Events and community building
Exploring human wellbeing and the realities of working in electronic music: from pressure, mental health, and addiction to identity, recovery, belonging, and what helps us truly thrive.
For Love and Health of House· · ·For the love of the culture· · ·For the health of the people in it· · ·
FLHH brings together all of you: artists, DJs, promoters, managers, crew, coaches, and the teams at labels and industry organisations shaping the business behind the scenes.
The conversations can be raw.
We create space for people to talk openly about the things that affect us, both inside and outside the industry. The beautiful parts, the painful parts and the things we don't always know how to talk about.
These aren't conversations where FLHH stands at the front with the answers. Lived experience, professional knowledge and different perspectives meet in the same room. People question, challenge, recognise, disagree, learn from each other and add something of their own.
Because the point isn't to tell people what to think. It's to create the kind of conversation that can change how we see something.
Talk. Experience. Connect.
FLHH brings people together through conversation, shared experiences and connection.

When does ambition become pressure? And when does pressure become something we simply accept as part of the job?
We all find ways to cope. Some help us. Some work until they don't. Some slowly become the problem themselves.
What we do rarely comes out of nowhere. What happens when we get curious about the behaviour instead of only judging it?
Addiction has many faces. Alcohol and drugs are part of the conversation, but so are gambling, sex, work, fame, status and the patterns underneath them.
There is no single version of recovery. Abstinence. Treatment. Meetings. Therapy. Community. Change. Different people find different ways forward.
What happens when your work, your scene, your success and your social life become tangled up with who you think you are?
Belonging is more than being in the room. It is having somewhere you don't have to perform a version of yourself to stay there.
Careers don't happen in isolation. Partners, children, parents and relationships live alongside touring, the music industry, ambition and irregular lives.
Different brains experience the same industry differently. What one environment calls a problem, another may recognise as a strength.
Creativity can be freedom, expression and purpose. What happens when it also becomes work, expectation and something you have to produce on demand?
Because we love this culture. The music. The people. The freedom. The unexpected nights. The creativity. The connection. The joy. The moments that make all of it worth it.

FLHH Timeline
It started with one conversation.
FLHH began as a pilot at Amsterdam's Oranjekerk in 2022.
Explore the full history →Some feedback stays with you.
Hearing that a conversation helped someone understand why they had lost friends to addiction, and release some of the pain they had carried around it, is the kind of response that keeps the fire under FLHH burning.
What we hear back every year
- People look differently at their own substance use.
- Understand their behaviour better.
- Take something practical home.
- Feel recognised in somebody else's story.
Sometimes one conversation plants a seed.
Have something real to bring into the room?
FLHH grows through people who are willing to share what they know, what they have lived and what they are trying to change.
