ade next

ADE NEXT is ADE’s platform for new talent, offering a broad program featuring producers, djs and other professionals from all around the globe, eager to share their knowledge.  ADE NEXT is all about how to connect with artists and professionals, how to publish tracks, how to promote your music and how to be prepared for the main stage.

Amsterdam Dance Event isn’t only about and for the dinosaurs of the dance scene. Sure, you can find people who are in the business for about a century, but it’s also a place where newcomers, young artists and professionals can meet each other and some of the dinosaurs. And off course find a way in and into the scene.

That the music scene, and even the dance scene, isn’t all about the music and the fun itself might not be a surprise. There is a whole range of other activities behind the music, a – most of the time – slow working machine, that needs to be treated with much care and respect. And the thing is: there is no manual. There are only a few people who can tell you some tips and trics. There is another option though: trial and error. We have an idea about which one is the easiest. Or maybe least diffucult is a better way to say it. Read more

And be prepared for our annual Demolition panel hosted by DJ Dave Clarke (GB) for honest and sincere feedback on your track by a panel of professionals, this in corporation with Soundcloud, so expect the digital dropbox online soon. Before there is the Demopitch, a one on one sessions with professionals, will this be your breakthrough? Also we have transformed the upstairs room in to the Labs: a hands-on area containing a number of complete music production and live performance set-ups, each hosted by an industry expert. This technical Walhalla is designed to give everyone the chance to get advice and inspiration. No matter what your flavour is: Cubase, Logic, Abelton (and more), they will all be represented. So if you have a technical question, need advice about equipment choice, or simply want to see how the experts work, come along and meet our team.

But that’s not all: alongside our team of technical experts, there will be a series of presentations given by accomplished artists and producers, making the forth floor an essential part of your day. Stay tuned!
