About ADE
ADE consists of a conference (day) and festival (day & night) program. Which basically means that the city of Amsterdam is all about electronic music for five day and nights, with events in around 160 locations. 

Program: artists and speakers
In 2017, ADE featured over 2,500 artists and 550 speakers. The line-ups for the single festival events will be announced in the coming months and the complete day and night program will be finalized in September.

In the meantime you can sign up here to get personalized ticket updates and to create and save your personal program.

Of course, ADE is about having fun. But it also means business. Which is why over 9,000 professional delegates from over 90 countries visit ADE to network and exchange ideas. Most of them are working in the field of electronic music, but ADE also attracts numerous delegates from outside the scene. Whether you're looking for examples of great branding, innovative technology or just the latest musical trends, we've got you covered with our multiple conference tracks.

An ADE Pass or an ADE Conference Pass also gives you access to our online database. Single festival tickets will be available here.

Day program: gear demonstrations, Studio XL sessions, films, expositions & much more.
ADE features lots of daytime events for (electronic) music enthusiasts. If you're planning on visiting one or more parties, why not stay a little bit longer?

The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the world’s leading event for electronic music, will take place from the 17th to 21st of October, 2018. The organisers are expecting around 400,000 national and international visitors for the 23rd edition.

During ADE there will be a range of activities focused on South Korea. Director Richard Zijlma states: “The South Korean electronic music scene is growing rapidly, thanks to technological innovation and smart crossovers. During ADE we will focus on the very best the country has to offer across a wide range of festival and conference events.”

The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), an initiative of Buma, is the world’s largest club-based festival and conference for electronic music. The event continues to grow and develop each year, with last year’s edition featuring over 2,500 artists and 550 speakers in a record breaking 160 venues. The event attracted visitors from over 90 countries over five days featuring every conceivable aspect of electronic music culture.

The organisers are committed to growing the day and nighttime activities once again in 2018 through established partnerships with cultural institutions, and by adding new pavilions focused on countries. “The addition of pavilions creates extra possibilities to meet and network for music industry professionals but also provides a means to show the innovative power of individual territories in front of an international audience,” states Zijlma.

The ADE Pass (access to the complete day 5 day & night program) and the ADE Conference Pass (access to the complete 4 day program) are on sale against Early Bird Rate now and available here. Single tickets for both festival and conference events will go on the ADE site from June 1st onwards.

Amsterdam Dance Event is always great opportunity to catch up with superb Dutch artists like Daniel Wanrooy. We requested an interview with him and I'm very glad he accepted the challenge to talk about his past, present and future of his career. With a busy schedule of releases on variety of labels including Black Hole recordings, High Contrast Recordings and as Borderless at Armada Music Daniel has certainly a lot of interesting stories to share and in this interview he take us back in time when he was warming up for Tiesto to present with top notch trance anthems and the future prospects with the forthcoming release of his album One as Borderless at Armada Music which is more experimental, leftfield, progressive project that explores all the shades and colours of electronic music.  

"Hailing from the flatlands of Dordrecht, Southern Holland, Daniel Wanrooy is official remixer for no one less than Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5, Sander Kleinenberg, The Crystal Method and many more. No wonder he has been influencing the playlists of some of the world’s biggest & best artists for the last decade. Both as producer and DJ his evocative, imaginative music has successfully cross-bred virtually every subgenre of nowadays Electronic Dance Music. His music got support by several DJ Mag no. 1 DJ’s like Tiësto, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Martin Garrix and many more!

Daniel’s career really started to take off from the early 2000’s. Daniel was spotted by the mighty Tiësto, who took Daniel under his wing, supporting him around the globe and took him as support for his tour through Europe. 

During the years the superstar DJ used a total of 5 tracks of Daniel’s work on his mega-selling “In Search of Sunrise” series. His first album “Different Day, Different Light” was credited by MTV as “two hours of fascinating music”, receiving a huge reception from press and DJs alike. His second album “Slice Of Life” was also a massive success, with the music video USA Idols finalist Blake Lewis for their single “Stay In The Moment”. 

During his Slice Of Life world tour he was special guest on national Malaysian television during the “Hello on 2” breakfast show for over 5 million live viewers. Daniel Wanrooy has works with & released on such labels as Spinnin’ Records, Mixmash, Armada Music, Electronic Elements, Black Hole Recordings, EMI, Magik Muzik to name a few.... achievements that most artists can only dream of.

A wish to see his tracks working from the perspective of the DJ booth along with a desire to travel the globe prompted Daniel to take the DJing plunge. Daniel threw himself headfirst into his performances playing to over 15,000 strong crowds across the World! 

Definite highlists during his career were spinning at the legendary Heineken Hall in Amsterdam, Trance Energy - Holland, Winter Music Conference - USA, Technoparade - France, Myst Shanghai - China ,The Point (TIËSTO tour) - Ireland, Es Paradis - Ibiza, Eden - Ibiza, FFWD Dance Parade - Holland, Hellinikon Complex (TIËSTO tour) - Greece, Luxy - Taipei, Oslo Streetparade - Norway, Monday Bar Cruise - Sweden, Brixton Academy - England, Carling Academy - Scotland, Suikerrock - Belgium, Halo - South Africa, Rising Festival Malaysia, Mysterious World - Indonesia and many many more." taken from his facebook about page.

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.

At the final panel of the Amsterdam Dance Event on Saturday night during ADE Soundlab, the legendary Demolition Panel XXI hosted by the techno legend Dave Clarke, we had the pleasure to enjoy GoldFish incredible input as members of the experts jury who have offered their well founded opinion and criticism on variety of demos submitted by young and emerging artists who aspire to get their recognition at ADE which is considered to be the primer platform for the global electronic music community including industry and fans. At the end of the panel I requested to have an interview with them and I'm very glad to be able to present you an interview conducted at ADE with GoldFish. 

GoldFish, an electronic duo from the Southern-most tip of Africa, have gone from one of Dance Music’s best kept secrets to leading exponents of the Live Electronic Music scene. Their pioneering mix of saxophones, flute, double bass, keyboards and pounding House beats has touched a nerve with audiences across the world, coining the moniker ‘Re-Inventing the DJ.’ Once you experience a GoldFish live performance, you immediately know you are witnessing something special. 

Between their grueling touring schedule, recording and surfing in all four corners of the globe, Dom and Dave have been quietly and steadily building a reputation for incendiary lives shows and hyper-catchy releases that are poised to spill them over into the mainstream consciousness. Their most recent release "Deep of the Night" just cracked 1 million streams and counting on Spotify. Other highlights including countless sold out performances and festival appearances everywhere, a top 10 on the US iTunes Dance chart, multiple SAMA’s, an MTV Africa award, a four-year residency at Pacha Ibiza, and a list of DJ’s including Robin Shulz, Klingande, Thomas Jack and Sam Feldt dropping their tracks as staples in their sets. Their unique and often controversial animated music videos have garnered tens of millions of views online, with a cult following eagerly awaiting the next installment. It’s almost hard to believe that not so long ago they were just Dom and Dave, two music students who led a relatively chilled life surfing and playing music in their original home of Cape Town. All that really did change when they decided to record an album.

Not having a record deal or many resources, they simply locked themselves in a bedroom...with a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths, recording their debut 'Caught In The Loop' on their own. A timeless dance/chill out record that received massive support from the international dance music scene, searching for something fresh and new. Pete Tong even called it his Ibiza Poolside Album of the Summer. A residency at Pacha Ibiza followed, and the Fishies honed their sound at one of the worlds’ most iconic superclubs before releasing 'Perceptions Of Pacha,' garnering a record-breaking 8 South African Music Award nominations and platinum sales in their home country. They followed this up with another SAMA award winning album 'Get Busy Living' (2010), and MTV Africa award winning 'Three Second Memory' (2013). 

To get closer to the hotbed of dance music in America, the duo are now based in San Diego, focussing on their forthcoming new album 'Tipping The Scales' (2017), a jam-packed touring schedule - and definitely exploring the surf around California during the process. Already, they’ve begun conquering the stateside festival landscape. With a whirlwind of upcoming tour dates ahead, along with a new album deal inked with Armada Music, it’s clear that all eyes in the world’s fishbowl will continue to be locked on GoldFish for the foreseeable future.



In this interview they talk about the process of recording their album Late Night People which is is recently released on Armada Music, their live gig at ADE and of course their very positive opinion about Amsterdam Dance Event and how important has been for their career. It's their 9th time at ADE and definitely its not going to be their last one. Enjoy their answers right here, right now.



Check GoldFish - Late Night People out now on Armada Music



Listen or download the new album of GoldFish here: https://Goldfish.lnk.to/LNP

Remember the time when GoldFish weren’t churning out soul-inspiring records? Neither can we. No matter where or when it’s played, their music radiates a sense of coming home, of discovering a piece of the world that has yet remained unclaimed and untainted. That’s exactly what the South African duo’s next album builds on.

In ‘Late Night People’, the signature vibes of GoldFish have evolved and adapted to mesmerize an even wider range of dance music lovers. Between its funky and sexy title track, the upbeat ‘If I Could Find’ and the ever-vibrant ‘Rising Sun’ (with Pontifexx and Gustavo Bertoni), the album harbors twelve records that are as diverse as they are alike, coexisting peacefully.

As proven by their previous four albums , you can leave it to GoldFish to deliver a body of work that’s both kaleidoscopic and unified. But most of all, this album is here for whomever brilliantly crafted music is indispensable. It is here for the ‘Late Night People’.
