Mr Mokum Instore Sessions is a new initiative arising from the ADE Instore Sessions where local DJs and local organisations have put themselves in the spotlight through these instore sessions in Mr Mokum’s business during the Amsterdam Dance Event on the always cozy Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam. In the new in-store concept, Mr Mokum wants to give modern art artists a platform in addition to the DJs in a joint project by means of an in-store session in which the artist and the music will reinforce each other. Two creative worlds will flow into each other in the pleasant environment of the Mr Mokum store where new connections will arise!
