About the author

Being driven by music from a young age made me realize how lucky I am to be situated in Amsterdam and its ever growing scene of artists, events and, of course, music enthusiasts. With a focus on the feel of House, Techno and all in between, sharing my love for music in any way possible acts as a fine expressive outlet.

Too many plans for the weekend? Let me narrow down your options down 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 make it worth your damn hangover.

Friday: YIELD x Native Response @ Cinetol

This massive weekend starts with a collaboration between local labels YIELD and Native Response. Both will bring in closely selected acts to contribute to the already warm and cozy space at Cinetol, where a combination of sweltering house and techno will fit in nicely for sure. And with the spot’s capacity only sitting around a 100 people, the event is bound to be memorable. Music will be taken care of by Human Space Machine, queniv, Mateis e. aqir and Kaap.

Saturday: Vault Sessions III @ Warehouse Elementenstraat

After Dhoem Dhaam and H7, Vault Sessions returns to the big room setting yet again. Their debut at Warehouse Elementenstraat clearly asked for an extensive line-up, and they came up with an extraordinary one. The two characteristic rooms will be filled with high quality acts all night long and with coining names like Head Front Panel, Tommy Four Seven and Regis, the level of intensity to be experienced in both of them is obvious. Vault Sessions always takes great care over its productions and has been maturing within the city from their first event on. With a recent announcement of hosting a stage at Amsterdam Open this summer, the way the organisation flourishes is strongly confirmed.

Het Weekend @ De School

To top it off, De School’s weekender returns in a big way, and after a month of renovation it will likely be the first occasion for many to see how the infamous basement turned out. As usual, an array of musical styles can be heard from Saturday evening till Monday morning. Where the strong Dekmantel part of the lineup consists of Casper Tielrooij, Thomas Martojo and Juju & Jordash, Hamburg’s Golden Pudel affiliated Phuong-Dan and Helena Hauff are present as well. A special mention goes out to Identified Patient’s School debut, which might just become the weekend’s highlight…
