THE OTHER SIDE: Club in Houthavens, Amsterdam
The Other Side is a club and event space in a former bicycle workshop on the Rigakade in Amsterdam's Houthavens. People go for electronic music played through an immersive sound system that surrounds the dancefloor, in a main room that holds 1,000. The system is L-ISA, from L-Acoustics, set up in a 14.1.5 layout around the audience. The club counts itself among a small group of venues worldwide with this technology, and it uses it for more than DJ sets: the programme includes spatial live concerts and immersive listening sessions. Nights range from house and techno to queer pop parties, and some programmes run in the daytime. Doeshka Vrede and Jasper Löwik founded the venue, which grew from a plan made during the pandemic into a working club with a focus on artists and community. It opens per event, so there are no regular hours: the programme on the website gives the times, and tickets are sold there too. The club is cards-only, you have to use a locker for coats and bags, and visitors are asked to come by bike or public transport. The nearest stops are Haparandaweg and Archangelkade for bus 48, and Zaanstraat for bus 22 and night bus N81.
