Cakes Da Killa will be taking over Amsterdam’s dance night Progress Bar

The political event will feature a line-up of contemporary artists and talks

A regular dance night at Amsterdam’s Paradiso Noord, Tolhuistuin, Progress Bar is a political party that brings together a roster of diverse artists along with a program of interviews and lectures.

On 1 April, the party will be playing host to the New Jersey rapper Cakes Da Killa, the self-described ‘genre-fluid’ DJ An Ni, DJ Firmeza from the batida scene, founder of Progress Bar Juha and the Berlin-based producer Kablam.

The writer and activist Wail Qasim will also be giving a talk on the night. Having worked as a freelance writer for publications such as The Guardian and Vice, Qasim often explores issues dealing with racism, gender identity and black social movements.
