Gazing into the Abyss

OT301, Thursday, November 26 at 07:30 PM GMT+1

Genre: Doom, shoegaze, noise
Line up: Hidden Since the Foundation of the World, Crashing, Farer
Open: 19:30 - 01:00 hrs
Tickets: € 10

A night of doom + shoegaze + noise
Hidden Since the Foundation of the World · Crashing · Farer

The abyss is loud, and it gazes back.

A night of loud and heavy music at OT301 with bands from across the Dutch underground, each arriving from a different direction. Farer build doom out of two bass guitars, no guitar, and a voice used as a primal scream. Crashing play reverb-soaked shoegaze and alt-rock in the spirit of Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine. Hidden Since the Foundation of the World sit in between: electric violin, fuzz and feedback, somewhere between early Sabbath and spaced-out noise, inside a wall of fog.

Slow where it needs to be, loud throughout. Three bands from 20:00, finished by 23:00. Entry €10.

Bring earplugs.
Artists

Hidden Since the Foundation of the World
Neo-psychedelic doom — Amsterdam, NL
Hidden Since the Foundation of the World began, fittingly, at an academic panel on exorcism, where founding members Blev Lavoux (vocals, violin) and Joel Bordeaux (guitar, electronics) first met. By 2025 the two Americans had added a Dutch rhythm section — Ivar van der Heijden (bass) and Kareem de Vries (drums) — in Amsterdam, and built something that refuses to sit still inside doom: electric violin, fuzz and feedback pulled from early Sabbath out to spaced-out noise, funeral doom and sludge, melody and post-punk restlessness riding on top. Live, synced films and samples dissolve into unpredictable, improvisational transitions inside a wall of fog.

Crashing
Inspired by shoegaze and alt-rock giants like Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine, Crashing indulges in noisy reverberated hooks, intense live performances and raw unfiltered volume with a strong emphasis on DIY culture. Be prepared for immersive noise and hard hitting tracks crafted not only to be heard, but to be physically felt. Crank up the gain. Nail the kick drum to the floor. Bring earplugs.

Farer
Dutch doom/noise trio Farer create an imposing discord of severe, caustic bass textures, harrowing vocals and winding drums. The band, featuring members of Ortega, was originally founded as MENHIR in 2013, but chose Farer as their new moniker mid 2019, after spending two and a half years of writing and recording their debut record Monad. By taking time to further explore the possibilities of being a band with two bass players and the absence of a guitar, the record exhibits the bands evolution into a new entity thoroughly. Meaning, carefully crafted, drawn-out, oppressive and compelling songs.
With their debut, Farer made a committed and captivating testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers you can hear the voice as a primal scream – the shock of being. The dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. An agonising story of something or somebody coming in contact with the singularity Monad and thus creating an incomprehensible cycle of violent creation and destruction. Out of nothing, nothing becomes.

AADE: Anderworld zine launch

OT301, Friday, October 23 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

Genre: Zine launch, expo
Open: 20:00 - 22:00 hrs
Tickets: € Free

Join us in the Ventilator cinema for the launch of our first printed Anderworld zine.

Anderworld is a post-capitalist, cooperative record label that launched in June 2026. This zine is our first publication, intended to tell you a bit more about our grand plans to change the music industry, and the rest of the universe.
Anderworld is the beginning of a new chapter. The birth of a project centered on redistributing ownership, value, and control among artists and those involved. Being cooperative also means engagement, shared responsibility, and collaboration - which is why our label focuses on Amsterdam. Not because we think Amsterdam is better than other cities, but because we value encounter, deliberation, and cooperation.
The label and this zine are part of Amsterdam Alternative (AA) and builds on decades of experience with free spaces, collective ownership, and (sub)cultural venues. Together, we are working on a non-commercial, organic, and above all inspiring empire. A serious endeavor, but at the same time an experiment with room for chaos, friction, chance, humor, and inexplicable absurdities.
In the Ventilator bar we will be hosting a special exhibition from our friends of Tempio Del Futura Perduto (Milan)
Expo: Italo Ghetto - by Shyla N
Shyla N is a photographer focused on street cultures as street art and vandalism with numerous active international publications. The photos we selected come from different periods and were all conceived to tell the story of "the new Italian ghetto": abandoned spaces and life cycles in a decadent but at the same time wonderful mediterranean land.

Imagine Film Festival: You Are The Film

LAB111, Friday, November 6 at 09:40 PM GMT+1

IMAGINE FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL 2026

Imagine is the largest film festival for Fantastic film in the Netherlands, showcasing the best in fantasy, horror, sci-fi and everything in between. Imagine is all about the imagination. We believe dreaming big is best, because Weird Is Wonderful.

Besides the latest genre films, restored classics and shorts, Imagine 2026 will focus on magical realism in Latin American cinema and on the films of this year’s Guest of Honour, Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. A large chunk of the programme is also reserved for 2026’s main theme, Ghost in the Feed, which focuses on the anxieties and desires that arise with each new form of media technology. The programme examines five ‘Frequencies of Fear’ from the past century: the start of TV, the VHS era, the early internet years, the onstant online feed and our current immersive times. Dive into the feed with us through films, talks, a VHS-basement, an extensive immersive programme in de Filmhallen and more.

Ghost in the Feed also creates conversations between generations: the Gen X cinephile who remembers the tactile dread of a mysteriously unlabeled VHS tape; the Millennial who experienced the internet transform from utopian playground to corporate panopticon; the Gen Z viewer navigating horror through deepfakes and disappeared stories. Each generation believes their relationship to technology is unique, but we’re all possessed by the same ghosts, transmitted through different machines.

Imagine is the largest film festival for Fantastic film in the Netherlands, showcasing the best in fantasy, horror, sci-fi and everything in between. Imagine is all about the imagination. We believe dreaming big is best, because Weird Is Wonderful.

Besides the latest genre films, restored classics and shorts, Imagine 2026 will focus on magical realism in Latin American cinema and on the films of this year’s Guest of Honour, Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. A large chunk of the programme is also reserved for 2026’s main theme, Ghost in the Feed, which focuses on the anxieties and desires that arise with each new form of media technology. The programme examines five ‘Frequencies of Fear’ from the past century: the start of TV, the VHS era, the early internet years, the onstant online feed and our current immersive times. Dive into the feed with us through films, talks, a VHS-basement, an extensive immersive programme in de Filmhallen and more.

Ghost in the Feed also creates conversations between generations: the Gen X cinephile who remembers the tactile dread of a mysteriously unlabeled VHS tape; the Millennial who experienced the internet transform from utopian playground to corporate panopticon; the Gen Z viewer navigating horror through deepfakes and disappeared stories. Each generation believes their relationship to technology is unique, but we’re all possessed by the same ghosts, transmitted through different machines.

Witte Gei’t? met Bity Booker, Second Hand Sunset & The Earwurms

De Nieuwe Anita, Tuesday, November 3 at 08:30 PM GMT+1

Witte Geit: A peaceful Mind...!?

Elke dinsdag korte akoestische acts op ons kleine podium! Vanaf zes uur kan er gegeten worden bij Robin Food. Entree is gratis maar een donatie voor de spelende artiesten wordt gewaardeerd! — Every Tuesday, short acoustic acts on our small stage. Tonight, restaurant Robin Food is open from 6. Entry is free but a donation for preforming artists is appreciated!

Bity Booker
Bity Booker is an Italian/Australian psych-folk singer songwriter and illustrator based in London. Her music and illustrations have a strong connection with the natural world and animals.
Bity grew up in an artistic family in the countryside in Umbria, she graduated from Art School in Italy and lived between Italy, Australia and England. In her teens she sang in a number of metal bands, alongside writing her own original material with classical guitar and voice. Over the years she released a number of EPs, one album, and two illustrated song books, ‘The Mouse Song’ and ‘Parrots in London’.

Second Hand Sunset
Second Hand Sunset is the singer-songwriter duo of Nipun Vashishta and Sauvik Bhattacharya. Formed in a tiny corner of Amsterdam on a secret Sunday, it brings together Nipun’s Indian classical singing and Sauvik’s jazz guitar playing into an envelope of dark, folk-inspired acoustic atmosphere. Meeting over influences such as Damien Rice, Iron & Wine and Ben Howard, Second Hand Sunset sings about hidden loves, lost homelands, growing up pains and identity.

The Earwurms
Conceptual punk band The Earwurms wiggle their way into your ears with savory words and a shebang of sound. Born within the Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam, they made their way into the Dutch DIY and activist stages, while over the years their identity expanded beyond music to encompass stage outfits and various visual elements. Drawing from no wave, riot girrrl, punk, math rock and art rock, their music explores the joy and understanding found in the banal.

Girls to the Front

De Nieuwe Anita, Friday, November 13 at 09:00 PM GMT+1

Doors: 20.00. Tickets: 6-12,-

Line-up TBA

Girls to the Front is an Utrecht based initiative which focuses on the Dutch based FLINTA representation within the punk music industry. It started as an event on the 8th of march in dB’s by Bibi Fay Bannink, an 18 year old feminist punk fan with a plan. Which grew out to a compilation vinyl with 14 FLINTA fronted punk bands, called Girls to the Front. Which was released on the 8th of march 2025 in EKKO, and was followed by a tour throughout the Netherlands. Including Paradiso, VERA Groningen, Rotown, Wilde Weide and Down the Rabbit Hole Dj-set. 2026 will bring another compilation vinyl, another tour and a continued fight.

Girls to the Front doesn’t only celebrate the various ‘punk’ sounds created by FLINTA people that are alive and loud in the country, but also wants to dive in the intersectional struggles and inspirations people experience through the making of zines or through organizing more interdisciplinary events with poetry, film talks and panels.

Jazzcafé!

Zaal 100, Tuesday, October 13 at 09:00 PM GMT+2

Elke dinsdag:

Jazzcafé!

Ab Baars - tenorsax, shakuhachi en klarinet | Joost Buis - trombone | Tessa de Swart - gedichten en live schilderen

Vanavond zoals altijd weer een prachtig programma:
Ab Baars - tenorsax, shakuhachi en klarinet
Joost Buis - trombone
Tessa de Swart - gedichten en live schilderen

Tevens opening nieuwe expositie Tessa de Swart!

NO PIN / CASH ONLY

Het “Jazzcafé”, de dinsdagavond improvisatiereeks in Zaal 100, presenteert muziek die ter plekke voor een publiek ontstaat en vorm krijgt. Dat dat eens mislukt maakt het juist spannend voor alle aanwezigen.

De musici ervaren de aanwezigheid van publiek als een enorme stimulans om hun vaardigheden fijn te slijpen. We hebben elkaar nodig.

Elke derde dinsdag (dat kan ook wel eens een vierde of zelfs een tweede dinsdag zijn. Let op de aankondigingen!) wordt het onderzoek naar het werk van Duke Ellington verder voortgezet onder de titel All Ellington.

Zoals het al jaren gaat wordt er tot op het laatste moment aan programma’s geschaafd. Via Podiumpost en de Zaal 100 website blijven we u op de hoogte houden.

Nog steeds geldt dat uit de gevraagde entreegelden de zaalhuur, de parkeergelden en soms eens een taxirit bekostigd worden. Als er na aftrek van deze kosten nog wat overblijft kan dat geld verdeeld worden onder de muzikanten. Als dat geld niet geclaimed wordt gaat het in het solidariteits'potje’. Uit het 'potje' worden de zaalhuur en de overige kosten betaald voor concerten waar te weinig inkomsten op binnenkomen.

We hopen dat u in grote getale op dinsdagavonden de magische momenten van het ontstaan en ontwikkelen van muziek, de kern van improvisatie, komt meemaken.

Vergeet niet vrienden en kennissen mee te nemen!

Wie spelen er zoal? Uiteraard is deze lijst niet uitputtend!!!!

We are a community based event, driven by a passion and connection to Bass Freak-wincy and Breakbeat Culture. MASSIEF strives to provide a platform for Artists, Deejays and Creatives to explore their sound and make their own contribution to Breakbeat and Underground Bass Music culture. Over the past couple of years, our concept has been hosted on Echobox.radio and a string of venues around Amsterdam, most notably; Noordspace, De Hintergarten, Bar Dancing Multipla, and OT301, where MASSIEF has showcased a range of local and international artists who encompass Bass and Breakbeat Culture in their own unique way.

Featuring:

Tamen (IE/AU)
Irish DJ and producer Tamen (Naarm/Melbourne) headlines MASSIEF, bringing a dynamic selection that has seen him shell dancefloors from Berlin to London, major European festivals like Outlook and Sun & Bass, and Keep Hush in Eora/Sydney. Known for his lethal, high-energy DJ sets and razor-sharp sound design, Tamen has built an impressive catalog alongside long-time collaborator Pugilist and POD, putting out releases on top-tier imprints including Samurai Music, Rupture, 3024, Trule, Dext, Repertoire, Straight Up Breakbeat, Echo Chamber, Basics, and Ruff Kutz. With heavyweight support from the likes of Mantra, Om Unit, and Tim Reaper—and a string of upcoming vinyl releases on Modern Hypnosis, Ruff Kutz, and Samurai—expect an uncompromising journey through sub-heavy breaks, jungle, and unreleased dubs. Watch ya bass bins!
