Ableton back at ADE Sound Lab with live sessions and more

As well as their own booth, which will showcase both the latest kit and all the classic Ableton range, Sound Lab visitors can attend three main live sessions with some amazing names demonstrating their working processes, performing, and getting into Q&As with the audience.

The first to be announced is a welcome appearance from floor-filling Berlin duo Skinnerbox. In this workshop, they will discuss the principles and benefits of improvising electronic music in a live performance. The two will share how to gather and convert studio ideas and take them to stage and how to prepare and tune your setup. In addition, they explain how to take advantage of 'mistakes' and dealing with the club environment in contrast to the comfort and safety of a studio.

ADE Sound Lab features intimate and revealing talks with major figures from the electronic scene. This years program will include XL Sessions with San Holo and NGHTMRE, Workshops about Living and creating in the moment with Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, focusing on mixing and production by David Wrench and How to start a record Label featuring Elena Colombi, Marco Faraone and Nastia.

For ADE MusicTalks the early AKAI MPC innovator Roger Linn and artists Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano have already been confirmed. ADE Sound Lab also features the annual Demolition panel with moderator and DJ Dave Clarke alongside a panel of top DJ talent, demo pitches and audiovisual installations, plus a broad range of hardware and software brands to try out including Ableton, Moog, Pioneer DJ and Roland.

ADE Sound Lab takes place from Wednesday, October 16th to Saturday, October 20th.
