With ADE fast approaching, we are now seriously ready to get started. One of the highlights of ADE Pro is the annual Gamechangers panel featuring a diverse selection of exceptional individuals who, one way or another, have helped transform electronic music culture.
Using innovation, invention, imagination and instinct, each one has created something from nothing, and Gamechangers explores how they did it, and what separates them as individuals from the rest of their peers.
This year we welcome DJ and producer Arthur Baker, mostly known from his legendary track with Afrika Bambaataa 'Planet Rock', which created the benchmark for hip hop, electro and house in 1982, Jean-Michel Jarre, a pioneer of electronic music who brought the genre to new peaks of mainstream popularity in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, selling over 80 million albums worldwide, legendary producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold, and the CEO of Native Instruments Daniel Haver, the driving force behind products like Traktor and Maschine.
So, to get you in the mood, we dug up the video of last year's Gamechangers with Giorgio 'I feel love' Moroder, hitmaker supreme Nile Rodgers, Dave 'Mr. Midi' Smith, Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder, India's Sunburn Festival Founder Shailendra Singh, and co-founder of Ableton Gerhard Behles. Enjoy and see you in a couple of days!
ADEConference: ADE Pro: Gamechangers Part III, Thursday October 16, 4:45 pm - 6 pm, Felix Meritis.
