Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
Walter Griot
Berlin DJ rooted in Senegalese griot percussion
Based in Berlin, Germany · Plays most in Berlin
His own pages tie him to African percussion, house and techno, so the sets should lean on drums, hand percussion and warm, propulsive club rhythms. The MOSOM/RISE showcase framing points to an Afro house night, so expect groove-first programming rather than big-room theatrics.
More about Walter Griot
Walter Griot is part of RISE, the Berlin collective/label built around African house, cosmopolitan roots and social-justice framing. He also runs MAAYA in Berlin, so he moves between DJing, curation and venue-building inside the same ecosystem.
A story
