Who's Playing: Seth Troxler, Apollonia, Martinez Brothers, Kerri Chandler, Black Coffee & more
What's Special: After another colossal season at DC-10 in Ibiza, the Circoloco crew will descend on Amsterdam to show the Dutch how they get down. The line-up is actually a complete joke. There's isn't really any notable name in house and techno that's been left out. It's pretty remarkable. It's always a sure-fire good time with this crew so let the likes of Troxler, Chandler and the Martinez Brothers take you to your happy place.

Where: Kinetisch Noord, Tt. Neveritaweg 15; 1033 Amsterdam-Noord; Amsterdam;
Who's Playing: Paco Osuna, Paul Ritch, Monika Kruise, DJ Rush, The Advent, Raresh, Rhadoo, Praslea
What's Special: As if the fact Amsterdam is turned into the world's biggest clubbing festival for a week isn't big enough, there's another festival within the festival: Festival Inception. Dockyard takes over all of Saturday and boasts one hell of a line-up in one of the nicest spots in the city. You've got your slamming techno from DJ Rush, The Advent and Paul Ritch and then there's an entire stage for the RPR crew. Those Romanian hotshots will be soothing any hangovers you've got by this point so head to that stage for the best tunes of the day.

What: Warp x Lucky Me
Where: Paradiso, Weteringschans 6; 1017 Binnenstad; Amsterdam
Who's Playing: Squarepusher, Evian Christ, Darkstar, Bambounou, Eclair Fifi
What's Special: At the end of last year we travelled to Amsterdam for the Bromance party at Paradiso. Naturally it was an epic rave with huge tunes but what really struck us was just how good the venue was. Picture a church-like space with towering ceilings, majestic chandeliers and a maze-like complex underneath. It's a sight to behold and that coupled with the mind-bending Squarepusher and Evian Christ, it's gonna be a mind-fuck of epic proportions. Warp and Lucky Me always do the business, this night will be no different.

What's Special: The newly-opened W Amsterdam hasn't spared any expense for their grand reveal. All week they've got some massive artists playing like Claptone and Detroit Swindle but for the Saturday night party we've teamed up to bring you another stream. We'll be recording the incredible Miss Kittin while sets from Kabale und Liebe and Lauhaus and our boy Funster should warm you up nicely. What's more, it's free! Hold tight.
