ADE's platform for up and coming DJs, musicians, producers and artists, provides even more possibilities for your music this year.
After the recent announcements about the ADE SLEEP/OVER and our festival program we now turn our focus to ADE Next, ADE's forum for the young and talented taking place at Felix Meritis on Saturday October 22.
First up: there have been some additions to the ADE Next program. Besides our annual demo pitches and the 20th edition of the Demolition Panel featuring Dave Clarke, you can take part in our first ever sync competition and you get the chance to have your track mastered by one of the world’s greatest sound engineers!
