europapa's beat dulled along with the general chatter of the team behind her.

She looked over the top of her screen to Hanna, who had been looking at Apson over the top of her head. The knife had stilled in her hand and Fenne glanced down at it subconsciously, catching Hanna's attention.

'What's up?' Hanna asked and Fenne swallowed dryly.

'Hanna... I'm going to shit myself.'

'Jesus Christ-'
