With a history of legendary clubs such as the Paradiso and as a favourite destination for young alternative travellers, Amsterdam boasts a large and lively electronic music scene. Labels like Rush Hour - also a record store in Amsterdam's centre - Delsin and Field Records uphold the city's ties to the original Detroit techno sound, while a lively scene for avant-garde downbeat has developed around imprints like Kindred Spirits and Eat Concrete.
