a night that feels like coming home
HOUSEWARMING – Where house is still affordable
Step into Housewarming: the night where the dance floor feels like a cozy living room full of memories. Where house, disco, and funk form the soundtrack to a shared past of pop culture, film clips, iconic images, and nostalgia. From and for Utrecht’s nightlife, a celebration of everything that connects us in this city, in this moment. We’re incredibly excited and honored to have AIS De La Montagne and Deodaat light up our stage for this very first edition.
Together, we’re building a space where house music is the foundation and pop culture paints the walls. Think of the movies you grew up with, the music videos you had on repeat, the internet icons that still make you laugh. All those recognizable fragments from our media culture form the warm blanket of the night. This is your culture, your nostalgia and that of your neighbors, your friends, your fellow city dwellers.
To make this happen, we need your help: we’re inviting you to share what reminds you of home and the past through an open call for makers, creatives, and all-around nostalgia enthusiasts. What images, sounds, or aesthetics are etched into your memory and deserve a place in our shared night culture? Whether you work with found footage, make things yourself, mix, paste, or cut: everything is welcome, as long as it’s personal and nostalgic to you. Think Game Boys, cartoons, PlayStations. Dolls, Pokémon cards, finger paint, coloring books—the sky’s the limit.
Check out our open call to participate: https://forms.gle/tKVALhapqzhJQMWV9. Got another idea? Email us at housewarming.utr@gmail.com.
Come dance with us in our collective living room. See you on the 26th!
