ADE 2014: Discover Amsterdam's intimate ADE venue OT301

 Located at the Overtoom (301) this venue is perfect for those who prefer small scale and intimate parties over massive ones.

OT301's building used to be a film academy. When it closed the local council planned to break it down and build a new bicycle path. The current owners had a better plan and squatted the building in 1999 and would officially buy it a few years later. During the last decade they've created a nonprofit platform for subculture where artists could live and work together to program experimental, new and alternative art, music, film, dance, theatre, a vegan restaurant, workshops and club nights without commercial interference.

Many describe OT301 as a place where you can let your hair down and just dance. As a result the OT301 attracts a diverse crowd.

OT301 has hosted a lot of underground nights with small labels and collectives at ADE in the past but also threw a legendary party with Dekmantel with techno legend Jeff Mills in 2012 and the Ostgut Ton showcase in 2013. Check out what OT301 has in store in the ADE week:
