Felix Meritis, Amsterdam - For the third time, we curated and produced the afterparty for the Museumnacht Amsterdam. This year the Museumnacht celebrated its fifth anniversary and - hey, you know us - we wanted to honour this in style.

We chose for the beautiful Felix Meritis building, in the centre of Amsterdam. Downstairs we created one big dancing hall, where the aim was: to dance. Music here was no wavey and punkfunk. Rotterdams David Gilmour Girls kicked off. Followed by Amsterdam punkformation Malle Pietje en de bimbo's. After that came German Kitbuilders with a live set and DJ Matthias Modica from cool record label Gomma and half of DJ duo Munk closed the night with the finest underground tunes. Nice room and only room where we could turn up the volume to 90 db (still kind of soft though). The top room of the building was home of New Machine, an Amsterdam based art/music collective presenting a DIY remix installation. People could make their own songs from a selection of samples provided by the artist. With headphones. Ha! The midlevel rooms were due to annoying Amsterdam neighbours complaining, limited in volume. DJ Herzschmerz played background music consisting of world famous tearjerkers and and more rare anthems. All female DJ/VJ collective Rundfunk made people dance even they couldn't play louder than 82 db (!) and were followed by London DJ Rory Phillips who poor him had to play over the monitors since the whole soundsystem was overpowered and killed by the limiters.

Conclusion: nice party, goodlooking peeps but next time we'll look for a place where we can turn up the volume. Impressive and chique buildings in posh neighbourhoods don't match big decibels and a hot crowd eager to dance its head off.
