The Toekomst Muziek foundation is an empowerment project that supports young people through music, focusing on beat-making, singing, and rap. It targets youth with unresolved issues and offers a program that centers on their musical talents. Over a period of at least 12 months, participants work on a compilation album, music videos, and a CD release tour, while also developing their social and emotional skills. The project combines music with guidance, helping participants find suitable education or employment, both within the music industry and beyond. Since its founding in 2010 in Amsterdam Southeast, Toekomst Muziek has helped over hundred kids, produced 13 albums, recorded 30 music videos, and organized 38 performances. The foundation aims to reduce risky behavior and provide meaningful leisure activities. Its mission is to empower youth in all areas of life and encourage them to become entrepreneurial, whether in the music industry or elsewhere.
Dherl Deekman is the founder of Toekomst Muziek. He moved from Paramaribo to Amsterdam at the age of six and developed a passion for music at a young age, particularly within the hip-hop scene. Alongside his musical activities, Dherl decided to pursue a degree in pedagogy, which eventually led to his combining music with social work. In 2010, he launched the Toekomst Muziek project as part of his thesis for his Pedagogy degree, inspired by his work as a youth counselor. Dherl sees music not just as a tool, but as a powerful medium for personal growth and self-expression. Through music, he helps young people discover their inner strength, address their problems, and grow as individuals. As a pedagogue and social entrepreneur, he envisions Toekomst Muziek growing sustainably, with young people themselves eventually taking over and carrying the project forward. His vision is to help youth carve their own paths, both in music and in other areas of life.

SEXYLAND World is a club, an art house, a meeting place, two restaurants, a hairdresser and a gallery. A labyrinth of diverse cultural, creative and social initiatives. A cacophony of spaces and programs, with one entrance door and a shared vision. The building is a necessary place for cultural freedom, inclusivity and creative experimentation. No closed doors, closed studios or offices, but 400m2 of organized chaos. A house where you can wander and get lost. Flexible and noisy, accessible and diverse, high and low quality and always unpretentious.
SEXYLAND World is an attempt to connect (sub)cultures, arts and other expressions of enthusiasm, across all layers of society. Solidarity and radical heterogeneity form the foundation; unexpected encounters are the result.

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.
