Progressive house on a canal boat, in the afternoon.
VOLT's ADE debut aboard the Multatuli: Gai Barone's fluid prog-house with trance in its blood, Tiefstone's patient Argentine progressive and Not Demure's melodic techno, cruising the canals.
For fans of Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J
Louie Vega plays open to close on a boat.
The Masters at Work co-founder's house pulls in salsa, afrobeat, jazz, gospel and soul, and he gets the whole night to do it. Piem holds the second room. The kind of set people talk about for years.
For fans of Kerri Chandler, Osunlade
Ritter Butzke takes to the water.
Super Flu's playful, hooky house, Einmusik's bright live melodic techno and Solvane's emotional club house, on a cruise ship on a Friday afternoon.
For fans of Âme, Mind Against
Saturday daylight, techno, on the IJ.
Space 92, Svetec, A.D.H.S. and Ben Dust on a floating event venue with two halls and an open deck. Driving, melodic techno with the harbour going by.
Hard techno closes its series on the water, after dark.
KNTRLVRLST's fast techno with euphoric leads, Luca Lush's distorted, industrial hard techno and ASLØ's acid-heavy pressure, on a two-hall event ship. Little breathing room, by design.
For fans of I Hate Models, Nico Moreno
