Friday, 14 October 2022
With just one week left of waiting, it’s time to decide where you’re going to dance front-left. Ready to go all out until the sweat comes dripping down from the roof? This guide helps you navigate the events that make your step count jump through the roof!

Awakenings Opening Night, Gashouder, ADE Wednesday
With names like Cera Khin and Paula Temple on the lineup, you know the dance floor will be packed with people that are not afraid to move. Cranking up the BPMs and forcing you to give everything you’ve got, these two techno trailblazers serve banger after banger and drop after drop. The raw, unpredictable, and fast-paced techno of Héctor Oaks pumps up up the tempo alongside them on the ADE Opening Night of Awakenings at Gashouder, among many other DJs to keep you warm all through the night.

Osàre Editions Label Night, Het HEM, ADE Wednesday

Powerhouse Elena Colombi takes her label Osàre Editions to ADE! She takes L.F.T. and Novo Line with her to Het HEM, who both play a special live set before she closes the night in style. Guaranteed to bring the heat, Elena Colombi relies on your stamina on ADE Wednesday. If you are in the mood for a cultured warm up, Het HEM invites you to visit their current exhibition ’Sweet Harmony – Out of the Underground’ before you enter the rave realm.



High intensity & BPMs


AURA, Radion, ADE Thursday

AURA combines local talent with international treasures when they host their homecoming event at ADE. Feel free to skip leg day if you go to AURA at Radion, because the likes of D.Dan, Flits, and Hyperaktivist will keep you moving from 23:00 – 07:00. A cheeky nod to the 90s rave era mixed with faster and harder psychedelic tunes are on the menu for those seeking a full-body workout to start their ADE off right.

HE.SHE.THEY., Shelter, ADE Thursday

It doesn't matter who you are when you enter the dance floor at Shelter on ADE Thursday. HE.SHE.THEY. is an inclusive and free-thinking concept that focusses on all things positive. Born out of the idea that the nights that truly reflected the diversity and representation at the roots of house, disco and techno were missing, HE.SHE.THEY. aims to create a place without prejudice. Step into the basement and move everything you’ve got.
