Erasmus Huis kicked off its 2026 cultural program with the Erasmus Huis Club Night, transforming the auditorium and library into vibrant venues for electronic beats. The 8th edition of this event drew a diverse crowd of over 400 music enthusiasts on Saturday, January 24, 2026.

The night featured Dutch DJ NALA alongside Indonesian DJs Mashito, ELLGA, and the SALA collective (Finish, Masguna, Reno Renatama, and Sergio Berlino), with immersive visuals by ADXITA. The event once again affirmed its reputation as a platform for young creatives to connect and collaborate.

The event was headlined by NALA, a global club music DJ from the Netherlands known for her cross-genre, high-energy, and bass-driven sounds. Her set was received with high enthusiasm; she skillfully mixed Indonesian traditional sounds with bass-driven club beats, blending local favorites with international electronic music. Complementing the international sounds were some of Indonesia's finest young talents in the club scene: Mashito blended underground house and top 40 hits with influences from grime and hip-hop, while ELLGA delivered a captivating set of acid, indie dance, and experimental techno.

Silent Disco

Another major highlight was the silent disco in the library. As the first-ever silent disco in an Indonesian library, the initiative transformed the quiet space into a vibrant dance floor.

Led by the founders of the SALA collective and accompanied by ADXITA’s visuals, the library became an immersive space. SALA played a diverse range of house beats, allowing guests to get lost in the music through their headphones as disco lights illuminated the high bookshelves, offering a unique way to enjoy the space.

As the first program of the year, the Erasmus Huis Club Night has set a high bar for 2026, promising a year filled with creativity, inspiration, and meaningful cultural cooperation between the Netherlands and Indonesia.
