Tales From the Echobox

Echobox

<h1>Echobox&#8217;s zine &#8216;UNBOX&#8217; is coming back for another edition this year.</h1>
<h2>The theme of this issue is “5 years from now”. As 2026 will be the year Echobox turns 5, we are taking this opportunity to reflect on how we got here and where we are going. 
We’ve invited our residents, family and friends to be part of it and submit their own interpretation of the theme, like ageing and growing, visions for the future (either 5 years from now or beyond), community building, Amsterdam, radio, Echobox.</h2>
UNBOX will include written features, poetry, interviews, artwork and photography and more.
As Echobox Radio turns five in 2026, we are reflecting on how we got here &#8211; and where we are going. The theme is open to interpretation and might touch on:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Ageing and growth</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Future visions (five years ahead or beyond)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Community building</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Amsterdam</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Radio culture</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Echobox</li>
</ul>
We welcome pitches for essays, interviews, poetry, artwork, photography, recipes, and more. Family members &amp; makers know how to find us before the 22nd of March.
<h3>Background 
In 2025, Echobox Radio launched UNBOX, a publication to celebrate our station, scene and city. UNBOX will be a yearly publication with contributions from the Echobox team, makers, our partners and listeners. The zine provides us with a chance to produce a physical document celebrating what we do, which will be distributed for free to the Echobox Family.</h3>
UNBOX will include written features, interviews, artwork and photography. All content must relate to the station, city or radio.

The second edition of Echobox’ zine UNBOX is coming up

<h1>On Friday, March 27, Echobox Presents enters a new chapter.</h1>
<h1>Since the early days of Echobox, Echobox Presents has been our monthly takeover: a moment where we invite DJs and artists from Amsterdam and beyond to step into the booth and showcase their sound on our airwaves. Every month we host three selectors, spanning emerging talent to established names, each bringing their own perspective to the broadcast.</h1>
<h3>For the first time ever, Echobox Presents will now be broadcast live with video and only streamable at our own website.</h3>
Streaming straight from the Spätkauf at Oedipus, this new format opens up the experience beyond radio. What was once purely an audio broadcast will now become a fully visible session &#8211; bringing the atmosphere of the booth, the records, and the people behind the decks directly to the screen.
The format remains the same at its core: three DJs, one evening, and a wide spectrum of sounds rooted in the Echobox community and beyond. But now, listeners will also be able to step inside the room and witness the sessions as they unfold.
Artist announcements will follow soon via our social channels. Expect a mix of familiar voices from the airwaves and fresh faces stepping into the Echobox booth.
<h3>Starting March 27, you won’t just hear Echobox Presents &#8211; you’ll see it.</h3>
&nbsp;

First ever video stream with Echobox Presents - open for public

<h1>For the fourth year in a row, we’re back at Oyster festival with Joygail radio. On 14th of March, we will broadcast live from Melkweg, showcasing fresh grime, R&amp;B and hip-hop from 18:00-23:00.Finessekid, Ledbyher, Tia Gordon, kwes e &amp; BXKS are ready to drill down the airwaves.</h1>
<h3>Joy will be on your airwaves all day with music, performances and exclusive interviews with the artists above.</h3>

<h1>AMBIT &#8211; the scope, extent, or bounds of something. </h1>
<h2><a href="https://garagenoord.weticket.io/echonow-afsluit-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AMBIT</a> will showcase the scope of crafts of the seven makers in the <a href="https://nowhere.nl/events/ambit-echonow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Echonow</a> program and the way they have developed their artistic practice over the past ten months at Garage Noord on the 5th of March.</h2>
The club night marks the moment where Rumi Jill, Tamacoochies, North Not South, Victor de Groot, Amber Heijkers &amp; Nina Herdigein will step out of the shadows and take up their spot in night life. A space to discover new talents, converse, but most importantly dance and celebrate.
<h1>Thursday 5th of March 2026, from 21.00 – 03.00</h1>
Garage Noord
Early tickets: €5,-
Regular tickets: €7,50
<a href="https://garagenoord.weticket.io/echonow-afsluit-party">Tickets</a>
<h3>// Bar40 // 21.00 &#8211; 03.00</h3>
Bar40 will be hosted and curated by Nina Herdigein with DJ sets from Pr1n6666r1r1, Toya, Jason &amp; Rumi Jill. Nina’s curation is defined by good music that makes you move before you even realize you are. Drawing from previous concepts, the room will be filled with variations of house, afro beats, hip-hop, dancehall, baile funk, reggaeton, finishing with a more electronic twist.
The vision behind the curation, and therefore the lineup, is a celebration of local talent. Every set highlights what makes each DJ unique, creating a night for and by one another.
<h3>// Garage // 23.30 &#8211; 03.00</h3>
Downstairs becomes its own world. North Not South takes over with a live set, Amber Heijkers brings a live performance, and our DJs Chucho &amp; Tamacoochies step in blending Caribbean and Latin rhythms to further energize the space. All of this is surrounded by Victor de Groot‘s scenography, shaping the atmosphere throughout the night.

AMBIT - Echonow presents clubnight AMBIT at Garage Noord

Echobox is taking over <a href="https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/nl/bezoek/agenda-en-activiteiten/vincent-op-vrijdag">Vincent op Vrijdag</a> at the Van Gogh Museum on the 28th of November from 19:00 to 23:00.
As a place where music and people come together, we’re building a community of individuals who share the same hunger for sound, expression, and connection. Here, it’s not just about playing music, but about sending a message to the world, which is exactly what we’ll be doing on this last Friday of November. Our residents will be taking over the museum with a postcard workshop, an interactive on-location broadcast, visual art projections during the whole evening in the Big Hall, panel talks, a jingle workshop, and live music. But more importantly, they’ll be showcasing the essence of community radio.
Maybe Vincent van Gogh felt the same way we do at Echobox: the urge to build something where people and ideas come together. When he moved to Arles in 1888 to start his own artist colony, he didn’t find a community &#8211; but he did find a deep friendship with Joseph Roulin, the postman. That same spirit of friendship and collective creation is what we celebrate with our event at the Van Gogh Museum &#8211; an ode to connection, inspiration, and the people who make shared listening, discovery, and storytelling truly come alive.

Echobox is taking over Vincent op Vrijdag

Echobox Radio is excited to announce its move to a new home at Schaafstraat 21, inside Oedipus Brewery in Amsterdam-Noord. The official moving date is November 5, 2025, marking the start of an exciting new chapter.
The new Echobox studio will serve as a central community space: more open, more accessible, and designed to bring people closer to the music and conversation that define the station. Visitors will be able to check out broadcasts, connect with the team and its more than 150 radio makers, and be part of the creative energy of the Amsterdam’s grassroots cultural landscape.
“This new space represents everything Echobox stands for, it’s open, collaborative, and rooted in the community. We’re creating a space where radio isn’t hidden, it’s something people can see, hear, and be part of.” -Chalice Cox-Hynd, Echobox Co-founder
Mo Ghabri, Echobox co-founder, adds: “Moving to Oedipus in Noord is a huge step forward. It allows us to grow, increasing our broadcast hours, hosting more events, and staying connected to Amsterdam’s creative scene.”
As Echobox enters its fifth year, we are looking forward to expanding its programming and further growth.

<a href="https://www.foam.org/">Foam</a> x Echobox Radio &amp; Chinnamasta
We begin on October 22 with Foam x Echobox Radio &amp; Chinnamasta, a four-hour performance and livestream from the GVB ferry de Pont. On the waters of the IJ, sound, image, travellers and bicycles come together in a collaboration inspired by the exhibition Tapsei by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fideliofaustino/">Fidelio Faustino</a>. The route of the ferry will be announced soon, but as always it is free to join.

Later that day, São Paulo’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goptun/">Gop Tun</a> and Berlin’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/homeagain.berlin/">Home Again</a> unite for a full-day fundraiser at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/skatecafeamsterdam/">Skatecafe</a> in support of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/refugeeswelcomeinternational/">Refugees Welcome</a>, an international network providing safe housing and integration for people forced to flee. From 17:00 to 21:00, Echobox and Refuge Worldwide co-present a day programme of panels and music exploring themes of sustainability, nightlife and community.

Musical interludes from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamjcooke/">Adam Cooke</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ketama_man/">Ketama Man</a> will be broadcast live on Echobox.Radio and Refuge Worldwide. Entry to the daytime programme is free.
From 21:00 to 04:00, the focus shifts to the dancefloor. Three rooms and more than twenty artists come together, all performing without a fee to support the cause. Every ticket sold contributes directly to Refugees Welcome. Come early, stay late and be part of something meaningful.
Echobox Presents Amsterdam
The following days, from October 23 to 25, Echobox Presents Amsterdam returns for its yearly ADE showcase.

4 YEARS OF ECHOBOX AT SKATECAFE ON 26TH JULY!!!

We’re broadcasting live from the Ray-Ban Lab container in Amsterdam Noord, bringing familiar faces and special guests for special broadcasts and events over the next four weekends.
To kick-off our collaboration with Ray-Ban, we&#8217;ll have a live broadcast from our temporary second home in Amsterdam Noord and an after party from 23:00 at Kwie Kwie.
The party is 100% free, so come down to celebrate with us and our selection of DJs from the Echobox roster and beyond. Here&#8217;s a peek at the artists joining us tomorrow night.
17:00 – Rwina Lopez 
Rwina Lopez is a Dutch-Dominican self-proclaimed princesa on a mission to bring Latin Caribbean culture to the dance floor. Dembow to baile funk, and from reggaeton to bass beats.
18:00 – Wes Lee 
Wes Lee explores introspective, ancestral, deep and sensual bass- and percussion-driven electronic music, unapologetically representing the motherland.
19:00 – OISHI 
OISHI’s sound is a hypnotic fusion of femininity, deep rhythms, pxssy power and cosmic soundscapes.
20:00 – bebe bad 
Drawing on her UK roots and armed with her teddy bear USB, bebe bad crafts sets that blend playful basslines, bubbling synth textures, and a tease of techno.
21:00 – LRRY 
Amsterdam-based LRRY has developed a unique style, blending sweaty Ghetto House, Bass, Electro, and Jersey Club riddims into a mesmerizing mix.
22:00 – Eurowitch 
Eurowitch’s musical style is deeply rooted in global bass and urban Latin American genres, blending these elements to create danceable, high-energy music.
OFFLINE
23:00 – Melis Köke 
Melis Köke drops a wild mix of Tecktonik, Apaçi EDM, and Marseille trap &#8211; straight heat for lane-cutting nights. It ain’t club music, it’s tunnel music.
00:00 – Soft Break 
Rooted in the raw pulse of Rotterdam, Soft Break’s sound is shaped by echoes of jungle, dubstep, and grime &#8211; drifting from whispered melodies to percussion-heavy rhythms
01:00 – Shaun D 
Known for his bubbling sound, Shaun D brings us &#8211; next to his just released remake of ‘From Bubbling to Dutch house’ &#8211; an hour of his own: Bubbling House.
02:00 – DIORA 
Born and raised in Cape Town, now based in Amsterdam, DIORA blends deconstructed club, techno, electro, and trance into sonic stories built for the dance floor.

Echobox Presents Amsterdam '24

For a few late September days during what felt like the last of the Summer sun, NAP+ art fair took over the sprawling industrial space of Donauweg 11 with an art fair aimed at deconstructing what art fairs are. We joined for four days of music, on-location broadcasts, interviews and panels with some leading lights of the Amsterdam arts scene.
Across the three days of broadcasting, we built up 14 hours of original radio material, which is available now to listen again. Here’s a rundown of everything that went down during our live broadcast from NAP+.
Day 1: ‘Behind the Scenes’ with Rice, Peas, Roots &#038; Culture
Friday 12th September we went behind the scenes with two Echobox hosts as our intrepid guides. Marcel and Wes blur the lines between art, music and culture every month on their pan-African variety show. 
The hosts of Rice, Peas, Roots &#038; Culture, Marcel &#038; Wes, dove gave us a peek behind the curtain of the art world with conversations about transporting, the hands on nature of being an art graduate and a peek into the minds of the founders behind the whole thing.
NAP+ was founded as an antidote to formal art fairs and an ode to how they started in the 80s, focusing on emerging talent and work that challenges visitors: NAP+ founders Sara Lang &#038; David Doesburg talked us through their ‘sub-universe’. “It all started with the idea that Amsterdam needed something like this… a vibrant, alive, cool art fair” &#8211; Sara Lang. “I wouldn’t even call it an art fair! It’s by and for galleries and artists” &#8211; David Doesburg.
Punctuating Marcel and Wes’s soundtrack of soul, funk and disco-adjacent grooves was Peruvian born, Rotterdam based multi-disciplinary artist and Echobox resident with Perreo31, Sandra Zegarra Patow. The conversation felt like old friends: from the origin story of her artist name 20 Uñas, to how to navigate a relationship between art and DJing as well as the ultimate in hangover cures, followed by a DJ set of signature reggaeton and dembow. 
Important to the co-programmer of this on location broadcast, gallerist Mabel Woodley, was talking to art transporters: an often overlooked, yet crucial role in the world of art (and with some of the wildest and weirdest stories). The panel talk ‘Transportation of Art’ featured artist and transporter Bo Bosk and Joep Münstermann from the Anything is Possible art handlers, and took us through the weird, wonderful and often surprising world of art transportation. Ever wondered what makes a good replacement for breast milk in a long-term installation? Look no further! 
Plus an intimate dissection of one of the art world’s lesser discussed dynamics: that between a gallerist and an artist. Artist Tyna Adebowale and gallerist Ellen de Bruijn rounded out the day with a delicate and intimate conversation on their origin story and how important this symbiosis is.
Day 2: ‘Collectivity &#038; Navigating The Arts’ with Luke Cohlen
Saturday 14th September, Aural Conduct head-honcho and Echobox mainstay Luke Cohlen took the reins for an exploration of collectivity in the world of art, as well as some of his signature leftfield selections.
Echoing the overarching philosophy of the weekend, Luke’s experience within collectives and the art scenes of The Netherlands could not be better placed. Concerned with art as a collectivised practice, his music selections for the day also reflected this, within his signature range of leftfield, ambient, deconstructed and dark storytelling. , 
Echobox’s neighbours for the weekend, De Wasstraat, showcased 20 young artists who just graduated from school of art or the master/atelier program, presenting their work in the former car wash and ranging from films, installations to sound work and paintings. Luke sat with Félix Keslassy, a De Wasstraat artist to talk about their practice, limitation, experimental architecture and how to navigate the scene as a new graduate..
Members of Axia Maxim, the Echobox residency that recontextualises non-club music into high-energy spaces, also have their own experiences navigating the artworld with various practices.. All good friends, Luke, Elina Tapio &#038; Julia Mira discussed how to define a collective (as a ‘collective of two) as well as club sets as an art practice, before a signature Axia Maxim set: “&#8230;don’t compromise [your taste]. Experiment. Show off all of the colours that your selection carries and be proud of that.” &#8211; Elina Tapio 
Luke’s theme for the day’s panel discussion ‘Young, Grassroots: Working Together in Modern-day Art Worlds’, came from the heart. Joined by Pim Lamme, owner of the semester9 gallery, INDEBT founder Ciro Duclos, and David Kloosterboer and Benjamin Carels, curators of De Waastraat titled, the conversation dwelled on the significance of collectivity to make art accessible in an unfriendly system.
Finally, we rounded up the day with Sjoerd Hermens, Director and Curator of Rozenstraat, with a discussion of funding in the art world and the pressures that emerging artists face trying to make a living through their practice.
Day 3: ‘Arts &#038; Sound’ with Loma Doom
Sunday 14th September, we dove into the intersection of art and sound with Echobox resident, sound artist and professor Loma Doom AKA Femke Dekker. 
The day began liminally by dialing in with British, sculptor, Turner prize nominee and Tate Modern exhibitionist Delaine Le Bas to discuss her work, the importance of her Romani roots and how she uses sound in putting together her works. 
Conversely Loma’s next guest, Jonathan Castro, the graphic designer behind Dekmantel Ten and experimental music showcase Weather Report, is making art for the world of music. Long time collaborators and friends, Loma and Jonathan discussed his roots from Lima, to navigating the politics of arts studies in Amsterdam, his visual work and how it connects to his musical endeavours. Jonathan curated a unique selection of post-punk gems and psychedelic cumbia.
As a beautiful circular moment, Loma Doom was joined by two of her former students &#8211; both of whom were exhibiting at NAP+ &#8211; Femke Kamau Nganga and Heidi Holström. Both artists feature sound heavily in their artistic work and broached the question ‘When does sound become art?’ The conservation broached the sidelining of sound in art academies, and learning to appreciate the mundane sounds of everyday life, from skyscraper whistling to drunken Yorkshire drawls on airplanes.
You can listen back to all of the recordings in the Echobox archive.

3 Years of Echobox

As you may have heard, this spring we will be launching Echobox Family! For the first time, Echobox listeners will be able to become formal members of the station and help support everything we do.
This is a really important step in our journey as a station. The revenue from the membership fees will help to keep the station running, reimburse staff for their hard work and work towards being able to compensate our makers for the first time! This is a big step towards us becoming financially independent and to able to keep improving and growing for years to come.
For a fee of €4.99 a month, Family will receive:
Early access to the archive (7 days before regular listeners)
Early access + discount to events and merch
Exclusive annual events
A family-only Zine
A monthly newsletter keeping you up to date with everything going on at Echobox Radio
Family FM &#8211; the chance to submit mixes for our Sunday broadcast
Helping to keep Echobox going
40% of your monthly fee will go directly to our makers, allowing us to reimburse them for their hard work for the first time. 30% will go to our team, to help them continue to produce and promote everything we do, and the remaining 30% will contribute to the everyday running and maintenance of our studio.
Echobox is proud to give a platform to alternative and counter-cultural sounds and voices that are often excluded from mainstream platforms. Sadly, it is often difficult to monetise and support such intiatives.
By developing our community and becoming financially independent we can continue to do what we do best, making great, independent radio that champions the alternative and counter-cultural, sustainably for years to come.

We continue to witness the ongoing genocide in Gaza with a profound sense of powerlessness. The prospect of a permanent ceasefire and an end to the 17 year blokkade remains distant, while the humanitarian assistance reaching the region is minimal compared to the enormity of the need. This underscores the urgency of persistently highlighting the situation,mobilizing resources to support aid, and showing solidarity with the population of Gaza, and the Palestinian people more broadly.
On Thursday May 30th, we are organizing a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the victims of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
◍ music by han, noise diva (live), siga &amp; youngwoman 
◍ poetry + soundscapes by tania shoukair &amp; nessim 
◍ screening of selected short films
Before and after the music + film programme, we organize a market with various sellers, including Middle East Archive, and a range of local and Palestinian artists.
Through this event, we are amplifying Palestinian culture and life in a time of unfathomable grief and suffering, and so we urge you to be conscious, reflective, and respectful when entering our space.
Tickets cost a minimum of €15, but we ask anyone that can contribute more to donate on a pay-as-you-can principle, you can purchase them now <a href="https://murmur.weticket.com/murmur/city-of-flowers-fundraiser-for/tickets/start" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://murmur.weticket.com/murmur/city-of-flowers-fundraiser-for/tickets/start&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1716374101152000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3AfmWbQJkJcr5m15AeEgj-">here</a>.
The majority of funds will go to Palestine Red Crescent and Palestine Relief Children’s Fund, who are currently providing emergency aid as well as longer term support in Gaza. A fraction of funds will also be used to support Direct Action groups in the Netherlands. In addition, each ticket sold will also contribute towards e-sims to keep Gazans connected.
This evening is organized with the support of Echobox Radio and Radio Alhara. Can’t make it to the event? The audio of the shows will be livestreamed on their platforms. You can also donate an amount via the fundraising link in our bio.
