A thrilling new location on the Dekmantel Festival map, this summer it all begins with three nights at Het HEM. Taking over Zaandam’s former ammunitions factory turned art and culture centre for a full weekend, Dekmantel Ten includes a kick-off concert, a night of time-transcending techno, and a nocturnal exploration of house music and its contemporary offshoots.

On the festival’s opening night, Het HEM plays host to rave revivalists Bicep and their dazzling audio-visual show CHROMA. Rounding out the weekend are two additional nights at Het HEM, one devoted to techno’s dark underbelly, with artists like Luke Slater, Aurora Halal, SPFDJ, Oscar Mulero and Mala Junta’s D. Dan, Hyperaktivist & DJ TOOL, and the other to the timeless joy of house music, courtesy of such acts as Avalon Emerson, Young Marco, DJ Python, Hunee & Orpheu The Wizard, JASSS and Shanti Celeste.
