Amsterdam’s elusive, galvanizing Eerste Communie takes over the first night of December. Co-founder and resident MARRØN leads the charge. A standout artist in the modern techno landscape, MARRØN cranks up the tempos, dialing in taut rhythms, masterfully restrained percussive layering and eerie, spacious textures. A true inheritor to the minimal techno tradition pioneered by Robert Hood and Jeff Mills, MARRØN fuses, in his own words, “the percussive element of traditional African music with this Berlin sound that goes on and on.” Eerste Communie resident AMORAL joins the fray. Equally adept at driving, gritty techno and deep, fluid groove, AMORAL has emerged as a vital force over the past half-decade. Fellow resident Hitam makes his debut. On this year’s “Vesturgata Gaze” EP, Hitam gave us one of his most nuanced and unique transmissions to date. Across the record’s five tracks, he traces a line through grimy, evocative sonic landscapes, with pulsating percussion drifting between background ambiance and full-bore techno. STUDIO resident Gabrielle Kwarteng headlines. The NY-born, Berlin-based breathes new life into classic house in a way that few others can. What exactly makes her sets stand out? Kwarteng avoids flashy distractions in favor of pure music, drawing from a seemingly-limitless well of music that brims with vitality and heart. Accept no substitutes. Matas taps into a vein of tech-y, bass-weighted groove. Across his residency at Nowadays, Matas has laid out his vision for the dancefloor: seductive, alien, futuristic. Still Agua makes his debut in the room. Journeying from Venice, Italy, Still Agua brings a depth and spacious nuance that is emblematic of his country’s rich history of psychedelic dance music. He is a resident of the Opificio party and co-founder of Terrafermissima, a deep listening event series. In both posts, Still Agua taps into the deepest waters, cultivating something dynamic, captivating and elusive. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
