For our next listening session on the 7th of June, we’ve invited Christiana and Leslie, the duo behind @1.06library
Their archive focuses on physical media and spans records and CDs of all kinds, across genres such as funk, soul, R&B, highlife, roots, reggae, and everything in between, with the aim of stimulating, educating, and enlightening curious minds and supporters of music.
Since 2021, they’ve been showcasing music on their show 1.06 Radio on @echoboxradio , which we highly recommend checking out. We’re proud to welcome them to Gr8 @paard_denhaag for a deeper dive into their collection and perspective. We’re curious to hear what they’ll bring, and you should be too.
Come join us on Sunday the 7th to listen more consciously and learn together. 💆🏽♀️🪴
June 7th, 19:00-23:30.

D&D in full effect!
Different angles, deeper cuts, brought together by people who genuinely care about the music. Since it’s our anniversary we had to add familiar faces in the mix.
1.06 Library 📚
Back with us since way back: from the early radio days to club nights in 2018. Years later, 1.06 Library has grown into a full-on listening experience, rooted in physical formats and deep selection. Expect a fully vinyl-driven set, pulling across genres and eras, with records you don’t get to hear on the daily!
Bevan
Family affair. You might’ve seen his fingerprints in some of the early words around PARDON, now stepping into the booth himself! Bevan brings a sound shaped by years of digging: Vocal-led garage house, soul, boogie, all stitched together with warmth and knowledge of a veteran. A selector who plays what he feels, rather than following trends.
Idilay
From classical violin training to finding her lane on the dancefloor, Idilay’s sets carry a strong sense of storytelling. We were immediate fans when we saw her move through different types of house, breaks and acid with ease. Her love for electronic music started on the PARDON dancefloor, full circle much?
Sandor Dayala
Artist, label founder of PLAZA and long-time selector from Agga with some serious hours behind the decks. We know him for a wide-ranging taste and instinct for the right record at the right time. Expect unexpected selections, a loving energy, and a set that feels intimate until the very last min of the night.
Catch you IIIIIIInside on the 29th! We can’t wait 💖
On Saturday May 2nd, @1.06library is kicking off our two day festival @tolhuistuin with a vinyl listening session.

Disco Diaspora returns on Saturday, February 28, at @mezrab_ with 𝓢𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓷 𝓡𝓮𝔀𝓲𝓷𝓭 🇸🇷 Curated by @1.06library and Jumanne (@pokoemonster ), this audiovisual dance party brings together music videos from the Surinamese and Surinamese-Dutch archive, tracing its evolution from the 1970s to today. Get ready to celebrate the beats, visuals, and energy of Surinamese-Dutch culture on the dance floor. Ticketlink is in bio.
Surinamese-Dutch people form one of the largest migrant groups in the Netherlands. Following Suriname’s independence in 1975, a significant wave of migration brought many Surinamese to the former colonial metropole. This migration carried a diverse and vibrant, and historically layered, transatlantic music culture that has deeply influenced Dutch popular media and cultural imagination. From archival recordings in the Bijlmer to mainstream television and music platforms, Surinamese Dutch artists and communities have played a crucial role in shaping the Dutch entertainment industry and its soundscape.
Sranan Rewind pays tribute to this rich history and to what it reveals about the Netherlands and the relationship between the diaspora and the multi-ethnic homeland. The program features music videos made in the Netherlands and Suriname by Creole, Hindustani, Indigenous, Javanese, and Chinese communities. By bringing together archival material often scattered across fragmented platforms, it emphasizes the cultural importance of the Surinamese archive for the Netherlands and beyond. It offers a view of the past that is not marginal, but rooted in a collective present and in future sonic and decolonial imaginaries.

Café Wu x Sichuan Amsterdam
Op ADE-zaterdag sluiten we de week af met een spicy samenwerking met een van de langstbestaande OG Sichuan-restaurants van de stad: Sichuan Amsterdam.
Deze avond staat in het teken van een four hands dinner, waarbij klassieke Sichuan-gerechten worden gecombineerd met creaties van Café Wu, en we samen een menu creëren waarin de twee culinaire stijlen naadloos in elkaar overvloeien.
Muzikaal wordt de avond begeleid door de dames van 1.06 Music Library, met een selectie van smooth soul, R&B, hiphop en funkplaten.
