Tourist

On 6 March 2026 Tourist is at Melkweg, Amsterdam. Behind that name is British producer William Phillips, a maker of electronic music who balances between house, ambient and UK garage. His music is built around layer upon layer of texture, subtle percussion and melodies that leave room for emotion, with enough rhythm to get the body moving without forcing it. Live he translates his productions into a set that shifts in intensity: from fragile passages with breath and noise to grooving sections with breaks and 2-step influences, where vocal chops and granular details heighten the tension.

Tourist plays with timing and dynamics, lets silences do their work and places accents where they hit hardest. Expect new material alongside recognizable tracks from earlier releases, reworked for the stage with extra punch in the low end and elongated synth lines. Not fireworks for the sake of fireworks, but a set that opens steadily and builds toward movement without losing nuance. An evening for those who like to dive into layers of sound and for clubgoers who appreciate subtlety, in a live format that gives his productions that bit of extra charge.
