Vasco

Kennedy

“You can dance, if you want to,” is a sentence we feel deeply connects to Kennedy’s core of playing music. A non-forceful approach, but it damn well moves you if you allow it. The digging history of this Amsterdam vinyl-head runs deep. With over 20 years in the pipeline, exploring his love for the roots of house and techno in its widest sense, it’s a present to have him back in our booth again. He possesses the craft to let his fingers browse through records from the outer spectrums of electronics, and can tie them together like they were always meant to meet. “Music sounds better with you” feels like an understatement when he’s on the ones and twos. Joining him is Vasco, a record collector who’s not bound to any specific genre, something that speaks for both of them. Vasco plays music that sits within the soulful, but is always laced with a kind of toughness. A knack for the sweet and soft, fast and percussive, the tough and obscure.

Monty DJ

Nathan Kofi

Two local mainstays unite: Monty DJ and Nathan Kofi. These two artists have experienced club culture from just about every angle over the past ten plus years. As club lover, programmer, DJ, producer, label head, or label partner, they have tasted dance floors from both sides of the booth, keeping their sound fresh and in constant motion. Nathan leans into house, techno, and ambient spheres, drawing inspiration from the spirit of Detroit, Chicago, and New York. Monty has a love for moving through as many places as possible. He shifts through shades of house and techno with a strong focus on rhythm and contemporary club cuts, always exploring anything that groove and offers feeling to the dance floor. A quality combo, ready to rinse mind, body, and soul.

Robert Bergman

Frico

We read that Robert Bergman goes by the moniker ‘Chi hu Master’ in some parts of the planet. A nod to someone outstandingly good at reading the board game Mahjong. Outside of that game, and in our downstairs playground, you can witness his slick and strategic mastermind while rolling through his decade and a half collection of records. Music not bound to genre or style, simply putting the needle on “all the good things that are good to him.” Together with Frico (Freddy & Nico), it’s going to be a night of the black gold through and through. Old-school house, jackin’ acid, tech rollers, electronic rarities and synth-pop obscurities: these three are diggin’ it forever and are in it forever. Come get a taste of what they’re about.

MLiR

It’s not the first time Mario Marini and MLiR share the decks, but it’s a special moment when it happens. There’s a beautiful recording online from a spontaneous back-to-back they played a few years ago, and it’s a big listen tip! In there you’ll hear their dedication and love for finding rare records. Digging, digging, digging… as much as they can. Streetsoul, boogie, house, kwaito, synth pop and everything in between, all made for letting your inner parts smile and outer parts dance. That’s what you’ll be up for when hopping on their train.

Kyra Khaldi

Somewhere swaying between elegance and ruggedness, and with a knack for combining the dark, trippy, and dreamy: Doka-familiar Kyra Khaldi takes the wheel of our ship again, this time alongside Mauro Moreno, who’s making his Doka debut and is known for his affection for swinging drums and swaying rhythms. It’ll be a night where their love for house and techno takes center stage; the kind that bangs, spirals, and slaps, all geared up with an old-skool feel to it.

NEDDA SOU

Both squeezed and shaped by Amsterdam’s nightlife since they were young, and known for their love of lifting a room with soul and spirit.

Stones Taro

Yuto Takei

Mengzy

Lomax

The twelfth installment of Lost Groove hits home. A number that, in the spiritual realms, stands for wholeness and transformation, something this crew has been representing with their series over and over again. From classic house lineups to more trippy electro-house nights, from soulful spheres to more techno-oriented ones; rediscovery seems to be what drives them. This time, they host a fresh lineup with Doka newcomers that lean a bit more into UK bass- and garage-oriented sounds, breakbeats, and jungle. Hailing from Japan and China are bass pioneer Stones Taro, 90s house gem specialist Mengzy, and bass head Lomax. They fly in under the wings of music multidisciplinarian Yuto Takei, a DJ and producer who has made a name in our city’s nightlife over the last few years, and rightfully so! A beautiful deck of artists, ready to spin our deck through many corners of club ready cuts.

Combined Type

Noizar’s sound goes far beyond conventional house or techno, always offering sleek twists throughout his sets. The Ukrainian-born, Amsterdam-based DJ has developed a rare instinct for picking up on minimal house and techno that doesn’t often make it to the surface. A digger at heart who shines a light, through both his label and his sets, on a spectrum of electronic music that refreshes ears and stirs hearts. His style doesn’t fit into an obvious category but taps into an oh-so-familiar feeling through unfamiliar tracks: stomping, eerie, and haunting, right into the funnel of a night. Together with the Doka-affiliated Combined Type, we’re in for cuts that move deep, are stripped to the essence, and built for impact.

Shady Lady

MMIV

Esse

Jezabel is a queer space which weds the beauty of expression in dance, drag, and performative arts with music of the funky variety such as disco, italo and house. Giving a stage to both established and rising queer characters within the Netherlands. They consider queerness to be a form of not only expression but of protest and that is always shared within each event they host. After two years of hosting parties in Utrecht this will be their first edition in Amsterdam and what better way to celebrate than for Pride!

Steven Julien

Apron-don Steven Julien comes over to trigger your inner jackin’ house-child. In an old interview with Patta, the London DJ once said something about his label’s aesthetic that stuck with us: “We avoid formulas. We grab tasteful aesthetics from everywhere and everything!” Sounds about right, and also feels like the perfect metaphor for the way he plays, in which you’ll probably notice references that point back to the roots of hip-hop, house and techno all together. Lightness goes hand in hand with intensity, the old does with the new, it all doesn’t really matter. All we can say is that once you pick up on it, you’ll stay locked, that’s a promise from our side. Hand-in-hand also goes the combo with Lil Lawaw on the other end of the wheel. A jack-of-all-trades well-schooled in where it all comes from, but serves his records with fun, a smile and a bit of cheek. Combine that with his skills to push his musical likings in ways that surprise yours, and you’ve got a night that might be right up your alley. Even if you don’t know it yet.

Paired with local hero Rob Manga, who brought us an impressive 7 hour set back in February. Together, they’ll create a soundscape that breaks down barriers, inviting you to drop your guard and move freely. Expect a dancefloor pulsing with shared energy.
