On July 27th, Vault Sessions joins forces with Manchester’s Meat Free and Rotterdam’s Spectrum Waves for a singular afterhours experience in Der Hintergarten, Netherlands. Traversing the spectrum of cutting-edge techno, the WKNDR // AFTERHOURS brings together deep selectors, forward-thinking artists, and a dancefloor open to discovery. The lineup underlines a night built for magnetic connection and kinetic release.

London’s abs8lute harnesses a distinct blend of driving bass and intricate rhythms, crafting moments that oscillate between tension and euphoria. Joining is Delano Legito, whose Rotterdam roots and dynamic sets mirror the uncompromising energy fuelling the local underground. Berlin-based Lea Occhi channels raw, tactile grooves with precision, embodying a sound that’s both cerebral and physical.

Local mainstay Lobster (NL) slices into afterhours territory with warped textures and high-voltage percussion, while Yigit’s selections lock in with heady, afterdark propulsion. Der Hintergarten sets the scene—industrial and intimate, pushing dancers to find unity in the pulse of a system built for serious listening. As day breaks on July’s final Sunday, expect close quarters, extended transitions, and a sound forged in the friction between communities.

This is more than an afterparty—it’s a convergence of sonic identities, intent on stretching the weekend into new territory.
