Basic Grooves is one of the longest running techno organisations in The Netherlands. The infamous club nights have become a corner stone of the techno scene in the east.
Location

The celebration of the King’s birthday deserves a remarkable location. And we found just that, at the Universiteit Twente’s campus.
