After last summer’s unforgettable vibe, we’re back for another explosive edition of Funkin’4 Splendor — a one-of-a-kind jam session where musicians and dancers share the stage in pure improvisation. Funky, soulful, experimental — and always full of surprises.
Our appetiser of Summer Dance Forever
A day before Summer Dance Forever kicks off at Paradiso (Aug 19), we’re throwing this independent jam to show love for the global dance community already arriving in Amsterdam. At our latest edition, we witnessed mind-blowing dancers and spontaneous collabs that still echo in our memories. This year, we invite all dancers, musicians, and DJs — whether it’s your first time or you’re returning — to help spark the magic again.
MC of the evening: Jiv the Chief, come jam with us. Come vibe with us. Be part of something raw and real. The doors open 19:45 and the Jam starts at 20:30–00:00. Full artist lineup coming soon.
Open call for artists: Want to join the jam as a dancer, musician or DJ? Drop us a line with a short intro: funkin4holland@gmail.com
