From 2011 to 2024 we also organized concerts in Amsterdam, mainly at De Ruimte, but also other cool venues as OCCII and STEIM. Though, we don’t any more (aside from an annual festival, don’t contact us about this, we will contact you if we want you to perform).
Demo policy (updated February 7th, 2024)
This is for our regular series and contemporary series.
Our schedule is full until the end of 2025, and we are not looking for new music or musicians for 2026.
As such, we don’t accept any demos.
