Oi! presents Skream b2b Benga & more
On Wednesday, October 16, dubstep and grime club night Oi! returns to Paradiso during ADE after a seven-year absence. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Oi! which will be celebrated with a reunion behind the turntables of childhood friends Skream and Benga, two pioneers within the dubstep genre. In the past decade they expanded usual dubstep sets to genres like house and techno, but this night they return to their roots with Neffa-T, Brutuzz, Oi! founder Gomes and Drew MC on the lineup.
Skream - real name Oliver Dene Jones - began his career at 15 as an employee at Big Apple Records, a record store in Croydon known as the epicentre of the early dubstep scene. After a string of singles, his debut album “Skream!” was released in 2006, one of the most influential works of the early dubstep era. Jones is also known for his 'Skreamizm' album series, 'Outside The Box' and the 'Magnetic Man' project with Benga and Artwork.
Benga or Adegbenga Dejumo is also known as a pioneer of the dubstep genre and his career began at Big Apple Records. His productions caught the attention of DJ Hatcha, who worked at Big Apple. In 2002, Benga's first track “Skank” was released and since then he has more than earned his stripes. In 2006, Benga's debut album 'New Step' was released, followed by 'Diary of an Afro Warrior' just two years later. His third and latest album 'Chapter II' was released in 2013.

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.
