An evening of disturbance, unsettled sounds, warped club tunes and ambience. All of the acts and DJs on this line up exist in-between genres, interested in the overlaps and gaps between club environments and sound art.

AMEK collective recently celebrated ten years of experimentation in their home city, Sofia. Two of the label’s most prominent producers, Mytrip and Evitceles, play Amsterdam for the first time as part of MusicMap’s debut Showcase event. Alongside them will be three Amsterdam based acts who will be bringing their own brands of play/experimentation/selection.

This evening of cross-border exchange is brought to you by MusicMap, a platform dedicated to let you discover the world one track at a time. We’ve been tracking the Bulgarian ambient and drone scene, interviewing AMEK collective in the process, and also highlighting key labels and artists based in the Netherlands, since our inception in 2016.
