Join us in showing đź’Ż% support to the worlds first and only Techno History Museum for the people, by the people, and I mean, the people who layed the foundation, brick by brick!

“What I would like to happen is an expansion of the museum space to cover house, hip-hop, and other genres, and more room for our little shop. It would be much more spacious, with the school, all added together.” –Bridgette Banks

Our friend DVS1 announces details for the next Wall Of Sound.

DVS1 and Ratherlost combine ethos and efforts to bring the formidable Wall of Sound concept to Lofi, Amsterdam on the 6th & 7th of March.

Two curated nights of sound-pressure-driven movement powered by a massive custom L-Acoustics rig, stacked wide and high, carefully tuned by the Wall of Sound’s house technician.

Friday night pays tribute to sound system culture, with dub, breaks & bass-leaning sets by Darwin and GiGi FM, a first-ever b2b between Pariah and DJ Pete, and jungle exponent Tim Reaper.

Saturday night dives deep into the trenches of techno, with DVS1 commanding the spaceship alongside true techno pioneer Richie Hawtin, as well as tastemakers Josey Rebelle and Samuel Deep.
