De School
This is also a great location for a techno party! The bicycle shed of an old high school was converted into a dark underground club “De School”. In addition to the bicycle shed, many other parts of the old school building have been converted, including a restaurant, gym and art rooms. As one of the three lucky people in Amsterdam, the School is a holder of a 24-hour permit and therefore does not have to take into account legal closing times. The School can be seen as a kind of Dutch variant of Berghain in Berlin. The club is dark with only a few spots and strobes, taking pictures and videos is prohibited, the atmosphere is very open and… last but not least the music is “underground”. In De School, the club programming is mainly devoted to electronic music. This means pure techno and house. The DJs are eclectic all-rounders who know how to combine the most diverse styles in their DJ sets. Think of disco, soul, funk, urban. And a nice detail to know: a very extensive Funktion One sound system has been installed in De School. More details?
