AADE: Anderworld release event

OT301, Friday, October 23 at 10:00 PM GMT+2

Genre: Live electronics: EBM, darkwave, electro, industrial techno
Line up: BlackBeach (live), Camy Huot (live), Parrish Smith, Vonder (live)
Open: 22:00 - 03:00 hrs
Tickets: € 10-13

This night is all about becoming intimate with the heavier frequencies. Come close to interact with these live acts that know how to make a crowd move. Vonder, Camy Huot, BlackBeach and Parrish Smith (DJ set) will indulge your senses in the darker pleasures of live electronics. This leads to an interesting blend of live electronics, EBM, electro and technopunk.

To top things off: tonight will also be the second release party of Anderworld, a cooperative, post-capitalist record label founded in 2026 by the Amsterdam-based counterculture collective Amsterdam Alternative. With the first release of ‘Inter//Esse’ by Wilco Prinsen in June, it is now up to the dark collective BlackBeach during ADE’s celebration of electronics. They will bring their forceful live drums and carefully crafted synth melodies together into a new track called ‘Drift’. Expect raw energy in the lower frequencies.

Artists:
BlackBeach emerged from the desire to make live alternative electronic dance music. Coming from a rock and punk background, they approach electronic music in a distinctive, alternative way. BlackBeach is more than a band; it is a sonic journey, a live experiment. They combine analogue synths, drum machines and live drums with carefully designed soundscapes, making their music range from cinematic and space to raw rave. This unique mix comes to life in their intense live shows. Come and experience for yourself what it’s like to be on BlackBeach.

Camy Huot is known for driving the pulse of the underground scene via her Wavecrash events, Too Many Creeps livestreams, Batcage Radio shows and DJ sets at live shows & festivals like Best Kept Secret, Gothic Pogo, Club Solitaire, WaveFest and Grauzone.
On stage she explores the depths of minimal wave, synth punk, electro, and EBM, weaving them into an evocative sonic journey.
Her debut EP "Echoes In My Room" is showcasing her growth as a producer and her commitment to creating introspective electronic music. In a recent article by Post-Punk.com, her debut single is described as a "fevered sound collage of rhythm and reverberation," capturing the lingering sensations of a night out. Camy Huot explains that the track reflects the experience of returning home with sounds still resonating, serving as "an ode to the mistakes we made at night." The full EP is slated for release in Spring 2025 under Wave Tension Records.

Parrish Smith is a Dutch DJ, music producer, singer, and visual artist of Surinamese, Chinese, and Indian descent. Born in the isolated city of Nieuwegein, he launched his international career before moving to Amsterdam, where he further refined his genre-defying sound.
His music is intense, hypnotic, and boundary-breaking, blending punk, rock, techno, and experimental rhythms while challenging elitist techno norms. His mantra "No Elitism, No Prejudices, No Genres, No Codes" reflects his punk ethos, emphasizing raw emotion and risk-taking.
Starting in Amsterdam’s underground, Smith quickly gained recognition in Eastern Europe and Berlin, delivering electrifying sets that transcend genre and immerse audiences in pure primal energy. His impact has been felt at Dekmantel, Lowlands, Villette Sonique, Unsound and Nuits Sonores, among others.
Shaped by his Surinamese roots and a challenging youth, Smith found solace in dark, immersive music, drawing from punk, industrial, and Detroit techno. Lacking role models in the industry, he carved his own path—now inspiring others from underrepresented backgrounds.
His diverse discography and collaborations include remixing Sevdaliza and Grimes, collaborating with YZY affiliated brand Prototypes.CH, reinterpreting industrial pioneers like Ramleh and SMERSH, and remixing Richie Hawtin. Beyond music, he has collaborated with Ai WeiWei x FOAM Photography Museum, The Sound & Vision Institute, Wereldmuseum, and the EYE Filmmuseum, solidifying his status as a visionary artist across multiple disciplines.
Resident Advisor // Insta // Spotify // Soundcloud
Vonder is the project of Ellenor Vora and Benjamin Sch (Noire Antidote). Vonder balances between club-oriented energy and spooky intensity, with influences from Darkwave, EBM and Electro-Industrial. Tight rhythms and an oppressive emotional charge drive the music forward. Vonder delves into themes of resignation and unrest, channeling these emotions into a powerful live performance.
The duo got to know each other online through the Isolation Sessions. An initiative organized by The Super-Nova Studio to still be able to play an online live show during covid pandemic time in pop venue Effenaar. It soon became clear that within this collaboration, everything fell into place.

AADE: ADEV after

OT301, Saturday, October 24 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

Genre: Modular, Techno, Electronica, IDM
Line up: Alberta Balsam, Wilco Prinsen (live), Keynu (live), Arc Vale (live), Waldo b2b Tania Kim, Industrial Romantico
Open: 20:00 - 03:00 hrs
Tickets: € 8-12

On Saturday the 24th of October Amsterdam Alternative will host one of the ADEV (street parade) after parties again.
We have a great, eclectic line up with a couple of exciting live acts and some (inter)nation DJ’s.

Amsterdam Alternative has been organissing the AADE (Amsterdam Alternative Dance Event) since 2018 as an alternative to the big and quite commercial ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) that takes over town between 21 and 25 October. It’s not an anti ADE event but a small-scale, affordable, experimental and more varied alternative to the high priced ADE events.
Our AADE - ADEV after party starts early (20:00 hrs) again.
Just enough time to go to the ADEV street parade, have some food and get to the OT301)
Artists:
Wilco Prinsen creates hypnotic, instrumental electronic music at the intersection of electronica, indie, and ambient, with influences from kraut, leftfield techno, and IDM. His gritty, organic sound originated in a world of guitars, analog pedals, and tube amplifiers. In search of more freedom, wonder, and a new sonic palette, the guitar has given way to a modular synthesizer. His productions and live performances are characterized by refined melodies and layered compositions, leaving ample room for improvisation: both the live arrangement of all melodic layers and the manipulation of his modular synth’s sound ensure that his tracks are brought to life in new ways each time.
Insta // Soundcloud
Alberta Balsam
Rotterdam based cosmic runner Alberta Balsam throws crazy curveballs at you when you least expect them—glitchy rhythms, skittering percussion, and wild synth freak-outs—only to pull you into sweeping ambient dreamscapes the next moment. Riding that fine line between IDM, breakbeats, bass, and leftfield techno, she thrives on unpredictability, crafting DJ sets that are as cerebral as they are high-energy.
Over the past five years, her hardware-driven live performances have a highlight, with appearances at festivals like Dekmantel and Draaimolen. Whether performing solo or as part of A#, she blends heavy machinery with improvised live vocals. A staple of Clone and Dekmantel, she also helms her own imprint, Terra Atomika.
Building on her earlier releases—like the electro-tinged Higher Dreams (Dekmantel) and the dancefloor-ready IDM of 15 Billion Elektrovolt (Clone)—her latest album, One Way Trip to Gaia, transforms into a sci-fi odyssey of bass-heavy beats, breakbeat rhythms, and dub-infused atmospheres. She seamlessly fuses pop sensibility with otherworldly sound design, never losing that club-ready energy.
Departing from her usual hardware-heavy approach, Alberta presents One Way Trip to Gaia as a mesmerizing A/V show, featuring striking visuals. The visuals and album artwork, created by Timaeus, bring to life her alternative universe, where human and alien biology merge as one.

Arc Vale
Arc Vale is the collaborative project of Zamity Mitelembe and Noah Dackus. Emerging from Amsterdam’s underground, the duo drifts between experimental electronics, live instrumentation and emotionally exposed songwriting, creating songs that feel both immediate and strangely cinematic. Post-punk tension dissolves into hypnagogic electronics, fractured trip-hop rhythms and moments of aching intimacy. Their debut EP World Entertainment unfolds like a late-night fever dream, haunted by longing, grandeur and emotional excess.

Keynu
Insta // Soundcloud
Marco Baldini, aka Waldo, is a Milan-based DJ hailing from a small town in the north-west of Italy. Since 2018, he has been building his presence in the underground electronic scene through live and DJ sets, supporting different musical shades and staying strongly connected to the local community. After years of experience between Canterbury and Berlin, in late 2019 he joined the Milan collective and the venue Tempio del Futuro Perduto. His residency at Tempio began in 2022, where he expanded his musical taste and artistic perspective—moving from Italo/Ebm toward Electro-Breakbeat, with faster, high-energy atmospheres. Alongside his club work, Waldo also leads a web radio residency for Refuge Worldwide in Berlin, and broadcasting through Radio Ombra in Venice. Through this platform, he curates sessions that translate tru his dancefloor mindset into an all-digital format—blending groove-driven listening moments with more energetic breakbeat and bass-oriented selections, connecting underground releases, guest-driven programming, and a coherent momentum across episodes. He also collaborates with Tania Kim on a well curated b2b, exploring sets built around creative, purpose-designed musical dialogues.
Soundcloud
Tania Kim is an Italian DJ and producer based in Milan, and a resident at Tempio del Futuro Perduto. Known for her energetic and genre-crossing approach to electronic music, her sound blends techno, trance, house, tekno, and electro into dynamic, high-intensity sets. Originally approaching music as a bass player and singer in the alternative scene, Tania later found her artistic direction behind the decks, developing a distinctive style that effortlessly moves between broken rhythms and driving four-on-the-floor grooves. Whether playing vinyl or digital, she crafts immersive journeys that balance raw energy with deep musical storytelling. Over the years, she has performed at some of Italy's and international most respected underground clubs and cultural spaces, including Link (Bologna), Dekmantel Selectors (Tisno, Croatia), Argo16 (Venezia) and a wide range of independent festivals, clubs and warehouse events across the country. With an ever-evolving musical vision and an uncompromising passion for club culture, Tania Kim continues to push boundaries, creating powerful dancefloor experiences that connect people through music while constantly exploring new sonic territories.
Soundcloud // Insta
Industrial Romantico is one of the musical aliases of Italian artist and activist Tommaso Dapri, alongside Aequal and Tommaso Marasma. He is also the founder of Tempio del Futuro Perduto, one of Europe’s most unique independent cultural centers. Industrial Romantico project born in 2019 as a response to the ethical and creative decline of the global dance scene, Industrial Romantico is a DJ and live project built around improvisation. Every set is created in real time, without fixed playlists or genre boundaries, adapting to the space, the audience and the moment. His sound moves between Detroit and Chicago ghetto, techno, electro, house, industrial, hardcore, synth pop, ambient, and traditional and sacred music from different cultures. From dj and vinyl-only sessions to fully analog live performances, each set is designed as a continuous musical narrative rather than a sequence of tracks. In 2021 he founded Italo Ghetto Records, an independent label and multidisciplinary platform through which he has released vinyl records, curated photography exhibitions and published the books “Futuro Perduto” and “Poesia Techno”. Two decades of work across club culture, rave communities, cultural activism and independent institutions shape an approach where music, community and social practice are inseparable.

Artists:
Wilco Prinsen
The Amsterdam-based producer and live musician Wilco Prinsen balances his instrumental electronic music between genres such as psychedelia, kraut, lo-fi electronica, IDM, and ambient. His love for a gritty, organic sound originates from the east of the Netherlands, where he began experimenting as a guitarist with analog effect pedals and overdriven tube amplifiers. In his quest for more freedom, wonder, and abstract sounds, the guitar has given way to a modular synthesizer. From a labyrinth of knobs, cables, and flickering lights, Wilco Prinsen builds hypnotic live performances in which the boundary between rhythm and melody blurs.
Insta // Soundcloud
Mathilde Nobel
Mathilde Nobel is a Rotterdam-based musician and visual artist whose work bridges ethereal sound design with a deconstructed club sensibility. Her music is marked by cinematic pads, angelic processed vocals, and fragmented rhythms that feel painterly in their emotional depth and contrast. With a background in Fine Arts, Nobel builds immersive worlds where sound, visuals, and performance dissolve into one another.
As a self-taught musician, she released her debut EP May+Be in 2022, followed by the full-length Founds on Land on Nous’klaer Audio. The album received critical acclaim and was included in NRC’s Top 25 Albums of 2022. Founds on Land was also reinterpreted by techno pioneer Marcel Dettmann, who released four remixes that expanded her sound into new sonic territory.
Nobel has performed at renowned festivals such as Rewire, Dekmantel, Draaimolen, and Motel Mozaïque, and continues to present her work in compelling audiovisual live shows. In addition to her Dutch appearances, she has debuted internationally with performances in Iceland and Switzerland, further establishing her unique voice at the intersection of sound and visual art.

Bastian Benjamin
Sculpting sounds into compositions that fit both the club and solitary walks, Bastian Benjamin’s music bridges rhythm and emotion. He has released on labels like Nerve Collect and Who’s Susan, and collaborated with artists across various disciplines, he is also part of the live act A#, with performances at events such as Draaimolen and STOOR. His sensibility for molding the abstract into something that moves both body and mind comes to life in his compositions and live sets.
Insta // Website
Zohar
Cutting-edge sonics as the shifting of storms. Percussive and pulsating, Zohar is known for a razor-sharp and highly dynamic club-signature.
With years of formative experience controlling dancefloors, the artist behind Zohar has been treading a diverse and eclectic musical path in which rattling low-end and rhythmic tension can be regarded as the common denominators. Known for technical refinement and mixing witchcraft, Zohar now intuitively seeks innovative and surprising connections, both disorienting and exciting listeners in the process.
The artist’s sparse yet prolific output as a producer is best channeled through the illustrious ZHR label. Its catalog consists of two DIY releases (Object, 2022; self-titled, 2019) and have been distributed in collaboration with Clone Rotterdam. These highly personal records provide temporal signs that define Zohar’s artistic development. Furthermore, works appeared on compilations by Dekmantel (DKMNTL X PATTA, 2020) and Traumgarten (Flowers That Bloom At Midnight, 2020).
Quickly becoming a mainstay in the vital Dutch scene, Zohar has recently featured at renowned institutions such as Dekmantel Festival (2022, 2019) and FIBER Festival (2022) as well as making international appearances at Positive Education (2022) and the Opera House (2022, 2018). The latter took place in collaboration with dance performer Hannah Grennel (formerly involved with the Royal Ballet UK).

oernaut
oernaut is a DJ from another planet, bringing sounds what humans attempt to identify as "alien". Influenced by minimal and experimental interpretations of various genres, he likes to interact with melodies and beats that are utterly weird, essentially emphasizing the joy that could be extracted from the meaningful meaninglessness of life.
oernaut is a resident DJ at Slim Radio, and runs an experimental music label called SPEKTRO with fellow artists.

Out now: https://shed030.bandcamp.com/album/rave-echoes

After several months, I still think that "Everybody" is a top-notch song. An EDM anthem of the 21st century. It just feels like you're at a rave or a electronic music festival.

"In a continuation of his devotional celebration of the dance, Shed arrives on Dekmantel with Rave Echoes — a supple, mesmerising album of angular techno caught between the heat of peak time and the time-blurred hours after the club.

Few artists have nailed the intersection of the intellectual, emotional and physical in techno as evocatively as René Pawlowitz. For more than 20 years and across scores of aliases the Frankfurt/Oder-born, Berlin-based trailblazer has pushed a distinctive strain of machine music in thrall to the functional demands of motion without ever sacrificing subtlety, space, intrigue and expression. While his vast catalogue of work touches on many different moods and energies, on his Dekmantel debut Rave Echoes he shrouds eight forthright workouts in a blanket of misty melancholia to evoke the enchanting afterglow of the party.

"It's not nostalgic," Pawlowitz explains. "It's about that feeling that remains for a day, a week or even years after celebrating a rave. I still have that feeling for about 30 years now. This record tries to describe it."

The vaporous pads that soar over 'Password (Techno Mix)' certainly come charged with a bittersweet sentiment. Meanwhile the rhythmic locomotion comes on like the rumble of the first train back after leaving the club. The insistent bell loop up top rings out like the hook of the last track that rang out over the soundsystem. It's a sensation familiar to anyone who has spent their last drop of energy at the altar of dance, where exhaustion meets with satisfaction and disorientation as you recalibrate back into the real world.

This approach — dreamlike atmospherics and rugged propulsion — takes on many guises across Rave Echoes."
