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.

New name, same concept. 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.

Saturday: Reaktor @ Amsterdam Studio’s

Time for a disorienting musical trip through the far corners of advanced neurotic techno this Saturday. I’ve been listening to electronic music forever but it’s only since a couple of years that I’ve been appreciating darker techno more and more. I know now that Markus Suckut, Abdulla Rashim, Tobias. and Kosibil among others equal quality. See you there?

Saturday: Voyage Direct First Mission @ Radion

I’ve been losing a lot of weight lately because Radion is so damn far away. When you book artists such as Etapp Kyle, Prins Thomas and Ivan Smagghe you leave me no other choice but to cycle the distance. This Saturday Tom Trago’s Voyage Direct is taking over which means I have to go there, again. Awanto3, Dexter, Elias Mazian, Overlast and Tom himself are playing. Time to discover his hidden heart of gold.

Saturday: Carpe Noctem @ Ruigoord

Carpe Noctem means seize the night. That’s a slogan I can relate to people. And that line-up, damn. Alex Niggemann, Trouw star Patrice Baumel, Chymera, Kevin Duane and Unisol are playing. The fact that this is all happening in Ruigoord makes it even better. Freedom is the vibe and there’s just something about partying in a church.

Check out Being Boiled in the lovely Studio 80 and The Gaslamp Killer during KLEAR in De Marktkantine as well of you’re looking for a party on Friday!
