Pump up the pulse: ADE partners with Spotify for the official 'Sound of ADE 2024' Playlist

Sunday, 22 September 2024
Get into the sound of this year's Amsterdam Dance Event by treating your ears to everything good and electronic Spotify has to offer. To fuel the excitement for ADE 2024, we've created our official ‘Sound of ADE' playlist. But that's not all: for the third consecutive year, ADE is teaming up with Spotify to amplify sound horizons and connections alike.

Fuel the countdown

To fuel the countdown and set the tone for ADE 2024, the official ‘Sound of ADE playlist’, in partnership with Spotify, is back to deliver everything your ears are craving. This year's playlist offers a perfect blend of familiar favourites and exciting new sounds, spanning from bouncy techno and synth-pop classics to high-energy hits. Whether you're into pop elements, progressive cuts, or bass-heavy tracks, this playlist has you covered. Need an energy boost? Tune in for drum & bass. Looking to wind down? Enjoy some lush house. Featuring tracks from artists like Benwal, Charli XCX, Skream & Benga, DJ Europarking, Shanti Celeste, Dee Diggs, DMX Krew, Jamie xx, LOVEFOXY, and many more the playlist sets the perfect backdrop for every ADE moment.


The sound of ADE Pro

If you're looking to expand both your musical and business horizons, the ADE Pro Conference is the place to be. Phiona Okumu, Spotify's Head of Music in Sub-Saharan Africa and a top-level strategic expert will share her insights on elevating African artists and Spotify’s initiatives like RADAR and EQUAL, which support emerging and female artists. The talk takes place on ADE Saturday at Felix Meritis.

Spotify has been a part of ADE for years, rocking the festival as the official audio partner since 2022. Besides hosting interactive masterclasses and lighting up the night sky with an incredible drone show over the IJ River, Spotify kept the anticipation and energy high throughout with a playlist that served as the perfect ADE soundtrack. Fast forward to ADE 2023, when home base 'Spotify Huis' made its debut as a cosy festival hub, with last year's playlist still filling the air. This new space offered a perfect spot for panel talks, networking, and a well-deserved break from the festival’s whirlwind.

Keep your eyes peeled for more ADE x Spotify specials.
