Informatie
Pakhuis is dance music, art, good food, a special location and mixing crowds. A festival like no other.
In recent years, fragmentation and commercialization have thrown the city of Rotterdam – with its rich history in electronic dance music – back into a state of dullness and monotony. Pakhuis is based upon a collaboration of different organizations, with different styles, that share the same enthusiasm.
Pakhuis is breaking the silence in Rotterdam's nightlife, offering a chance to talented artists and their innovative and creative organizations, providing each of them with a healthy platform to do their own thing. Pakhuis is currently the most remarkable initiative to revitalize Rotterdam's electronic dance scene. Pakhuis presents the dance public with a variety of dance music and offers its participants a chance for networking, co-operation and a possibility to work together with like-minded people.
One of our core principles is that quality doesn't have to be pricey. The bigger names in the 'Dance Industry" (and we don't like the sound of that word) keep demanding more and more, leaving less and less for all other aspects that make up a good party. One of those, of course, is the location. Pakhuis Festival Rotterdam is held in vast monumental warehouse complex named 'WHT" or 'Westelijk Handelsterrein", which has a central street, connecting adjoining units on both sides. During Pakhuis Festival nights these smaller areas are converted into club rooms and a chill-out for one night. The central street serves as a meeting place to eat, drink, smoke, have conversations: offering time and space to chill and socialize – a practice that has been disappearing in modern day club life.
A fixed part of the Pakhuis Festival formula is an all you can eat organic dinner at top restaurant level for just € 6,-. This offers the opportunity to the public to meet and greet the artists, and start the evening with their friends without having to cook.
Take a look around our website: you'll find video's, artist backgrounds and DJ-sets, many interesting links, information about our partners and other info.
In the future: more Pakhuis to come!
