History

In May 2002, DJs Phil Horneman and Manne van der Zee organised their first WJS event. It took place at Aknathon, in Amsterdam.[1]

Horneman had previously used the Wicked Jazz Sounds name for a show on the Amstelveen local radio station, starting in 1998.[2][1]

Club Zyon

Later in 2002, weekly clubnights began taking place at Club 020 (now Club Zyon).[3] WJS organised a special event in March 2004 featuring electronic music by 4hero.[4]

Sugarfactory

In 2005, WJS moved to Sugarfactory.[1][5] Their 10 year anniversary was celebrated in May 2012 with an event at Melkweg, which was broadcast live on NPO Radio 6.[5] Earlier that year, the record label Wicked Jazz Sounds Recordings was created, starting with the debut album of Kris Berry.[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.[7][8] The Sugarfactory venue filed for bankruptcy in January 2019.[9]
