U.M.A. (‘s-Gravenhage) + BROMP TREB (US) + DUKE S. + DJ’s BENCE & SJOERD
U.M.A. is the act risen from the legendary industrial-acid techno band Unit Moebius (Bunker Records). Jan Duivenvoorden’s industrial yet spiritual live sets are from another planet. Techno will never sound the same again!
Bromp Treb is the solo performance and recording project of Los Angeles-based artist Neil Young. Bromp Treb has been vigorously looping tapes, cooking beats and punching buttons for over two decades, chasing the ecstatic and building community in the hyperlocal and international subterranean rivers of noisy unpoplular sound. For Bromp Treb noise is joyful failure music.

HEZ – PANAMA – DISCOS ENFERMOS
Overwhelming hardcore. Great riffs and hectic guitar playing varied with effects scattered around tastefully that sound like a malfunctioning computer. A bunch of plays with tempo usually introduce tense, mid-tempo stompers that also include pedal-manipulated guitars, and also a lot of echo/delay on the vocals.
https://discosenfermospunk.bandcamp.com/
ROBBER – AMSTERDAM/HAARLEM
Robber is a new Dutch punk outfit from Groningen/Amsterdam/Haarlem, featuring members from Frontsector, Traumatizer, and OUST. Drawing inspiration from bands like BLITZ and contemporary oi, Robber whips up a stomping melange of primitive hardcore and razor sharp rock and roll that hits like a crude slap in the face.

Dok Night - Het Laatste Avondmaal & Silica, Smetvrees en Teun & Jordu & Willem in the basement
2025-06-26 18:00 - 23:00 | Dokhuis, Plantage Doklaan 8-12, Amsterdam, Netherlands
18.00 Bar open & Vegan Food /// 2-course meal for 7 – 10 €
20.00 Live Music: Smetvrees, Silica & Teun en Jordu

We’re coming together to raise urgent funds for a Black and queer student fighting to stay in the Netherlands. They’re facing a critical deadline to pay off university debt in order to re-enrol in their master’s program — a step that’s essential to renewing their visa and keeping their housing.
Due to non-EU fees, they had to pause their studies. Now, re-enrolment isn’t just about education — it’s about safety, stability, and survival. Returning home isn’t an option: queerness is criminalized there, and the economic situation could make leaving again impossible.
Let’s show up in solidarity. Every contribution helps keep them housed, safe, and in uni.
There will also be a chance to write the Filton 18.
Solidarity with the 18 pro-Palestinian activists arrested by so-called “anti-terrorist” police and imprisoned in Britain! Their only crime: trying to stop the manufacture of weapons used in the genocide in Palestine.

MUSIC:
Silicå
Silicå is een kwartet uit Amsterdam. Gevormd in 2022 als een groep vrienden met een gedeelde passie voor muziek. Silicå experimenteert met allerlei stijlen, waarbij ze zich laat inspireren door grunge, psychedelisch rock en shoegaze. Silicå maakt melodieuze en catchy psychedelische grunge, gekleurd door reverb en fuzz.

Smetvrees
Opgericht in 2023 door Tedje en Kees (zangeres en gitarist). Na vele ex drummers en gitaristen zijn drummer Mees en bassist Elfin erbij gekomen. Een band met dansbare en ruige punk geïnspireerd door onder andere Dead Kennedys, Mannequin Pussy, Led Zeppelin en Napalm Death. Na hun eerste optreden in De Roze Tanker zat de pit er in. Er werd gedanst, gemoshed en gecrowdsurfed, het smaakte naar meer. Met een optreden voor een paar consumptiebonnen, een tros bananen en een kratje pils zijn hun wensen vervult.

Teun & Jordu & Willem
is een formatie van 3 leden. De muziek is rauw, elektronisch en humoristisch . De 3 toverwoorden zijn: Booty, Bass en Bouncen. Bij elkaar evenveel kennis en wijsheid als 2 oude mannen.

concert: Seedlink+ & Subbacultcha invite Deleted (NY)
2025-07-31 19:00 - 23:00 | Dokzaal
Local label Seedlink+ and Subacultcha have come together to host a few phenomenal musicians from New York label Deleted including Deer park (live), Lilic & wish (live) and Glint (live). Local acts Ity (live) and Naina (DJ) will complete this evening in their signature playful ways. A filled evening with true label heads on the 31st of July at Dokzaal.
Deer park is the New York based producer and vocalist will give you waves of Caribou, Dean Blunt and Chanel Beads. Deer park has performed alongside other Subbacultcha favorites like Jawnino and his latest collaborations include Ivy Knight and jackzebra.

As if it is 2007 and you are starting up your Microsoft computer, or your Nokia starts ringing, or, yeah… Glint creates textures so vividly, it turns sound into nostalgic symbols.
Lilic & wish will provide maximalist ambient soundscapes that are clean as day with vocals in pure glitched fashion. Listen below to get a taste and get lost on the journey they will take you on.
Seedlink+ co-founder ity is joining this mesmeric evening. ity is an amsterdam based musician focusing on the verges of electronic music. He recently released his debut album “no road no problem”. In his DJ-sets he focuses on tracks that light up the room like a flashlight in undiscovered back alleys. Long stretched harmonies and bleepy melodies are paving the way for adventure, destination unknown.
Naina is a new project by Go Me and Zainab Bukhari, this time they will DJ, maybe next time they will play live…

PRETTY VILLAGE, PRETTY FLAME 1996
(Lepa Sela Lepo Gore)

Directed by Srdjan Dragojevic
129 minutes
This flick starts off in a country that no longer exists, called Yugoslavia, when it was under the reign of a guy named Tito. When Tito died, everything in the country began unraveling fast, and the economy started to plummet. This story zooms in on two young boys who are friends and follows their relationship for the next years, eventually leading them to different sides of the Bosnian war that broke out in the early 1990s. By the time this movie was made, Yugoslavia had officially perished.
This flick throws us into the thick of it, and is absolutely riveting, with great performances by all the lead actors as it juggles the politics of a chaotic time in history. It was a time when the closest friends or even families were broken apart and killing each other. This movie depicts such a tragedy, but it is also full of humor, wit and insights. The mechanics of the film are razor-sharp, from the cinematography to the dialogue to the direction. It is one of the most praised movies dealing with the topic of the war in Yugoslavia, and it shows all the absurdity, irony, ridiculousness and hypocrisy of any war situation.
It was directed by the young Yugoslavian whippersnapper Srdjan Dragojevic (We are Not Angels) who really blooms as a director here… a film that takes place in a hospital room full of severely wounded and dying soldiers, with most of the story told through flashbacks and memories.
The movie is also great in how it shows how the madness escalates… starting off with something small, but then—step by step—escalates into a furious war situation where the most unbelievable atrocities become normal. Do you think you’re immune to this kind of narrow-mindedness? I see it all around me every day. This war mentality is in the air. And now Europe is building up a huge military infrastructure—the same NATO that loves to rush into troubled areas and always thinks bombing is the best solution, just like what happened to Yugoslavia.

SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA

A series of socially engaged movies, screened once a month on Thursdays. Touching on such hot topics as immigration, homelessness, racism, education, radical gender propositions, the pandemic and gentrification, these films not only explore visionary politics, but are also chosen to stir our imagination and creativity. The essence of cinema is the collective experience, and these screenings are aimed at creating intimate communities again in an increasingly hectic and fragmented world.

Sophie Straat album release
2025-10-03 21:00 - 23:59 | Dokzaal
Protestzangeres Sophie Straat maakte een bliksemstart van haar carrière mee. Debuut EP ’T Is Niet Mijn Schuld’ (2020) won een Edison en voor debuutalbum ‘Smartlap Is Niet Dood’ (2023) volgden nominaties voor 3FM Awards, Edisons en de Amsterdamprijs voor de Kunst.
EP ‘Gebroken Spiegels’ kwam in 2024 uit en bestaat uit één lang lied, opgenomen met het Metropole Orkest, volgens De Groene Amsterdammer “zeldzaam groots opgezet en gedurfd”. Binnen een paar jaar groeide Sophie Straat zo uit tot “het boegbeeld van de generatie twintigers die maatschappelijk betrokken is” (-Volkskrant) en verzamelde haar muziek meer dan vijftien miljoen streams.
De band maakte indruk op festivals van ITGWO tot BKS en van Wildeburg tot Lowlands en Pukkelpop (BE), maar ook met uitverkochte clubtours en eigen festival Protestfest; al twee jaar op rij in een volledig uitverkocht Paradiso, Amsterdam (deel 3 op 10 mei 2025).

Naast haar muziek maakt Sophie als multidisciplinair kunstenaar ook artwork, foto’s en films, zoals korte film ‘Mooier Als Je Lacht’ die om drie albumsongs draait.
Sophie Straat is hier om iets te vertellen met haar protestliederen, met als uiteindelijke doel om verandering teweeg te brengen. Want de wereld is kut en wordt alleen nog maar kutter, maar “de revolutie is niet meer te stoppen” (-De Standaard, BE).

Bang voor communisme, bang voor de Islam,
bang voor nieuwe tijden, dit kun je sowieso niet aan.
Ik wil zeggen dat het goed komt, maar denk eigenlijk van niet
Ik ben angstig voor de toekomst want ik zie alleen verdriet
Ze zeggen dat blaffende honden niet bijten, maar dat geloof ik niet
Want de stillen zijn de klos en er is niemand die het ziet.

FILM (SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA)
SKUPLJACI PERJA 1967
(I even met Happy Gypsies)
Directed by Aleksandar Petrović
85 minutes
Serbo-Croatian and Romani with english subtitles

This is considered to be one of the crucial ‘black wave’ movies coming out of Yugoslavia in the 1960s. These movies wanted to explore new ground and taboo topics. This one, in particular, centers on the lives of the Romani/gypsy community…. A community of people creating their own world outside of our well-regulated society. Unlike the films of Tony Gatlif and Emir Kusturica, this flick isn’t a colorful depiction of this community, but instead throws us into their everyday life in the Serbian countryside, but in a deeply rich way.
If the black-wave films from this era were anything, they were unsentimental, and their freshness and vitality comes from fully engaging with life on all levels. This film is filled with harsh realities, but also incredibly tender moments – it is lush, swirling with passion, and always riveting. The main character in many ways isn’t even likable… and he is not someone you are meant to identify with. This movie is more like a road trip that you have been privileged to take, where you meet unusual people you are touched by, not because you identify with someone, but rather because an incredible world unfolds. The film is like a breeze from the south, and for me it even has a kind of almost pagan mood. One of the most important movies to come out of former Yugoslavia, a real gem in terms of reflecting on, and capturing, the vitality of life.
It’s the kind of film that takes you by the collar and drags you into another world – one of ecstasy, harshness, poetry, poverty, real dilemmas, and magic. It won the Academy Award for best foreign film in 1967, Best Foreign Film Oscar in 1967 and the Special Jury Prize at Cannes.
SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA

A series of socially engaged movies, screened once a month on Thursdays. Touching on such hot topics as immigration, homelessness, racism, education, radical gender propositions, the pandemic and gentrification, these films not only explore visionary politics, but are also chosen to stir our imagination and creativity. The essence of cinema is the collective experience, and these screenings are aimed at creating intimate communities again in an increasingly hectic and fragmented world.

TRANSCRIPT x MOLK image!
2025-10-10 19:30 - 22:00 | Dokzaal
TRANSCRIPT is a seasonal literary magazine, featuring literary essays, short stories, poetry, and everything in-between, edited by Daniël van der Winden and Iris Cuppen. ISSUE FOUR was printed in an edition of 100 copies, featuring writing and visual contributions by Andrea Chapela, Ella Frears, Jan van Tienen, Nicholas Jeeves, and Ade Hanft. On
TRANSCRIPT was born out of a desire to capture what has been said, or what has roughly been said; to copy what we hear, so we can hear again; to create an echo. Or, as Georges Perec wrote in Species of Spaces (1973): “to write: to try meticulously to retain something, to cause something to survive; to wrest a few precise scraps from the void as it grows, to leave somewhere a furrow, a trace, a mark or a few signs.”
Iris and Daniël will give an introduction to the magazine, followed by readings by Jan van Tienen and Henrik Kongsvoll Johansen, as well as a short intermezzo by Thomas & Jurgen. It will be possible to buy the fourth edition of TRANSCRIPT at the event.

​Transcript:
​Edited and designed by Iris Cuppen & Daniël van der Winden, TRANSCRIPT was born out of a desire to capture what has been said, or what has roughly been said; to copy what we hear, so we can hear again; to create an echo. Or, as Georges Perec wrote in Species of Spaces (1973): “to write: to try meticulously to retain something, to cause something to survive; to wrest a few precise scraps from the void as it grows, to leave somewhere a furrow, a trace, a mark or a few signs.”
​
​Molk:
​A collective of artists based in Amsterdam in process of revamping the Chicago record label MOLK that Frank Rosaly initiated in 2005. In addition, MOLK Factory creates a space that invites and offers a broader spectrum of initiatives and projects:

​MOLK Records: Digital releases, Cassettes, LPs, livestreams and a collection of new music and video work.

​MOLK Sessions: LIVE performative, sonic and visual work in our physical studio at Plantage Dok, in the center of Amsterdam.

​We aim to be home for the work of ourselves and peer artists from around the world who share our vision.
​
​Maiami:

​Maiami is an artist drawn to the tactile world of analogue print making. Her practice thrives on experimentation. For this particular print, she gave new life to discarded materials. She used recycled images, leftover patterns, and unused elements from previous works to make a composition about capturing and recording time. By repurposing what was once removed or overlooked, Maiami created a layered narrative of repetition and reinvention in which every print holds an echo of its past.
