Reggae Recipe is a sound system founded in april 2005 in Amsterdam with the goal to promote (vintage) Jamaican music in a town which gets often associated with reggae only because of its soft drugs policy.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but we feel that reggae is much much more than that.
Also in Amsterdam!!!
We wanted to give our club an original, friendly and warm feel, very distant from the redgoldgreen/lionofjudah/haileselassie pastiche of 99% of the reggae clubs worldwide but also from the ’monotone’ two-tone image of the ska scene.
And we found the key in another passion of ours: FOOD! Something matching perfectly this kind of music, which is spicy and tasty just as the Jamaican and Caribbean kitchen!
In two years we’ve been spinning in all the most important venues of our hometown, organising gigs and offering our guests free Jamaican and Caribbean snacks.
After several months absence from Amsterdam’s nightlife we are now back in force, with an enpowered formula.
We’ll be doing one party every season, with live music, dj set and of course food!
NEXT PARTY SATURDAY 31 MAY AT 22:00
LIVE ON STAGE: THE LIQUIDS - SPARKLING ROCKSTEADY FROM PARIS
GUEST DJ: PALLINO (HILVERSUM)
@ MALOE MELO - LIJNBAANSGRACHT 163 AMSTERDAM
ENJOY!
IMPORTANT! We’re starting getting requests from political bands and organisations. Reggae Recipe is strictly nonpolitical and has just one simple message: "ENJOY GOOD THINGS IN LIFE REGARDLESS WHERE THEY COME FROM". This means there is no room for "sectarian" stuff like political or religious propaganda. Any requests or messages containing political statements or symbols of all kind will be dismissed and removed.
