Het Klaslokaal x Het Archief

Stadsarchief Amsterdam and De School present: Het Klaslokaal | A presentation on Het Archief, De School’s digital sound archive, and an open dialogue on new ways of archiving.


Join us for a presentation on Het Archief, the digital sound archive of De School. Head honchos of the project Melisa Cenik and Jasmín Hoek will share their experiences in developing this digital platform, which was launched last June with the support of Stadsarchief, Podiumkunst.net, and MixCloud. They will discuss what was needed to set up the archive, the challenges they faced, and who and what is required for such a project. This is an opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look and receive guidance on building your own platform. It is also a chance to engage in an open dialogue about archiving and explore future ideas of other participants.


Melisa Cenik

Melisa has been deeply involved in nightlife culture since her early twenties. For the past two years, she has expanded her focus to the broader fields of arts and culture, contributing to and being involved in projects such as Het HEM’s digital platform The Couch, the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, and De School. At De School, she recently initiated and launched the digital sound archive, Het Archief. In September, she started a master’s program in Experimental Publishing at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam.

Jasmín Hoek

Jasmín is an Amsterdam-based DJ, producer, journalist, and cultural curator with a Master’s degree in Gender Studies. Next to DJing and producing, she has been writing for different electronic music outlets, and involved in a variety of music-related projects for several years.

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.
