Masalo – Arcade Heartbeat

She was the heartbeat of the arcade. Everyone came for the games but stayed to see her. I beat every machine in that place, left my name glowing at the top of every screen, but when I finally got the guts to speak to her, all she said was, “Give me up.”

There are few as deeply immersed in the Amsterdam scene as Masalo. From running the Brighter Days party series with Kamma to co-establishing Doka Studio and curating pivotal compilations for Rush Hour records, he's been a driving force in the city's nightlife. Masalo channels his deep-rooted club heritage into a new chapter with the launch of his live set, debuting on Dekmantel’s main stage in 2024, with a custom-built rig called 'The Trinity' bringing a powerful fusion of house, hi-NRG and techno to life. An ecstatic live experience now reaching DGTL, Vent Tokyo, Lente Kabinet, Lowlands and Dekmantel Selectors.
