About The Void The Void is published by Subbacultcha, an Amsterdam-based platform run by real people who are hopelessly devoted to music and art.
WELCOME TO THE VOID
The Void is published six times a year and is distributed all over the Netherlands.
The Void often takes us to some interesting places, and we’ve done a fair amount of travelling for this issue. From an inspiring chat with SASSY 009 in Oslo, to Berlin with avant-garde pop-duo EASTER, who give some truly surreal food for thought. Not to forget a trip to gloomy London with Carla Dal Forno. All of whom have some incredible new records that we’ve had on repeat in the office - and we simply can’t wait to witness up close and IRL.
The Void represents our inspiring community and reflects our vibrant surroundings. Consider it an ode to unruly creativity and musicians and artists who challenge the norm. The Void also shines a light on all the concerts and events we organise in and around Amsterdam, showcasing the emerging artists and musicians we love. The Void is made in close collaboration with our dedicated community of readers, members, artists, musicians, writers and photographers from all over the world. Come join us!
About Subbacultcha
‘Hibou / Chien sur canapé, 2017’ sent to The Void by Sarah-Louise Barbett @sarahlouisebarbett
We unearth the best emerging artists and bring them to alternative stages near you. We also publish the Void: a publication documenting Subbacultcha’s ever-expanding universe.
About the Subbacultcha Membership You can become a member of Subbacultcha for €9 a month. Your membership grants you free access to all our events, ranging from live shows to talks to exhibitions. Not only that, but with a membership, you get a copy of The Void sent to your doorstep six times a year, the latest edition of our bag, plus first-hand invites to special events, sessions and more...
We’ve also been in a reflective mood, looking back on twenty years of OT301, a venue that has been (and still is) a second-home to Subbacultcha. Co-founder Colin gives us a tour through the ex-squat, taking us down OT-memory lane. Recalling her otherworldly, moon-serenading performance this summer, we revisit Lyra Pramuk, who crafts us an exclusive, lyrical melody. In need of an interior design boost? Flip through and find not one, but two (!) colour-exploded posters by Aafke Bouman and Jacco Bunt. As the cherry on top, there’s an exclusive feature written by the realspeak, savvy art critics - The White Pube, somewhere deep-down in these pages... We could go on and on. You know us. Even as the days get colder and darker, this issue is bursting with life and energy. So relax, make yourself a hot beverage, and plunge in.

The Void, Documenting Music and Art from Amsterdam and the World. Published by Subbacultcha six times a year. Issue 5, November / December 2019 Front cover
This poster A Guided Tour Through Lotus Land is made by Jacco Bunt. Alphen a/d Rijn-born, Berlin-based illustrator Jacco Bunt is a master of geometry, abstraction and color. “Lotus Land is synonymus for a pleasant place where people only have to think about enjoying themselves, not about work or achieving anything. It represents the fun and freedom that is part of the fantasy world you’re dipping into when you go ‘out’. You’re being immersed in another world.” Please allow yourself to take a long gaze at Jacco’s bold and fresh work. Check @jaccobunt
