Full brand, motion and identity for this year's Amsterdam Dance Event campaign at Parallel / Paradiso. Built around Parallel's signature cube, the motion system scales effortlessly from digital to print, dynamic enough to frame every artist, line up and timetable across the festival's program. From digital metro screens to posters across Amsterdam, the identity extends as a living rhythm of the Parallel club experience.

Introducing: the first Boel & Ambras show ever! This is what happens when two friends with a love of both beer and music get to combine their favourite hobbies. Vinyl all the way, draft beers & good vibes only. Come see the (free!) show, this Sunday 15.02 from 16.00h at the @walhallacraftbeer brewpub: Asterweg 2 in Amsterdam-Noord. Kisses, B&A.

New show! 🎉 Super happy to welcome the 80s punk legends from California @mia.punk.band to Amsterdam on Thursday 23 April! 😎 Forged in the desert of Las Vegas, Nevada in 1980, M.I.A. migrated the next year to Southern California, becoming part of the OC punk scene with their own brand of melodic hardcore that evolved over four studio albums. After a 1983 show supporting the Dead Kennedys, the band made a deal with Jello Biafra to release their next LP, Murder in a Foreign Place, on Alternative Tentacles (1984). With two interim national tours, Notes From the Underground was the 1985 followup, recorded with legendary producer Thom Wilson (National Trust). Their final album, After the Fact, was released in 1987 (Flipside), with another national tour. ⚡️ @bleaknesspunk draws its influences from English post-punk and Californian death rock of the 1980s, blending them with the intensity and urgency of the contemporary punk/hardcore scene. The result: a dark post-punk sound, both energetic and melancholic, that revisits the atmosphere and rebellious spirit of the pre-gothic scenes while injecting a dose of punk rage. ⚡️ @ritesritesrites is a five piece hardcore/punk band from the south of the Netherlands. DIY, 80’s nostalgia, vinyl and fast guitars: that’s Rites. With five releases including the new record No Change Without Me and over 130 (international) shows to their name, this hardcorepunk outfit is just getting started. Rites is not afraid to speak up about the current state of the world. Influenced by bands such as The Distillers, Dag Nasty and Drug Church, Rites presents high energy hardcore with a punkrock twist. ⚡️ Pre-sale is on - link in bio! Poster by @gutter__gutter 🫡

01 of 2025: SHARON VAN ETTEN — Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory My favourite album of the year goes to Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory. It might come as a surprise to some, but I’ve loved this record since it dropped at the beginning of February. While it’s technically her seventh album, it’s the first made with the new Attachment Theory band, and it dives into topics as human connection, love, mortality, and that constant search for meaning when everything feels a bit unstable. An album I kept coming back to all year and therefore my number 1 of 2025. Favourite song: Trouble Animation made in @cavalry.app and font by @kimeracorp Happy new year and thank you for following along!

02 of 2025: VIAGRA BOYS — Viagr Aboys Second favourite album of the year goes to the Swedish Shrimpenterprise Viagra Boys with their fourth record called Viagr Aboys (maybe the best wordplay of 2025?!). It's absurd, funny but sharp and production fully on point. Favourite song: Waterboy Animation made in @cavalry.app , font by @collletttivo

03 of 2025: DEAFHEAVEN — Lonely People With Power Third pick for my favourite albums of the year goes to California-based band Deafheaven and their sixth album Lonely People With Power. An absolute powerhouse that feels like a perfect balance between the raw intensity of their 2013 classic record Sunbather and their more recent shoegaze-driven sound: a direction I honestly didn’t expect them to return to. Had a blast (quite literally) listening to this throughout the year. Favourite song: Magnolia Animation made in @cavalry.app , fonts by @collletttivo and @blazetype
