Wicked Jazz Sounds

Wicked Jazz Sounds is a Dutch music collective and event organizer located in Amsterdam founded in 2002.

[1] In May 2002, DJs Phil Horneman and Manne van der Zee organised their first WJS event.

[1] Horneman had previously used the Wicked Jazz Sounds name for a show on the Amstelveen local radio station, starting in 1998.

[1][5] Their 10 year anniversary was celebrated in May 2012 with an event at Melkweg, which was broadcast live on NPO Radio 6.

[6][5] The collective announced in December 2018 that their 14-year tennure at Sugarfactory would come to an end, due to uncertainty over the venue's future, moving their events across the street to Melkweg instead.
