Bas van Wersch (NL)

Bas van Wersch and Denzel Zurburg are the founders of Artists for President, a full-service event agency based in Amsterdam. Over the past decade, they have grown the company from a passion project into one of the notable independent players in the Dutch electronic music landscape.

AFP is the driving force behind Intercell, an internationally acclaimed brand with events hosted across the globe, and also co-owns Amsterdam concepts such as Overbruggen and Nyx op Donderdag. Alongside these projects, the agency works with a wide range of artists, including Job Jobse, DJ Heartstring, KI/KI, Winson and Palms Trax, to create and produce event concepts and concerts. Since 2023, AFP has co-presented Bajes, a cultural venue launched in Amsterdam’s former prison during ADE, with the ambition to expand it into a permanent creative space from 2026 onward. Their complementary roles drive AFP’s mission: to turn bold ideas into impactful events, both in Amsterdam and across the globe.
