Club 11 is programming a lot of minimal stuff especially from Get Physical Records. M.A.N.D.Y., Bookashade and DJ T have all been playing at this club on the 11th floor of the building. Club 11 had also names like Trentemoller, Magda and Mathew Dear.
Another great organization is Voltt (organised by our own Dutch hero Bart Skils). They have a really awesome list of parties they did in previous years like a boat party with Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos & Luciano and a special in Club 11. But mainly they are doing their thing in the Paradiso, an old church transferred to a nice club. Next month they have a new edition with names like Heathrob, Sleeparchive, Troy Pierce and The Wighnomy Brothers. I think these are the main spots according to minimal in Amsterdam. Besides that, you have the TWSTD-DJ Cafe with a lot of new talents playing there and sometimes big names who drop in like Dave Clarke of Laurent Garnier. When in Amsterdam, just go to the local record stores like Outland to catch up what is hot and coming.
Besides that, Utrecht and The Hague are not faraway. Utrecht has the Poema with great evenings (Karotte last week, and Krause Duo Nr. 2 coming up next month for example) and in The Hague the main factor is Phonocult from Sander Baan which programmed Zip, Sammy Dee & Pantytec (live) previous weekend.
And of course the legendary parties Awakenings are worth checking out.
