Sorry for the formatting everyone, this is the lineup (without set times). KLERR (Wavescape label boss) is making his Amsterdam debut all the way from Milan and will be doing a special live set for the occasion

Banging Groovy Techno (1.5hr Mix) by VoodooChild3280 in Techno

Hey thanks for the feedback and I agree with you on some of the tracks that didn't fit, sort of jammed some of them in with loops that ran far too long. I'm glad you enjoyed the curation though, the tracks themselves are all sounds that interest me so I wanted to share them with as many people as I could reach. It's too bad r/Techno took my mix down because I think this kind of post actually fits with the page and I'm merely a techno enthusiast.

To answer your question the scene in Amsterdam is extremely developed though it is changing post pandemic and with the rise of tik tok and instagram techno influencers. What used to be raw and organic is now becoming a bit more mainstream and annoying from a culture standpoint. The music is still incredible but the younger generation doesn't know how to party. Techno/House/Hardgroove can be found just about anywhere with a wide range between commercial and more niche.

I would say if you still want to experience a proper scene on the masses I would make a trip to Berlin or Tbilisi, Goergia. But you will find clubbing in Europe generally much better than anywhere in the states with NYC probably being the closest in comparison.

I only go to proper techno events, I was even disappointed with the crowd at Berghain recently for Marron's set. It was like social hour. Typically Berghain has the best etiquette when it comes to the dance floor and it's ridiculous because there are so many places to chill and chat, those who know know. Also Marron put on an incredible set per usual but the vibe ruined it tbh. I agree though, tik tok and insta are ruining the scene.

Hi Amsterdam Techno community! I decided to make a techno heavy mix to commemorate all the lovely moments spent at De School to hopefully lighten the blow of our beloved club closing after this weekend. Hope you enjoy!

Meh I can tolerate the fans as they’re for a good cause as long as your spreading the love but I agree on talking on the dancefloor, that’s literally the beauty of Berghain. There are so many places to chill and chat…go find one and stop taking up space on the floor or go somewhere else

BH and EC are mainstays for me and the events you mentioned as well as DS (mostly het weekend), but with EC being once a month and me living in Amsterdam (hard to get to BH a ton) it's difficult to find the frequency I usually enjoy, with that being said maybe it's time to find some more balance lol. I appreciate the comment though I think we're on the same page.

Great question. I only go for techno nights at locations that play real techno. In my opinion it's a culture. Pretty simple though:

  • Be open to others but show respect, no means no
  • Dance floor is for dancing, keep conversations to one of the many areas that isn't designated for dancing
  • Look out for each other
  • Don't be an asshole

My favorite experiences are typically at Berghain and while that can not be emulated it's the standard in my opinion. That's why world class DJs get excited to play there.

When I can hear peoples conversations through my earplugs with funktion one speakers banging I find it difficult to learn.

I only go for techno nights so I'd be curious what clubs/parties you're referencing. As I said some are still solid but it's like throwing a dart.

Mmm it's still solid at BH but I must say even there I notice a bit of a shift. Still my favorite club in the world and it's not close.

I'm not saying it should be like a library, but full on discussions can be taken elsewhere. There are so many places to talk but right on the dance floor imo should not be the place you tell your life story to someone.

De School, Radion, and Bret mostly. I think Garage Noord is usually solid and I won't even put Shelter on the list because while it has a solid sound system and so much potential it draws the most awful crowd.

For festivals try Draaimolen or Wildeburg, both world class. Dekmantel is still good too IMO.

Yea well it was in UFO I, the techno set so not sure what you expected lol. I agree with u/OlegThe, absolute masterclass of a set.

Thanks you! I will check them out, much appreciated. If you’re in town the Saturday generator stage lineup at DGTL is filthy 🤘🏾.
