Showcasing Afro-electronic sounds and rhythms from all corners of the globe, NYC-based DESCENDANTS returns to Parallel for a big ADE celebration! Back again: this time with another stacked line up featuring international talents.
Get ready for a night of electrifying Afro House and global electronic music featuring some of the most dynamic DJs from around the world. Da Capo, a South African DJ and producer, is renowned for his soul-stirring remixes and original tracks that consistently move the masses.
Joining him is Coco Em, an internationally acclaimed DJ from Kenya, known for her genre-blending debut album "Kilumi" and her pioneering role in East African electronic music.
They'll also be featuring Thakzin, a rising star in Afro Tech and Afro House, celebrated for his forward-thinking, genre-defying productions, and Kitty Amor, a passionate advocate and leading figure in the Afro-house scene, recognized for her dynamic sets and unwavering dedication to the genre.
From the globally-influenced group Homeboyz, led by Nelson Garcia, famous for their track "Matimba" and their latest album IFARADA, to Kapela, a former world-renowned dancer turned DJ who ignites dance floors with his soulful house and afro deep tech sets, the night promises non-stop energy.
Finally, experience the unique sounds of Meedy, the founder of DESCENDANTS, who brings Afro House experiences to the U.S. with deep roots in global electronic music, and Pizzi, a Haitian-American multi-genre artist and producer who blends Afro House, Amapiano, and his heritage into captivating soundscapes.

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.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
