Max Cooper, I can’t elaborate enough about this UK based scientist and producer. I’ve been a pretty big fan for the last three years, especially after seeing him perform last year at the Sugar Factory and the Systematic Recordings ADE showcase at the Chicago Social Club. He was the living proof that two very diverse lifestyles can be effortlessly combined live on the dance-floor. Nowadays, he’s worked his way up to become a full-time electronica artist, DJ and live performer. (..more)

If someone is half Spanish and half Dutch, he most likely won that certain kind of party gene by default. That’s probably the reason why Daniel Sanchez (27), DJ and founder of BlaBla Records was already setting up his first big parties at the age of 15. From Thursday until Saturday, he is celebrating the 5th anniversary of BlaBla in Studio 80.

We’ve seen revolutions worldwide, people getting into the streets to fight for their rights. In the Western world, it sometimes seems that we really have nothing left to fight for. It all seems downgraded to questions on finance, the state of the economy and your hard-earned pensions. But what about artists? In Holland, the political climate is now tending towards spending on jet fighters and cutting back on culture. (..more)
There’s a thin line between art, design, and fashion. Take the obvious example of Alexander McQueen, I honestly don’t know whether to look at his work as fashion or art.

Just another Sunday afternoon: waking up from a hangover, eating a clubsandwich, smoking a cigarette, taking a stroll through the park, updating my social media, looking for some new music, smoking another cigarette and.. checking out a dodgeball tournament followed by an all-star afterparty at Undercurrent.

To watch or not to watch? I will tour around Amsterdam’s cinemas and answer this crucial question every Friday. Without mercy, of course. Sucky movies will be slaughtered, cinematographic pearls will be appreciated as such. Or the other way around. After all, good taste is in the eye of the beholder. (..more)
