CLUB Lab - Live Showcases

ADE Lab, DJ Mag & Melkweg join forces for CLUB Lab! This year, CLUB Lab will be a multidisciplinary event, with live music, A/V shows and a club night – a chance for those at ADE Lab to come together and end ADE together.

CLUB Lab is back with the support of DJ Mag. This year, applications will be open for aspiring DJs and ADE Lab ticketholders to send in their mixes and have a chance to be selected in our very own Lab clubnight – showcasing some of the best new DJs in town.

4 DJs will be selected by the ADE & DJ Mag teams, who will join the Saturday lineup of a concluding club night!

Line-up:

TAALIAH

Glasgow-based DJ and producer TAAHLIAH quickly gained recognition by transforming mainstream pop into experimental club anthems, leading to her acclaimed mini-album Angelica in 2021, which won Best Independent EP/Mixtape at the AIM Awards. Known for her unrestrained approach to electronic music, she blends hard dance, pop, and experimental sounds, as seen in her viral Boiler Room set and collaborations with artists like Luca Eck and Loraine James. TAAHLIAH has played major venues like Fabric and Southbank Centre, and beyond music, she co-hosts The Dolls Discuss podcast and has appeared on BBC 6 Music.

Slim Soledad

The urge to move is at the core of Slim Soledad’s identity. Growing up in Brazil, Guarulhos, she was surrounded by music and dance from a young age; it wasn’t long before she was diving into São Paulo’s vibrant party scene and taking vogue classes and contemporary dance. Although now based in Paris, she organised some of São Paulo’s first trans-led parties as part of the Chernobyl collective (named for the insults her cofounder received online). This was also where she started to hone her style as a DJ: a fast-paced, intense mix of heavy techno, hard-edged baile funk, electro and Latino core. It's a formula many have since tried to copy, but few have equalled.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.

We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
