Kindred Spirits is a philosophy.
A philosophy that promotes the enrichment of musical experiences. A group of music fanatics who share the same vibes and ideas formed a collective in order to spread their love and inspiration for music to a wider audience. This collective also reacts to the popular fast food music organizations. Just like eating healthy food, traveling or reading books, you can improve the quality of life by discovering inspiring music. Kindred Spirits is eager to discover and promote the music they are passionate about. Their goal is to share this with a wider audience and to put Amsterdam on the musical map. Surely there is enough local Dutch talent to do so and more is submerging as we speak. Also a wide variety of international artists are signed to the label.

Kindred Spirits tries to reach its audience by organizing an intimate club night, introducing groundbreaking artists as well as releasing music that supports this philosophy. Important is that the audience is moved on this musical road that runs through different styles and era’s. This boundless mix exists of the deepest soul and jazz, the heaviest Latin and funk, boogie and disco, honest hip hop, Brazilian music and afro-beat, soulful house and new futuristic music styles.

The club night
The Kindred Spirits club night resides in the Paradiso, the legendary club in Amsterdam where many great artists have played. The musical foundation is set out by regular DJ’s All Out K, Antal & KC the Funkaholic. They cater for a diverse Amsterdam public that appreciates a wide range of soulful, spiritual music. Over the years there have been many guests have appeared on the monthly nights. Once a year Kindred Spirits also hosts a ‘weekender’ where the best in contemporary black music and art is showcased.

Kindred Spirits also puts much effort in the visual aspect of things by having VJ’s performing on the night. This is mostly done by graphic designers Machine, who also take care of the artwork on the records.
