News & Events

This Amsterdam Dance Event, Echobox Radio returns with a full week of programming on the airwaves and the dance floor. From a special broadcast from an Amsterdam Ferry to a collaborative fundraiser and our annual Echobox Presents Amsterdam showcase, we are amplifying voices that move the scene forward and exploring how music can connect us.

Foam x Echobox Radio & Chinnamasta

We begin on October 22 with Foam x Echobox Radio & Chinnamasta, a four-hour performance and livestream from the GVB ferry de Pont. On the waters of the IJ, sound, image, travellers and bicycles come together in a collaboration inspired by the exhibition Tapsei by Fidelio Faustino. The route of the ferry will be announced soon, but as always it is free to join.

Home Again

Later that day, São Paulo’s Gop Tun and Berlin’s Home Again unite for a full-day fundraiser at Skatecafe in support of Refugees Welcome, an international network providing safe housing and integration for people forced to flee. From 17:00 to 21:00, Echobox and Refuge Worldwide co-present a day programme of panels and music exploring themes of sustainability, nightlife and community.

The first conversation, When the Lights Go On: what happens after the party – intimacy, loneliness, community? brings together Mohamed Ghabri (Mo Manager, Echobox Radio), Veronique de Leon (Sol Sync Health), and angelboy (Producer, DJ), moderated by Ramon de Lima (former nachtburgermeester and AFK).

The second panel, Nightlife Under the Current Climate: Sustainability, Fundraising and Partnerships – how to navigate in the current climate, features Han Husain (AFK, Echobox), Iona Smith (The Queer Agenda, Echobox) and Luna Lula (Possibility Open Studios), moderated by Anastasia and Awa (AA Magazine co-founders) . Musical interludes from Adam Cooke and Ketama Man will be broadcast live on Echobox.Radio and Refuge Worldwide. Entry to the daytime programme is free.

From 21:00 to 04:00, the focus shifts to the dancefloor. Three rooms and more than twenty artists come together, all performing without a fee to support the cause. Every ticket sold contributes directly to Refugees Welcome. Come early, stay late and be part of something meaningful.

Echobox Presents Amsterdam

The following days, from October 23 to 25, Echobox Presents Amsterdam returns for its yearly ADE showcase. Across three days of extended broadcasts, local collectives: Pacific Ondergronds x Kruispunt, La Cassette, and Vandalzied take over the studio to share the sounds and ideas shaping Amsterdam’s underground scene today. Alongside these special programmes, our regular schedule continues with international guests and local residents bringing their energy to the booth.

Stay tuned for the full ADE schedule and join us next week!
