We may own the records – but it's not our music! 

Most of the music we play is deeply rooted in histories of racist oppression and colonial exploitation. This music often was made by and for oppressed and marginalized communities as an act of resistance and empowerment against the injustices they faced.
It is our passion to dig, collect, listen to and share latin, caribbean, black & diasporic music. At the same time by playing this music publicly or mixing it in sets, we do not wish to appropriate these contexts and narratives of oppression and resistance in any way. Nor do we claim to be able to understand the meaning and role of the music for certain communities in its entirety. 
While we try our best not to reproduce ignorant habits, such as reproducing colonial patterns by making a profit with  the music or playing it in depoliticized party contexts, we are aware of the contradictions inherent in this intent. After all we are in the most privileged position possible, being two white cissexual men.

All this implies an obligation we have to meet: to be open to criticism and discussion, to constantly reevaluate our role in regards to this music we love. So please hit us up in case you have any suggestions, ideas or criticism, we would love to hear it!

Liebe Alter,

Warm, deep music – with melodic influences – is what komm schon Alter stands for. 
I organise my events in our beautiful Dutch capital. The concept is simple: ‘Nur für 24-Jährigen und älter’. 
Youngsters, teenagers and youth complexes are parked outside.
Melodious beats, positivity and a mature audience are present on the dance floor. 

I hope to see you there. 

Bis bald,
komm schon Alter.
