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: Krooks by night @ a secret location

I had a nice chat a while back with Aron Friedman and Eric de Man about their new project Spaceandtime. This Friday it’s time for the release party of their first EP on Satori’s new label Krooks. You can have a listen to one of the tracks that are on there below. I’ve already heard the other tracks as well and I can tell you they’re as good as this one. And there’s just something about a party with a secret location. Mystery here I come! See you there?

Friday: Tender Hooks @ Studio 80

I saw DJ Sprinkles play at Outsiders Festival this summer and I got blown away. Please do yourself a favor and get blown away as well in Studio 80 on Friday. Aanrdvarck, who just released a massive remix for Nick Höppner on Ostgut Ton, is on the bill as well. Kennedy, T.Wiltshire and Mean Feat will perform too, providing you with a pretty epic opportunity to dance the night away.

Sunday: Sandrien & Carlos Valdes All Day Long @ Woodstock

I have no words for the vibe Sandrien and Carlos Valdes provided during their set at Nachtdigital this year. Seriously, have a listen. That this duo sets dance floors on fire is not a secret anymore. Their party Is Burning is one of my favorites around. The fact that they’re performing a long set at my favourite beach club makes me want today to be Sunday already. Yes, I can be impatient when I’m excited. Enjoy the hangover.
