Kelvin 373 stepping into Melkweg for Cheeky Monday this week is the kind of move that turns a quieter day on the calendar into something worth marking. Known for his high-energy drum & bass sets, Kelvin 373 commands the rhythm with a skill that keeps floors tight and locked in. With Insom rounding out the lineup, the night leans heavily into rapid breaks and basslines designed to keep the momentum pushing forward. It’s a standout pick when the week starts slow.
Over at Kashmir Lounge, Go Cosmic with Nicola Piva, Be.a.son offers a counterpoint for those looking to ease into the evening rather than dive straight into heavy beats. House and minimal grooves are the focus here, driven by Nicola Piva and Be A Son. Kashmir Lounge has the kind of intimate atmosphere perfect for letting subtle rhythms unfold, and both selectors are tuned to the task of creating space for connection without overwhelming the room.
