SESH

Transformatorhuis is a distinctive nightclub and event space that is part of the famed Westergas cultural complex in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, the building was designed as part of a power station that supplied electricity to the city’s gas factory. Its robust, industrial architecture—with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and steel girders—lends Transformatorhuis a unique, atmospheric charm that has made it a favored location for club nights, concerts, art installations, and cultural festivals.

Over time, the entire Westergasfabriek area transitioned from heavy industry to culture, creativity, and nightlife, with Transformatorhuis standing out as an iconic spot thanks to its historic character and flexible event layout. Rather than undergoing radical location changes, the venue has been carefully restored to maintain its heritage elements while integrating modern lighting, sound systems, and amenities, helping it attract a diverse audience. Transformatorhuis has gained a solid reputation both locally and internationally, playing a significant role in Amsterdam’s vibrant night culture.

It is particularly esteemed for hosting cutting-edge electronic music events, including those during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) and other leading festivals, which have contributed to its status as a cultural hotspot in the Dutch capital. Notable artists who have performed at Transformatorhuis include international names such as Jeff Mills, Nina Kraviz, Seth Troxler, David August, and Len Faki, as well as celebrated local talents like Job Jobse, Sandrien, Joris Voorn, and Tom Trago, cementing the venue’s place at the forefront of the European nightlife scene.
