Interview with Dean Zlato, the winner of the Demolition Panel XXI at ADE 2017


Demolition Panel is always eagerly awaited moment at the end of Amsterdam Dance Event daily conference programme and this year it was once again an extremely satisfying  panel composed by well known artists who have delivered excellent opinion and well-founded criticism to help the artists who came forward to submit their demos with the hope to win the superb prizes and get the exposure and pride to be the winners of the all important Demolition Panel. The previous years the panel was scheduled at the end of the ADE Next which was targeted mainly to young upcoming electronic artists. This year ADE Next was part of the ADE Soundlab and ADE Hangout and the Demolition Panel XXI was again on Saturday evening at the superb De Brakke Grond location in central Amsterdam. 

Firstly the winners of the last year's panel Ilektrik had the opportunity to talk about their experience and how their career has progressed as result of winning the Demolition Panel prizes.



The Demolition Panel XXI was chaired by Dave Clarke and members of the jury were Mike Mango, Octave One and GoldFish, Louisahhh, and the helping hands of Niels Brands. 



After fierce competition with very strong and equally powerful demos, the winner artist was Dean Zlato from Australia with his unsigned track 'Happening. As we did last year, this time again we requested an interview with Dean  and he kindly accepted to talk to us about how he started his career, how and when he produced the winning track, his future plans and of course his opinion about ADE that he attends for 2nd time and he recommends to any artists to visit and become part of the global electronic music family.
