About the author

Born and raised in Amsterdam, lives to dance and dances to live on electronic music, has a small vinyl addiction, appreciates a little sarcasm now and then, thinks musicals are annoying and loves those moments where you lose track of time completely.

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.

Friday: DIMITRI & JEAN PIERRE ENFANT @ Trouw

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love it when an artist gets an entire night to play his or her set. It can be a really special experience to be there from the beginning till the end. To see how an artist builds up, continues their musical journey, has the time to experiment and surprise you and finally takes you to the big finale is almost magical. When you have the chance to let legendary Dimitri and/or Jean Pierre Enfant take you on a journey like that you just can’t say no. See you Friday.

Saturday, Sunday: Gaasper Pleasure @ Gaasperplas

Gaasper Pleasure Festival has a proper line-up this year. Sandrien, Job Jobse, Satori, Prunk and Elias Mazian are just a few examples. There’s one stage though, that I must tell you about, that will surprise you and make it impossible for you to leave it because you can’t stop dancing. My favourite party Horizion will host a stage on Sunday. Horizon will bring you into contact with amazing artists that don’ t get booked in the Netherlands a lot yet which makes it the perfect stage to discover new music. If you don’t know Fairmont, Château Flight, Jennifer Cardini, nd_Baumecker, Nuno Dos Santos, Patrice Bäumel, Weval and Reza Athar yet, you will love them after hearing them play. Trust me.
