Amsterdam people...please help.

I just moved to Amsterdam to study at the UvA and I don't know any Dutch yet so I'm kinda lost in this board.

Where should I go to get my weekly dosage of trance? Now & Wow?

Do Dutch TAs usually hang out somewhere?

I think I'll probably go to Trance Energy even if I don't love the lineup, just to experience a big event for once. I heard Armin is also spinning Feb. 1 at Club Eau, so I'll probably go to that party too.

Any help with anything would be appreciated. I'm not a tourist, that's why I didn't use the "foreigner" sticky. Thanks,

Pio

The only place for trance in amsterdam is XL in cubic.

Posted by TimeportE on Jan-06-2003 11:59:

you got to ask/pm jp, he's the only one from amsterdam (i think) here..

Posted by Chicane on Jan-06-2003 11:59:

Since you live in Amsterdam you can check out Club XL every weekend, XL has a great line up. Now & Wow is in Rotterdam (about 45 minutes drive from Amsterdam) and is mostly house and club music. Club Eau is in The Hague (Den Haag/s'Gravenhage) near Kijkduin.

We have a thread about places to go in Holland, check it out for addresses and websites

Hope you like Holland, and don't mind 365 days of rain and big temperature shifts.. one day it is 8 deg. next day it is -3... geezz what a country this is

im from amsterdam and Club XL is the place 2 be here...

where in amsterdam do you live?
pm me,i can show you the record stores

Posted by jp on Jan-06-2003 12:11:

The only place worth going to are Q-Base in Zaandam, XL in Amsterdam-West and The Powerzone.

Clubbing in Amsterdam sucks!

Save yourself some trouble, invest your money on the several trance parties like Sensation, Mysterland, Dance Valley, Qlimax, Contact etc etc

If you wanna party in The Hague (The Eau) just PM me and we'll go there some time

Thanks guys, I'm already in love with this country. It's so beautiful and the people are awesome. And even though I'm from the Caribbean, this weather is not that horrible

I live in Prins Hendrikkade, and it's great because there are many interesting places close by. Seems like everything here is within walking distance.

One question, do I need to purchase tickets in advance for Trance Energy? Will it really suck this year? Peace,

Pio

yup you have to buy in advance, just go to the free record shop (every city has one, they'll sell tickets)
if it's gonna suck, well the line-up ain't great but i think you'll always have a good time.. or you could always come to nexus, see sticky.. (but it's in dutch)

Not really, I think I'm further down, but I know what you're talking about. I'm in the corner of Prins H. and Valkenburgerstr Foeliestr. I walk down that street and run into the Waterlooplein.

Any coffeeshop reccomendations??

Dude, if you want to meet the other Dutch TA's , its best to come to a Nexus party (www.nexusparties.nl).
Eye-RIz, also a member here, spins her records there, and usually a LOT of TA's visit the party. There is one on the 15th of Februari in Deventer (1 hour 15 minutes by train from Amsterdam). Maybe you can mee a lot of us there. I bet more people from Amsterdam or that direction are coming. Just mail at [email protected] and we can work something out if you want to come.

Greetz,
SnuggLe

Sell it dude TE sucks, Nexus is WAY cooler!!! Really...If we would have a poll about it, i'm sure 90% should go to nexus

Posted by Little Theseus on Jan-07-2003 19:01:

LOL!

That is SO true!!!!

Posted by Shadow on Jan-07-2003 19:10:

on 25th january there will be an "I love Trance" party at the hemkade in zaandam. I don't know the exact line-up, because there site hasn't been updated yet, but the "I love Trance" parties are always a lot of fun! So if you love trance you definately should go there. If i recall correct the flyer of this party said it was the final one. So, it probably will be the last one.

Posted by New Wave on Jan-07-2003 20:23:

I think maybe 1 Dutch TA member wil go to TE.

If you wanne see all the stupid kiddies than you must go to Trance Energy.
If you wanna feel the real vibe of music and you're dying for a very, very very good quality of atmosphere you really should go to Nexus.
Like almost all Dutch TA members.

Maybe i know someone stupid who wants to buy yours.
I'll let you know!
