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: Soundmachine @ Closure

Friday is the day you want to be in Closure, trust me. Just listen to this EP from Palms Trax, which is the first ever release on my favorite label Lobster Theremin. I know what you’re thinking: ‘You’re right Chloë, I do have to be in Closure on Friday because Palms Trax is playing’. Told you so. Baba Stiltz and Beesmunt Soundsystem are on the bill as well, even more reason to go.

Saturday: Some Chemistry toda la noche @ Canvas

On Saturday local rockstar Some Chemistry is celebrating his birthday. Africa taught him rhythm, Latin-America showed him melody and ultimately Amsterdam brought him into the world of never-ending bleeps. Expect afro-latin, disco, indie-pop and cosmic dimensions of house and techno. Not to forget, chemistry is all about the interaction of substances and people, so there will be shots. Coincidentally, at midnight, it’s Valentine’s Day. Whether you hate or love this day, it’s cool to make love on the dance floor.

Saturday: Slowmotion Club @ Radion

Time for slow and sexy music, Fusion style. Those who’s been to Fusion know, those who haven’t are in for something completely different that you can’t really find anywhere else in town. Slowmotion Club has invited Laut & Luise to play. The spirit of Laut & Luise is much broader than a specific definition of house or techno music can grasp. Go experience for yourself in Radion this Saturday!
