OSCAM Writerscamp
During ADE week, OSCAM and Prince Claus Fund will once again provide a platform for female-identifying and transgender hip-hop artists, celebrating their significant contributions to the genre through a writerscamp. The writerscamp is a 7-day program where artists from abroad and the Netherlands, learning from each other, produce and launch together one song, produced by a soon-to-be-announced producer. Participants will showcase this song on Friday at OSCAM and on Saturday at Melkweg.

Line-up: Lady Donli, Amarafleur, April222, Foemie

ADE Lab Incepted: FRAGMENTS EP

After a week of workshops and studio sessions under the guidance of Sony Music and SAE Institute Amsterdam, the selected participants of 'ADE Lab Incepted' will showcase the end result at Melkweg - a collaborative EP, the first work in the 'ADE Lab Incepted' discography, released on Sony Music.

This year, ADE Lab expanded its horizons with an intensive 4-day bootcamp program, ADE Lab Incepted. This groundbreaking initiative brought together 12 talented individuals from across the globe, each contributing with their unique skills and perspectives of the music industry. Our diverse team comprised of producers, singers, songwriters, visual artists, and industry professionals, creating a melting pot of creativity and innovation.

During these four intense days, the Incepted team embarked on a transformative journey, translating their individual experiences into three collaborative tracks. These tracks take listeners on an emotional journey, reflecting a spectrum of emotions that we experienced throughout ADE week. Our EP, aptly named "Fragments," weaves together the pieces of our identities, our shared moments, and the fleeting instances of inspiration that defined our creative process.

In "Fragments," each member of the team brings a piece of themselves into the collaboration. This blend of diverse electronic music genres and personal backgrounds posed an intriguing question: can these fragments come together to form a cohesive whole? It's a question that resonates with all of us—do we fit in? And does fitting in require us to be the same?

This EP delivers a powerful message: when diversity is embraced and unified, it leads to innovation and connection, particularly in electronic music. "Fragments" is a testament to the beauty of diversity, demonstrating that when we bring our unique pieces together, we create something truly novel and extraordinary.

Join us as we unveil "Fragments," and experience the magic of a project that connects people on multiple levels through the universal language of music. This EP is not just a collection of songs; it’s a celebration of our shared journey and the vibrant mosaic of our collective creativity.

Everyone with a valid ADE Pro, Lab or Lab Day Pass is welcome and invited to join.
