We have spent the week basking in the glow from the second episode of Hazy Days. Our fine purveyors of tunes drew us into another captivating musical journey, delivering a deeply uplifting sonic landscape.

The positive vibrations from you showing up and getting down have left us in awe. The hazy energy is brewing and making us hungry for more. No better way to close out a weekend with so much creative expression - from the dancers to the DJs, to everyone else who made this second edition so special.

This is only the beginning. Hazy Days will return to the Benelux on Sunday, December 6th. Save the date & stay tuned 🌼

Our next artist going “Through The Haze” is another standout feature of Hazy Days episode 2.

Daan Donk has been making strides through Amsterdam and beyond, championing underground sounds and bolstering the culture through his events and the Tale of Bus records store and community space. It marks a new chapter in his mission to nurture the rave spirit in contemporary contexts. This mobile record shop is not just a store, but a moving embodiment of Daan’s desire to connect with the community, sharing his passion for vinyl and providing a platform for musical exploration where sound takes center stage.

We welcome this true musical stalwart to the Hazy Days family and look forward to getting down to his choice selections.

My third @dimensionsfestival in a row. Each one special in its own way, and no two ever the same.

This year, The Haze was easily my favorite stage. Trippy sounds, an intimate and immersive atmosphere, hypnotic slow-moving grooves, and the feeling of stepping into a little world of its own 🛸Music that pulls you in and keeps you there. But what I valued most were the new musical discoveries 🖤

My taste has changed a lot since my first Dimensions two years ago, and this little stage felt like a pretty close reflection of where I’m at musically now - the kind of music I want to hear, dance to, and get lost in 🌀

What to say about Dimensions… but especially The Haze. I’ve been lucky enough to call that my sanctuary and purpose.
This year was on another level. From the level up on decor… to having none other than Boris and his sound system @borissoundsystem as our personal sound, it was something special. That warm sounding orange glow instantly makes it feel like my home. 🧡

The artist, their homies, the dancers, the chillers, the talks and guests, the many wonderful people I got to meet and look after. A serious joy and pleasure and I have never come back from Tisno feeling so calm, content and fulfilled. Every moment was pure joyful big Hazey HUG. ❤️

Huge thanks to @hamish__cole @patrickforrester_ @emabadurina @meeshraveo, to all the slickest working team and everyone person who stepped behind the decks, in that dancefloor or just at the glowful edge to watch in awe. 🫶🏼✨… sorry I couldn’t squeeze all in to 20 shots 🫣

Brothers and sisters of the ravenous spirit,
After a little break, this Friday the Tobana temple opens its garage doors once again.

Our bi-weekly coming together — a place for much-needed hangs, good food and deep spins.

Returning to the kitchen is The Jamaican Eight, serving up a food pop-up with flavours you may or may not have tasted before. Come hungry, leave amazed.

Behind the magic wheels of fortune, a line-up of old friends who shine bright in their own right.

Friday hangs & spins, serving you a slice of paradise 🌴

See you Friday.

ToB returns to Doka for a special end-of-summer jam.

Touching down in our second home: the Doka Dojo, our favourite sound basement in Amsterdam.
A place where we’ve spent countless hours on the dance floor, diving deep into all kinds of sonic treats.

For this one, we finally welcome Madrid-born DJ and producer Sugar Free. She never played for us before, but sat at the very top of our wishlist for a long time.

A solid four-point Danley sound system will carry us through the night.

Daan Donk sets the tone before handing over to Sugar Free.

Join us this end of summer night for some musical exploration, with a little extra sugar on top.

Early birds are already sold out. Remaining tickets via the link in bio.

See you on the 18th💚
