Too many plans for the weekend? Let me narrow your options down by weekly suggesting the events where you can meet, dance and drink with Amsterdam’s finest crowds. After all, ‘a hangover ain’t worth the pain if the party is lame’. So here’s where you weekend warriors should go to for next Monday’s hangover.
No tickets for Awakenings this weekend? No worries.
Friday: SUPERMAX (by VAgE gASTEN) @ Melkweg
A new party concept by a bunch of creative weird guys based on wannabe criminalism. Definitely not your ordinary night out at Amsterdam’s Melkweg. Expect lots of dubstep, electro and drum & bass music. Fun fact: them ‘VAge gASTEN’ were recently arrested for using fake weapons to promote this party with the promo clip above. Ha.
Saturday: Paranoia @ Paradiso
Huge representation of Amsterdam’s finest Disk Jockeys: Egbert-Jan Weeber, De Grote Vinnie, Donnie en Sjakie Show, Atomica, Skip & Die and Beesmunt Soundsystem. Paradiso’s small room will be hosted by ‘Hitmeister Pim’s Karaoke Disco Show’. The name of the event says enough, fun for and by more of them ‘special’ people.
Saturday: Oost/Kust @ Studio /K
I’ve attended these parties before, I like them ’cause of their enormous dose of ‘gezelligheid’, plus Studio /K is my favorite place in Amsterdam to have a patio cigarette in combination with a good chat. It ain’t expensive, take it into consideration if you’re near the eastside of Amsterdam.
Saturday/Sunday: 1 Year of Nachtlab + Boris WipWap Werner’s 10 year anniversary @ Studio 80
It’s anniversary weekend at Amsterdam’s legendary Studio 80! First Nachtlab (an establishment to promote the well-being of Amsterdam’s night-culture) brings us their first year anniversary party. Featuring Applescal (LIVE), Olivier Weiter, Wesdex and Mike Ravelli amongst others, should be a good fistpumping extravaganza.
Not ready to hit the sheets big time? The day after (Sunday) our friend Boris Werner will celebrate his 10th year dj-anniversary with a spectacular 10-hour dj-set. This Amsterdam-based dj is known for his deep multiple-hour sets and his ability to fire up the crowd. As a resident dj at Studio 80 he established his name over the years and is now ready to treat his beloved crowd with a special performance. Starts at 2pm, until… hangover.

Baiser sur la disco a Oost/Kust #2
A while ago, I wrote about the first edition of Oost/Kust, a new disco/house/techno party with a fresh line-up and a backdrop of vintage visual and classy snacks. For their upcoming second edition, Oost/Kust have brought in some new DJs to keep the funk alive. All the way from Enschede comes 'De Man Tussen De Jassen', and from right here in Amsterdam, the genius behind disco banger Baiser Sur La Disco, Rubix. Together with the resident DJ's this promises to be good. People of Amsterdam, get your dance on! (..more)
Groovy disco dancing at the premiere of Oost/Kust
When I first moved to Amsterdam and started hitting the night life regularly, it felt like a whole new world opened up to me. Paradiso's Noodlanding! felt like something very special and I would live up to these nights every week. When recently re-visiting Noodlanding! because of Australian indie-disco act Cut Copy's live opening of the night, I was therefore expecting to be hit by teenage nostalgia. I left 30 minutes after Cut Copy, unimpressed by the follow up DJ's. When reflecting on this later I couldn't decide if I have developed my taste and raised my standards, or if I have just turned into a whiner. (..more)
