TARE Invites at OT301 Amsterdam

Alberta Balsam: Deeply embedded in the Rotterdam club scene, Alberta Balsam has crafted a distinctive, impressively technical and imaginatively rich style. With releases on eminent labels such as Dekmantel and Clone, she draws on the space-age signifiers of early electronica, the techy, trippy vibes of 1990s IDM, and her love of science-fiction. Having trained as an epidemiologist, the theme of care reverberates through her music. Crucially, she regards dance as medicine. A primordial remedy to sustain our interconnected existence. TARE: A passionate vinyl enthusiast and seeker of fresh sonic textures, TARE sets are crafted with precision, emotion, and a strong narrative flow. After years of collecting records, organizing events, and curating intimate dance experiences, Alfonso has developed a refined and distinctive sound. His approach behind the decks reflects a deep sensitivity to atmosphere, tension, and movement, always with a clear sense of progression. He has performed on local radio stations such as Operator (Rotterdam), Relate Radio (Groningen), and Birdcage Radio (Utrecht), as well as clubs including TILLATEC (Amsterdam), OT301 (Amsterdam), and Mono (Rotterdam). Each performance is a carefully constructed journey, inviting listeners to connect, immerse, and lose themselves in sound. Sun of a pitch: Sun Of A Pitch is Saul Wrights modular synth–driven evolution of his 1990s techno roots. Fusing breakbeats, IDM, and Berlin School influences, he crafts a dynamic blend of timeless sequences, ambient textures, and reimagined drum patterns. Live performance elements add an organic edge to the controlled chaos, creating a fresh and immersive soundscape. His music reflects a philosophical imagination inspired by Greek mythology and the idea that we are all ultimately one with God—the source of love. Sometimes techno, sometimes ambient—but always somewhere in between. Digital Warlock: Digital Warlock delivers a raw electro vinyl set rooted in pure underground energy. No gimmicks, no compromises—just sharp machine grooves, cold basslines, and stripped-down analog pressure straight from the wax. A selection built for dark rooms and late hours.
