The music is fully arranged by Codam students / staff. It will consists of DJ’s and one band. Students at Codam come from various different backgrounds and nationalities however we share our interest in technology and community, this is also seen in the music. The music will start with pop, rock, jazz, reggae in the beginning. Folowed by house, disco, electro-pop, reggaeton, funk in the middle. The band will transition the music to higher bpm ranges with laptop punk (Rock, Drum and Bass, Industrial, Breakbeat, Breakcore, Digital Hardcore).

ROOTED

Toekomstmuziek, Friday, December 4 at 07:00 PM GMT+1

Location: Main Stage Toekomstmuziek, Danzigerbocht 29, Amsterdam
Entrance: TICKETS TBA

ROOTED is a community-driven event built around connection, musical progression, and a shared love for different sounds.

Rather than staying within one genre throughout the night, ROOTED moves through different flavours of electronic music. Starting with house, the evening gradually builds through melodic sounds into deeper, hypnotic techno as the night progresses. Each set is carefully curated as part of that journey, creating a natural progression in both sound and energy.

At its core, ROOTED is about bringing people together. Growing from an international community of friends and music lovers in Amsterdam, our events are a place to reconnect, meet new people, and share the dancefloor. Different roots, different sounds, one community.

Following a series of collaborative Common Ground events, this edition brings the focus back to ROOTED and the sound, community and journey at the heart of the collective.

Line-up:

• Christoph

• Ilse Dorine

• LGNA

• VITTAO

Date: Friday, 4th of December, 2026
Time: 19.00 - 03.00
Location: Main Stage Toekomstmuziek, Danzigerbocht 29, Amsterdam
Entrance: TICKETS TBA

Imagine Film Festival: PH1SHed_

LAB111, Saturday, October 31 at 01:00 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.
