About the author

I’ve been a music hoarder all my life and it was I who coined the phrase: ‘Every genre has something to offer’ (patent pending). My main infatuations are House, Disco, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop and every subgenre in between. As long as the tunes spark up a euphoric feeling. Writing about Music expresses my passion for the art.

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’.

Friday: Tornado Wallace & more @ Claire

Tornado Wallace returns to Claire this Friday. The Australian dance new-schooler brings his sound from down under to the upper hemisphere. Acid, breakbeat, afro-induced, new-wave; Wallace plays it all. Alongside Telephones and from Dutch soil Max Abysmal, Bufiman & Yòp, Claire 1 will be packed with contemporary electronic cuts. Claire 2 is hosted by Filament, who’ll bring Italo disco to the (turn)table. And if you’re in for some food and a place to cool off, head down to Claire 3, where my own new project Soul Searchers will be serving you organic music from across the globe.

Saturday: Skee Mask & more @ Shelter

Skee Mask and Shelter seem like the perfect match for a night of roughly-edged beats and straightforward techno. His Ilian Tape release Shred is one to give a listen. Make sure to check out Shred 08! Ilian Tape founders Zenker Brothers and label mate Skee Mask complement each other’s sound more than perfectly, so it seems like a no brainer to put them both on the bill.
