Amsterdam Techno Sessions is a weekly Techno event, held every Thursday, in Amsterdam.

Join us at John Doe from 23:00 until 04:00 on a powerful and intimate Techno night. Tickets are now available. Rakom bio: It’s not everyday that talent becomes so obvious at a young age, but for German DJ Rakom the evidence is unmistakable. The Bochum-based artist, born in 2005, comes from a vinyl background and boasts impressive mixing skills alongside his drum practice that he’s been doing since he was 7. At 11 he started practicing with turntables, taking him to his first ever club gig 2 years later. Since then he’s had multiple club appearances as a newcomer, bespoke young talent and other special accolades. Having a distinct idea about sounds it was logical for him to learn producing. One year into the game he wins the OFF Recordings remix contest for Drumcomplex’ track “Atomic”. During lockdown he kept himself busy livestreaming with the likes of Felix Kröcher and Complexed records boss Drumcomplex himself, and he also appears on the Techno Syndicate Mix Compilation on ZYX Music. Only at the beginning of his musical journey, Rakom names the likes of Temudo, Luke Slater, Gary Beck, Oliver Rosemann and A.Paul as main influences for his production styles. On a personal level his aim is to bring raw techno music to a broader audience, both of listeners and makers, and putting an emphasis on spiking techno music through ample curation and crafty mixing skills. While we can’t say what the future holds for the club scene, RAKOM is continuing his mission to combine the finest tracks to his liking into his DJ sets while constantly refining his producer chops, so a likely presence in the clubs, on future streams, compilations and certainly in numerous playlists to come.
