Party Earth Review: As a non-profit organization, Studio 80 is dedicated to giving up-and-coming DJs the opportunity to showcase their talents and spin side-by-side with well-known music artists. But besides the venue’s altruistic aims, Studio 80 is also considered Amsterdam’s “it” place for techno and minimal electronic music. Nearly hidden among the touristy Rembrandtplein cafés, the club’s discreet and narrow black façade is mostly identifiable by the ropes that form the entrance line. The high-ceilinged main room is just down the hall and features a vast open area with bright, flashing club lights and dance platforms randomly placed around the perimeter of the floor, while further back is a second room that can hold an equally immense crowd of clubbers. DJs from London to Berlin spin tunes in booths located above the dancers as the spirited and electrifying crowd of techno junkies and DJ lovers moves to the beat or grabs some refreshment at one of the two bars. The various events, party nights, and theme nights at Studio 80 ensure that, while the club may have a slight underground feel, the vibe is never too extreme or directed at a niche audience – a philosophy that accounts for the mixed clientele the club attracts. What seems most important here is that the atmosphere remain welcoming and open-minded and that techno enthusiasts return again and again for the energetic music and environment Studio 80 prides itself on.

Studio 80 Review

Tip from Jonah:

“This is a techno club that prefers to grant entrance mainly to patrons genuinely interested in the music. The doorman will fill you in on what music will be going on that night, so you can decide whether it’s something you’re up for before paying the cover charge.”
