EXPANSIONS returns to Amsterdam.
After an unforgettable edition at OT301 nine months ago, we're back on Friday, 4 September for another journey through the full spectrum of Drum & Bass.
Rooted in underground culture and built around community, experimentation and sound system energy, EXPANSIONS brings together a diverse lineup of artists from the UK, Venezuela and the Netherlands, uniting long-standing names with a new generation of DJs and MCs helping shape the future of the scene.
From jungle foundations and deep atmospheric rollers to liquid, tech, neuro and heavyweight dancefloor pressure, each artist brings their own perspective, creating a night that explores every corner of Drum & Bass while staying true to its roots.
Expect deep bass, rolling breaks, timeless selections and a few surprises along the way. Some things are better experienced than explained.
