The harder styles in electronic music have been actively blended into the ADE program this year.
At ADE this year the Hard Dance Event of the previous editions will be blended within the ADE main conference program.
As hardstyle grows, the time has come for the beloved sound to become fully integrated into the event. Years ago, ADE has set up the Hard Dance Event (HDE) with Q-Dance because they wanted to give the harder styles a bigger role during ADE. As the years went by, it was noticed that hardstyle finally got the attention it deserves. That’s why ADE team have decided to make a change to this year’s program.
From this year on, the harder styles will become part of the ADE Pro, ADE BeamLab, ADE Sound Lab and the ADE University program. This means that Hard Dance Event will no longer be a stand-alone event, but that you can enjoy multiple panels at these four ADE events, and more! In need of some guidance? Here is a nice comprehensive list of eight things to visit when you're into the harder styles:
A panel about Authenticity within the Dance Industry with hardstyle DJ’s DJ The Prophet, Warface and Maarten Vorwerk at ADE University. Ghost producing, purchasing Facebook likes and the DJ Mag Top 100: the dance industry isn’t always what it seems.
Maurice Fransen will tell us all about his research into the hardstyle scene during his panel Researching the Hardstyle Scene at ADE University. In this research, new insights were discovered about the visitors of hardstyle events and what drives them to visit these events. Definitely a must-visit for hardstyle aficionados.
In the studio with Phuture Noize at ADE Sound Lab. This next generation pioneer will be bringing his gear to ADE Sound Lab where you’ll be getting an intimate look into his makeshift studio set-up.
A panel about the art of stage design called The Creative Chain Revealed at ADE BeamLab. From the earliest concepts to the final product, the creatives of Q-Dance discuss what it takes to create the ultimate stage.
From underground to mainstream, the status of hardstyle within the dance scene has evolved immensely throughout the years. But what’s the reason behind the success of this sound that has been underground for so long? Find out in the ADE Pro panel How Hardstyle Became One of the Dominant Genres
