**

The existence of Club RoXY is one of the most special periods in Amsterdam's cultural history. Founded as a culture salon in 1987, the club became the place where revolutionary house music first gained a foothold in 1988 through the pioneering work of Eddy De Clercq. The RoXY thus laid the foundation for the international success of Dutch dance.

But the RoXY was more than that.

It was the place where influential DJs such as Joost van Bellen, KC The Funkaholic, Dimitri and Johnson flourished. In the wake of co-founder Peter Giele, it became a playground for artists and performers. But above all, the club was a safe haven for visitors from the LGBTQ+ scene. All contributed to the endless, wild party nights, full of creativity and self-expression.

Cleo Campert recorded it all, until the last day in 1999, when disaster struck and the club burned down completely. The archive remained closed for a long time, hundreds of photos can be seen in this book for the first time.

The RoXY Archive is an ode to the euphoria of the early house years, to the wild and ragged Amsterdam of the late eighties, to this example of inclusivity and diversity, to icons such as Zubrowka, Harrie Wildeman and Jet Brandsteder. To a club like never before and never will be again.
