PRESS PLAY

Press Play is an event series where we gather in a relaxed atmosphere to listen to music and sound together and chat about its significance and its context. It's not just about the beats and melodies, but also about the background - the history and culture that have shaped them. We delve into various genres and explore how they have influenced the world around us. From underground scenes to mainstream, from political movements to environmental issues like ecology - nothing is off limits. We discuss feminism, rebellion, migration, and how all of that resonates in music. We have guests from Amsterdam and even farther afield! Musicians, podcasters, DJs, and all sorts of creatives from the scene are invited to curate their favorite playlists.

We take a look at how music has influenced and continues to influence our world. Is pop culture a guide to a better world or simply a reflection of what's happening around us? We ponder if there's a universal language of music and what it looks like. How are artists perceived who swim against the current? It's about exploring, discussing, and dreaming together. Are you in? Let's press play together and discover what the world of music has in store for us!
