Just go there, doesn't matter what is on or which day it is. This is Amsterdam at its rawest - and sometimes dopiest. You might get lucky and see Aardvarck spin.
Best nightclub in Amsterdam, hands down. But check what is on before you go - it might not be your thing. Awesome soundsystem however, and brutal architecture.
On the good side of 'High Fidelity'. A connoisseur's record shop, with a fine selection of jazz and classical music. Too bad they killed the electronic and experimental music department.
The heart and soul of Chicago house and Detroit techno in the Netherlands. What Soul Jazz is to London, Rush Hour is to Amsterdam. No hipsters, just music heads. Bonus: good hip hop and bass music.
