ADE Sound Lab introduces Beat Clinic

For these sessions, each day, we invite one professional from a specific genre to give constructive feedback on finished tracks that you have submitted, to help you get moving in the right direction. So if you've got trouble making your snares snap, your basslines boom, your dynamics come alive, or your mixdowns sound unique, come on in and listen to top-notch advice from an already successful producer that lives and performs every week on the frontline. The environment is cozy, and the chat is friendly, so give it a go – you have nothing to lose!

The first announced artists are Headhunterz (Thursday) and Lucas & Steve (Friday). Headhunterz, aka William Rebergen, is a noted hardstyle artist. He has produced several iconic anthems for Defqon.1, Qlimax and Hard Bass, is a part of the genre's powerful live act – Project One – and his sound has helped propel the music to new levels of success. In purely technical terms, the vast effect of hardstyle as it powers out of PA systems is impossible to deny, and any producer could learn a lot from this man.

Spinnin' records mainstays Lucas de Wert and Steven Jansen, meanwhile, are responsible for some of the most popular house smashes around. From the parties of Goa, Dubai, San Fransisco, and the rest of the world to the pop charts at home in the Netherlands, they attract millions every year. Want to learn more? Come and share your music, and let them share their hard-won knowledge.

Rules:
The rules are simple. Every morning before each session, you can submit your treasured demo between 10 and 12 am by dropping it on a USB into the demo box at the entrance. We will randomly select new entries every session, so make sure you pick the artist you wish to treat your track beforehand. Example: If you want Headhunterz to hear your demo, submit your track on Thursday morning, for Lucas & Steve provide it on Friday. More artists to be announced.

Time for both sessions, to be announced.
