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 make it worth your damn hangover.
Saturday: The Tribe with Mara Trax, Tom Liem & Jocelyn @ Shelter
After two fantastic editions, The Tribe’s third Shelter effort is at the ready to serve two very characteristic performances by two particular duo’s. Mara Trax consists of both Maayan Nidam and Vera. Both heavily affiliated with the pioneering Perlon label, nowadays the two only join forces from time to time resulting in unique prolonged sets of minimalistic yet sophisticated electronics. The other duo is a rocksteady combination of individuals with a bit of a longer history with the Tribe family. After a super slick DJ set at the Tribe’s Herfstdrift festival stage just a couple of weeks ago, they’ll now be debuting their crisp hybrid live performance. Expect a fresh take on the deep and dubby in its most vivid form. Another crucial part of Tribemen will be curating the afterhours just a short bikeride away.
Saturday: Alessandro Adriani, Pasiphae & Jasmín @ noorderling
An alternate route for your Saturday night is provided by noorderling. The ship-turned-club’s continuous endeavors in keeping balance between leading international acts and celebrated local talent is shaping its identity carefully and this night is a perfect example of it. The first guest is Mannequin Records founder Alessandro Adriani. Born in Rome but reigning from Berlin, Adriani has been pushing a distinct strand of wave, electro and industrial for years and is viewed as one of the most influential figures in this niche of sound and its coherent culture. Pasiphae and Jasmín are aboard as well and occupy the other times lots to deliver more of this sneering form of groove that’s been getting its deserved portion of interest in the Dam for some time now.
