Armada Music unveils its massive, versatile program for ADE 2024
The biggest independent dance music label in the world
Representing artists such as Armin van Buuren, ARTY, D.O.D, Eelke Kleijn, Jan Blomqvist, Loud Luxury, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Tensnake, THEMBA and Yulia Niko, Armada Music amasses more than one billion streams per month, airplay on leading radio outlets such as BBC Radio 1 and Sirius XM, and top positions in the world’s most notable charts. The label also takes great pride in major achievements such as Armin van Buuren’s GRAMMY nomination for ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, Loud Luxury and Brando’s ‘Body’ surpassing one billion streams on Spotify and breaking artists such as Lost Frequencies into global stardom.
Across offices in Amsterdam (HQ), New York, London and Laren (NL), Armada Music offers a truly global appeal to its growing roster. The label has its own club, radio studio and multiple production studios, and hosts various live formats. Armada University, the label’s producer platform, highlights its ongoing commitment to nurturing the next wave of talent by offering educational resources and opportunities.
This year, Armada University returns to ADE Lab after just partnering with DJ.Studio to launch its first-ever mashup contest, further demonstrating its dedication to shaping the next generation of dance music legends. The return to ADE Lab provides an exciting opportunity for young, aspiring musicians to learn directly from some of the most successful artists in the dance music industry.
Armada Music’s BEAT Music Fund, the world’s first dance music investment company, acquires catalogs with the goal of honoring, representing, and revitalizing them. In celebration of the relaunch of the iconic NYC house label King Street Sounds, which BEAT acquired in 2023, Armada Music, King Street Sounds, and Beatport have teamed up to create a special documentary. This documentary, exploring the label’s legendary journey, will premiere at EYE Film Museum.
Highlights include:
Next to the Armada University, there's much more in store. What about the world-famous 'A State of Trance' radio show that opens its doors during ADE, and adds a special club event at Armada's HQ?
Or what about the Armada Invites: Lagerwal event, featuring Lily Palmer, Kasia, Something Good (Yotto) and more to follow? Another highlight at Armada's ADE is the takeover of record shop KILLACUTZ, where this must-attend pop-up event sees huge names like Ferry Corsten, Maxim Lany, Ruben de Ronde and SUPERSTRINGS soundtrack your ADE Friday with unique vinyl dj-sets.
