We were there at Amsterdam Dance Event for the first time. Finally our wish became true as we manage to attend the most important gathering for the EDM industry in Europe. This was the 17th edition of ADE and it was bigger and better than any other year. The most important artists in EDM at the moment hosted their own club nights in various venues in Amsterdam and the most important figures in EDM culture took part on the various panels that were organised in the three main buildings that ADE took place. The Felix Meritis, Dylan Hotel, Da Balie. During this very important platform for Electronic Dance Music several events and activities were running so someone could have something to attend. From ADE University that had as a goal to introduce young students to the magical world of EDM to latest dj gear showcase and  screenings of great films with subject matter related to EDM culture. Amsterdam Dance Event is the place to be for anyone who wishes to be in touch, leave and breath the fresh air of EDM.
On Thursday 18th of October at the brand new venue Undercurrent two worlds collided in a very successful way. The Full on Ferry event came together with the brand new concept of Rich Solarstone "Pure Trance" that is currently touring around the world. On the Pure Trance stage except Solarstone, Orkidea, Daniel Kandi, John OO Flemming and exceptional 1hour and half performance of the EDM producer Guiseppe Ottaviani. The Italian mastermind once again delivered what his reputation suggests with fantastic Live performance including his latest club anthems plus some experimentation with other artists tracks. He took his Live Performance in the next level for sure. After finishing his performance at the very hot stage we meet with him at the backstage for a very interesting and worth watching interview were he reveals a lot and he give us exclusive information too.

             
             First of all we ask him about his Live Performance at Pure Trance and he was satisfied with it. We then ask him if he feels that he is still Pure Trance or if he likes to incorporate other styles elements in his productions. He talk about the big success of his remix on the latest Paul van Dyk feat Plumb single I Dont Deserve You. We ask him about his collaboration with Solarstone for the track Falcons included on Solarstone's latest album Pure out on Black Hole recordings. He reveals great news about his forthcoming album and he tell us that he aspires to deliver a very different result  from his first one GO. It will include great collaborations with talented vocalists from around the globe. We ask him to give us more details about his current single Lost for Words featuring the magnificent Amba Shepherd. He tell us about the popularity of Trance Music in his homecountry Italy.  Finally we ask his opinion and perception of Amsterdam Dance Event and his importance for the EDM industry. Giuseppe is one of the best artists to have an interview with and he proves once again how down to earth and simple person remains despite his global success and recognition. You will Love HIM.

We Were There for first time at Amsterdam Dance Event. For 5 days from 17th till 21st of October the vibrant multicultural city of Amsterdam becomes the focus point of the Electronic Dance Music Industry. Now in its 17th year ADE is the most important platform about and around EDM as it combines very informative conferences, plenty of opportunities for networking and during the night spread across the city of Amsterdam wide variety of events that represent the various styles and substyles of EDM at the moment with appearances from the most famous djs and producers worldwide including Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and many more.
         On Thursday 18th of October the superstar dj and pioneer EDM producer Ferry Corsten presented for very first time at ADE is Full on Ferry show at the brand new event location Undercurrent in co-operation with the very successful event organisation company UDC. The show included mouthwatering solo performance by Ferry Corsten who played all his biggest hits and many of the forthcoming tracks including his collaboration with Markus Schulz and great guest performances from the Dutch dynamite Sied van Riel who blow our minds off, the legend producer Nick Bracegirdle with his influential project Chicane Live with hair raising performances of classics such as Saltwater, Showtek who unleash their manic harder side of house, Bassjackers with his punchy dirty dutch/epic house sound and Aly and Fila as the final set for an unforgettable uplifting full on climax. 
          The incredible event that was excellently conceived and organised in every little small detail included a 2nd room hosted by Solarstone with his Pure Trance concept that included performances by Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottaviani Live, Orkidea, Daniel Kandi & John OO Fleming. The music policy was Pure Uplifting trance the way we Loved and we continue to Love this genre.
           Ferry Corsten the following day took part on the great pannel "Every beat counts-How to invest in yourself"  organised by SENA responsible to protect the neighbouring rights of EDM artists  at Felix Meritis. The panel included also the Dutch female dj Marcella, Steve Rodway of the Motiv8 project and the real legend of soulful house the admirable singer Ce Ce Rogers. Ferry talked about and shared  his experience as an artist and successful label owner of Flashover recordings. He was really confident to present the various steps he took to establish himself and his company  and he urged the young artists to become more active in their self promotion as the world wide web offers countless opportunities to  promote their art and themselves as djs, artists and label owners.
   At the end of this very informative panel I requested Ferry to do an interview as always Ferry was very polite to accept it despite the fact that he had to finish his Once Upon A Night vol.3 compilation that will be out at the end of November. Within this superb interview Ferry Corsten talks about the big importance of ADE in the music industry and what is really going on in it. He give us his opinion about the explosion of the Electronic Dutch Music Industry and the dominance of Dutch EDM artists in a global scale. He make his positive appraisal of the Full on Ferry event. He comments for his guest artists, the Undercurrent venue and the event company UDC that he work together for various projects including Full on Ferry in Holland. He make a quick round up of the past events and he reveals the future Full on Ferry events all over the globe. He also answers on  the very important questions when a promoter books a Full on Ferry what is included in it. On the production front he tell us about his 2nd collaboration with Markus Schulz for the remake of the classic Jam & Spoon anthem Stella and we finish off with his forthcoming compilation Once Upon a Night vol3 that will be out soon on his joint venture Premier recordings along with Black Hole recordings. Ferry at its best and most creative period. You will Love Him!

We Were There for first time at the world famous Amsterdam Dance Event. It was the 17th year that this great Electronic Dance Music gathering took place and included not only very informative conferences and discussions about EDM culture and the industry that has grown up around it but also very entertaining events during the whole day like movie screenings and at night the best club events organised in the most famous locations in Amsterdam.
 
             In 2012 for the first time the floating venue/boat The Undercurrent hosted some of the most successful nights including Full on Ferry / Pure Trance event. On the big room superstar dj Ferry Corsten hosted his Full on Ferry concept with him playing his set and then b2b sets with his guests plus dj sets from his guests as well including Sied van Riel, Chicane Live, Bassjackers, Showtek, Aly & Fila and surprise appearance from Roger Shah too. On the second room Rich Solarstone presented his tour concept Pure Trance including great artists who played their "Pure Trance" sound including Orkidea, Giuseppe Ottaviani Live, John OO Flemming and the fantastic Danish superstar Daniel Kandi. He rocked the club with his uplifting anthems plus his more progressive infused tracks too. Daniel is on the rise and this performance proved that big time.
 
           Before he go on stage and after burning the cds with brand new tunes to play at the event we had a great interview with him that you should watch right now. We ask his opinion and experience for the Pure Trance event.  He tell us that he is not only uplifting trance producer and he likes to incorporate other elements as well in order to deliver a more versatile sound as this is illustrated in his 3 Strikes UR in single that was produced especially for Armin van Buuren's compilation Universal Religion Chapter 6. We discuss about his successful record label Always Alive and he tell us what kind of demos he expects to receive from established and brand new talents. He reveals all about his latest mix compilation Enhanced Sessions vol.3 that is out now on Enhanced recordings and the 2nd CD is mixed by Estiva. He tell us how long it took him to choose the tracks for this compilation and he choose the stand out tracks from it.  Also he talks about his experience of playing JJoo track in JJoo home country. Finally he talk about his main priority at the moment for his career. Daniel Kandi at his best so Watch it now!
