We very much enjoyed the DJ set by Kode 9 with the Spaceape on the microphone in the Trouw last month. (you can read about it here.) These guys are back again this month playing in the Bimhuis. This time they will be doing a live set so it should be quite [...]
Holy Fuck are an indie dance/electronica band from Toronto Canada and with a name like that you would expect an act who are lots of fun. With two drummers and a bass player the band plays electronica without the use of backing tracks, sequences etc. This is by no means an original format, as bands [...]

They are on Hyperdub records, who also brought us Burial. Hyperdub was named dubstep label of the year [...]
It was a wet Thursday night and the train sped through the darkness between Amsterdam and Utrecht. Outside the window was a void. It was like one of those 80’s horror films where everything between the cities had been replaced by a viscous blackness inter spaced with a long lonely canal and a huddle of [...]
