Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Dusky move between warm, rolling house and stripped warehouse techno. The set at Shelter should sit in that middle ground: sturdy drums, low-slung bass, and the kind of melodic hooks they’ve used since Stick By This.

More about Dusky

Nick Harriman and Alfie Granger-Howell built their name in London’s house and techno circuit, with early releases on labels tied to the deeper end of UK club music. Stick By This came out on Anjunadeep in 2011, and the duo have stayed a reference point for melodic-but-functional dance music ever since.
