About the acts ( A-Z)

Altın Gün
On their debut album ‘On’ (Bongo Joe Records), Altin Gun show what happens when you open doors between Turkish folk songs and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs . The Amsterdammers who come from various backgrounds (Turkish but also Indonesian and Dutch) comfortably create their work in the adventurous no-man’s land that exists between these two worlds. Manço, Bağcan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gün, but their foremost inspiration is Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. You can compare him with the likes of Bob Dylan or George Gershwin to get the picture. The band performed over 100 shows in more than 10 countries this year and are ready to rock the world with a new album in 2019!

Baby Galaxy
Baby Galaxy are three friends from Maastricht (NL) who play wrangled and loud pop music. The band started when Nick Jongen (guitar/vocals), Robbert Verwijlen (bass) and Kees Berkers (drums) became neighbors and started jamming at their home in early 2015. A number of improvised rehearsal spaces and a musical repertoire followed shortly after. Intense drumming, bended guitars, harmonic bass and poppy vocals create an energetic, unique blend of indie rock. The nostalgic ghosts of 80’s noise rock and 90’s alternative rock can be heard shimmering through, yet Baby Galaxy succeed to create a unique, modern sound. Lyrically, the band mostly deals with personal issues in a creative and slightly absurd way.

Bazzookas
It’s a universal energy that comes from the beating heart of the 8-man-strong band. Based on a classic ska punk rhythm and happy rock-steady melodies, the band unleashes a stage energy that enriches really any festival. They roll up with brass instruments, bells and whistles in their big yellow American school bus, unpack, open up and go!  In the recent years they already left their marks throughout Europe, playing festivals like Pohoda (SK), Colors of Ostrava (CZ) and Sziget (HU). On top of the release of the double album 'skaradio.nl' and 'ska.world’ in 2017, Bazzookas host their own eponymous radio station ‘skaradio.nl’ and released the ‘ska.radio’ app to make sure it’s impossible to miss any second of the infectious energy and catchy flow the band lives and breathes.  At Reeperbahn Festival the Bazookas have been regular guests and they have always turned their discarded bus into a melting club. Satisfaction is guaranteed!

DEWOLFF
Dutch psychedelic southern rockers DEWOLFF are winning ground quickly with memorable shows at e.g. Pinkpop, Lowlands, Sziget, Open Flair, Rockpalast, Rock Oz'Arenes, Transmusicales and Montreux Jazz. They released "THRUST" - their debut album at Mascot Records - last May and have a massive European clubtour (58 shows) lined up starting right after Reeperbahn. Robert Plant, Roger Glover and Seasick Steve already turned into diehard fans, and how can they be wrong? So, you better come and check these amazing stage animals out before they hit it too big!

EUT
Bursting onto the scene with bold attitude, EUT brings a dose of energy to 1990s inspired tunes, drawing on influences from bands such as the Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blur, Weezer, Hole, Wilco and Beck. Fronted by the charismatic bundle of energy Megan de Klerk, the band crafts beautifully written songs with captivating melodies - all hooky, catchy pop tunes about youthfulness and growing up. EUT is dynamic and intriguing at once, without sounding too polished.

Inge van Calkar
Always dressed in white and with a matching white Fender Jazzmaster guitar as the finishing touch, Inge van Calkar is on a never-ending adventurous musical exploration, mixing pop songs, guitars and electronics on this curved and bumpy road, she occasionally crosses paths with the likes of Blondie, Garbage and Dua Lipa. Her first two singles from her upcoming album RESET, ‘I Don’t Mind and ‘River', were featured in some prominent Spotify playlists. These new steps puts her in modern times at a single blow. This is not your fragile singer-songwriter with a cute hat, as she likes to put it so beautifully. No, here's an artist who dares to stand on music's razor’s edge. Inge van Calkar's album RESET will be released September 29th in Vera in Groningen. Inge van Calkar's album RESET will be released September 29th in Vera in Groningen

Jett Rebel
The last 4 years in Holland, pop music took a turn and Jett Rebel was driving. You just could not ignore him. He's extravagant, pure of heart and does everything for the Music. Until it strikes him down. Sometimes literally... All Dutch media love to compare him with the biggest names in the history of pop music, but Jett Rebel is mainly being Jett Rebel, always trying to realize his personal ambitions. He wants to rock, rock and rock some more. An average Jett Rebel show lasts 3 hours, without ever losing focus nor energy. Like a passionate superhero he flies around on stage, coordinating every show with his charming enthusiasm, setting the band, as well as the crowd, on fire. Jett Rebel gives all he has got. To you. At a Jett Rebel concert he is there for you, and not the other way around. The last 4 years he played over 200 festivals sold out 4 club tours. If he's not on stage, he's in his studio recording albums. All instruments on his albums are played and recorded by himself, and (of course) he wrote all the songs. In a time where there's more demand for singles, Jett Rebel is an album-artist. They’re all stories with a beginning, a middle and an end. Every album has its own unique sound, because Jett Rebel constantly wants to reinvent himself. Feel free to hop on board of this high speed train!

Joep Beving
Dutch composer/pianist Joep Beving (42) was catapulted into stardom when his self released debut album Solipsism, initially made for family and friends, was picked up by Spotify and brought to millions of ears around the world. Where it was never really his intention to become a performing artist, he now is traveling the world and has played in sold out venues from the USA to Australia. Joep's music borrows from the classical vocabulary but seems to appeal to a broader audience, racking up over 200 million streams to date on the spotify platform alone. Following the success of his debut album, Joep signed to Deutsche Grammophon after their A&R person, responsible for new recordings, heard his vinyl in a bar in Berlin. He released his sophomore album Prehension together with them. While Joep is working on his third album to complete his trilogy, a side project was launched in collaboration with DG, to have some of Joep's compositions reinterpreted by other artists. This album, called 'Conatus', is scheduled to be released in September. After finishing his studies in public policy and administration, Joep spent a decade working in advertising before returning to his beloved piano.

Pieter de Graaf:
It can take a while for an artist to find their true calling. For Pieter de Graaf, he’s been searching since he sat next to his father, aged five, and watched him play the classics and the classical; the Beatles, the Stones, Chopin, Bach. As a teenager, Pieter de Graaf immersed himself in the world of jazz, dedicating hours to practice, and studying at the Conservatory of Rotterdam. For his new project, Pieter de Graaf went back to basics, resulting in the impressive debut album ‘Fermata’ and the birth of a new talent in the neo-classical world.His influences – Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, Rachmaninov, Bach, Chopin, Herbie Hancock, and above all Keith Jarrett – allowed him to combine easy melodies with more virtuoso passages without losing the meaning, or the essence, of each song. Surrender yourself to them and sink into their warm embrace; beauty is de Graaf’s true calling, and it’s a wonderful thing to experience.

Pip Blom
22-year-old Amsterdam based Pip Blom started writing, recording and releasing her own indie-pop tunes with a twist in 2016. Hours is still a live favourite from those early days. Nowadays, Pip Blom is a band with besides herself on vocals and guitar, brother Tender Blom on backing vocals and guitar, Casper van der Lans on bass and Gini Cameron on drums. They've played more than a hundred times in their short period of existence in the whole of Europe. They played small pubs and big festivals like Eurosonic Noorderslag and The Great Escape and were asked by Surfer Blood, Franz Ferdinand and The Breeders to join them on their various European tours. Pip's music did receive raving reviews from blogs and magazines (Noisey: "Pip Blom is ready to join the ranks of 2018's rising guitar acts") and UK radio loves her a lot. For example, she received acclaim from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley (“Perfect pop”) and Gideon Coe (“Excellent stuff”). Both I Think I'm in Love and Pussycat made it to the A-list of BBC 6-music.

Rosemary & Garlic
You might have heard Rosemary & Garlic while listening to your favourite Spotify playlists, like The Most Beautiful Songs in the World or Your Favourite Coffee House. The popularity of the DIY indie folk band has been rapidly growing since the release of The Kingfisher EP in 2015. Rosemary & Garlic have gained worldwide attention with their beautiful and poetic songs, each of them filled with a great sense of beauty, nature and image.

The Homesick
Dokkum, the home of, and probably the inspiration for The Homesick, whose sound plays on pop music. Not the kind with slick beats and audacious vocal effects, but rather the kind that is closer to The Beatles, that was created as an escape from reality and provides an antidote to boredom. The three lads from the North of The Netherlands make some pulsating noise pop that gets firmly stuck in the mind and on the dancefloor. Make no mistake, the teens run one of the best live bands around.

Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6q5SrkgP73lW6VpQnReiaS/about

The Mauskovic Dance Band
With each band member of varying heritage, the group draws inspiration from diverse genres: primarily Afro-Combian styles such as champed, palenque, cambia and the pico sound system culture, as well as the Afro-Discoband No-Wave scenes in their current base of Amsterdam. The city’s hotbed of underground producers has also brought an electronic to the band, with vintage drum machines and synthesisers effortlessly melding with Afro-Latin rhythms and slice guitar riffs to create a contemporary sound rich with cultural influence. Having toured extensively through Europe in 2017 as a staple of festivals and clubs, The Mauskovic Dance Band continues to build exciting momentum - with appearances at Eurosonic Noorderslag 2018 and extensive tour of the Netherlands coinciding with the launch of the EP.

Sea Dance Festival in Montenegro attracted 47, 000 visitors from over 30 countries

With the furious closing set by the unstoppable techno star Dax J, the curtain fell on the fifth edition of the Sea Dance Festival on Sunday morning. During the three nights and days, the festival gates at the beautiful Buljarica beach in Budva, Montenegro saw over 47,000 visitors come through them, from almost 30 countries of the world! The celebratory edition of the festival promoted by the acclaimed EXIT team behind the multi-awarded festival in the neighbouring Serbia, will stay remembered for great concerts and high-energy shows that next to the turquoise beach in the souther Adriatic Sea.

The honour to open the first day of the festival fell to one of the greatest music producers of the world, the legendary Nile Rodgers and his band Chic, who played some of the greatest hits in the history of popular music one after another. Belgian hit-maker Lost Frequencies also stormed the main stage, saying that Sea Dance was his “favourite and one of the best festivals in the world!”

Next day, the audience was made ecstatic by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, who prepared the craziest Sea Dance party so far, and then continued to have fun at the festival until it closed. Greek-Belgian duo brought the unadulterated atmosphere of their biggest shows over to Sea Dance, which went completely mad after they invited the male fans to throw their t-shirts into the air!

Techno heroine Nina Kraviz closed the second night of the festival and after she went through some very hard travel just to make it to the festival, she said it was well worth it. She played at the seaside edition of the infamous EXIT's No Sleep stage, dubbing its beach location truly fantastic.

Final night was marked by the Berlin magician, Paul Kalkbrenner, who showed the audience of main stage why he is one of the best world producers of today and how his live stadium performances brought the electronic scene to a whole new level. He brought his new album to Sea Dance as well, playing it for the first time in the Balkans, with anthems such as “Sky and Sand” and “Aaron” moving the audience that filled the collossall plato in front of main stage to the brim, and Kalkbrenner left the stage followed by ovations. Equally energetic was the performance of the new rock star, Alice Merton, whose great hit, “No Roots”, conquered the whole planet, and before which she asked the audience to leave their phones alone and sing along! The atmosphere was white hot, with the hits such as “Lash Out” and “Hit the ground running”, and the Montenegrin audience had the chance to hear her new single coming out next week, as well.

No Sleep Festival 2018 | Step into the Next Chapter: https://youtu.be/DhbOYW5QpYQ

Coming up next for EXIT team is their new No Sleep Festival, that will take place in Belgrade from 15th to 18th November, featuring round-the-clock program at several exciting locations across the Serbian capital, including the New Hangar, a mamouth warehouse in the Port of Belgrade, settled on river Danube. The city's well-known clubs like Drugstore and 20/44 will also take part in the festival that is set to grow in the coming years. Already announced are Nina Kraviz, Dax J, I Hate Models, Aleksi Perala and many more to join the bill in the following weeks.

Five reasons why you shouldn't miss this year’s ADE

Amsterdam Dance Event is undoubtedly the biggest electronic music conference in the world. Starting out as a relatively unassuming gathering back in 1995, when just 300 delegates and 30 DJs were in attendance, ADE now attracts over 350,000 visitors every year. During ADE the dutch capital hosts a myriad events from countless panels discussions at the main conference through to pop-up performances, tech schools and even a cooking competition.

The event is one of the highlights of the electronic music industry calendar with delegates flying in from all over the world to network, collaborate and hit the dance floor. ADE’s impact is felt throughout the industry every single year, with thousands of meetings occurring across the city, creating new relationships and helping many aspects of the dance music scene to continue flourishing, from the studios of the world’s greatest producers and the boardrooms of the biggest labels, to the bedrooms of the latest new stars and the DJ booths of the hottest new clubs. A veritable who’s who of dance music superstars is also in attendance every year, putting on parties at most of Amsterdam’s clubs, from intimate, underground and quirky spaces to the superclubs, so whether you’re keen to expand your business, or you simply want to party all week long (or both), there is something to please everyone.

Here are five reasons to get yourself over to ADE this year…

Meet lots of faces (new and old)
With such a huge number of international delegates flying in from every corner of the globe, there are so many opportunities to meet people face to face. Finally you can put an actual face to the name you’ve been emailing for the last year, or maybe you’ll bump into a mutual acquaintance who becomes your next business partner. As well as the dizzying number of formal meetings that are organised every year, there are just as many, if not more, meet-ups that happen completely by accident - on the street outside the Dylan, in cafes and coffee shops, on the dance floor or backstage. If you go home with less than 10 business cards you’ve done something wrong…

Discover new artists
ADE has become a mecca for electronic music artists. The travel to Amsterdam in the hope of pushing their careers forward, getting management or a booking agent, finding a label to sign their music or a gig to showcase their talent. This means there’s a good chance you’ll discover someone you’ve never heard of at ADE, simply because there are so many musicians trying to break through. Label showcases, debuts for newcomers at some of the bigger parties, impromptu street performances or in-store shows, it’s all happening - you just have to keep your ear to the ground. From David Guetta to Like Mike, Matt Sassari to Truncate, Mall Grab to I Hate Models, there are thousands of artists playing all over town, new and old. A good place to start is the ADE University, where wannabe artists are encouraged to attend workshops, talks, networking events and panel discussions aimed at helping them to become industry professionals.

Trial the latest technology
Every year the industry’s technology giants fly in to Amsterdam to present the music industry with their latest developments. Ableton, Pioneer, Native Instruments and many other hardware manufacturers see ADE as the perfect platform to deliver brand new concepts and innovations to delegates. At ADE Sound Lab you’ll find a smorgasboard of studio gear and equipment designed for those who have a penchant for live performance. Contemporary artists such as Bonobo and Joseph Capriati will be giving talks, alongside the legendary Orbital, whose new album is due for release this year. There are also plenty of opportunities to hear experienced producers discuss their creative process and masterclasses where you can witness live demonstrations of how they operate.

Absorb a ton of new info
Knowledge is power, as they say, and one thing you can be sure of at ADE is that you will learn at least a couple of new things that may well help you to get further with your business endeavours. Attending the conference will give you lots and lots of insight into how the industry works, opinions from a wide range of luminaries from all different aspects of the business and a ton of information comes forth during these crucial discussions. Whether it’s feminism and misogyny, the inner workings of a manager’s life, mental health, intimate one-to-one Q&As with dance music legends or panels that focus on how to get your foot in the door, ADE’s conference is a prime source of knowledge for many many industry heads. Speakers already announced include Alex Boateng, head of the Urban Division at Island Records, Bruce Carbone who was A&R at Def Jam and Shanti Das, who will be speaking about mental health and her campaign ‘Silencing The Shame’.

Party with progressive people
The Netherlands is one of the most forward-thinking and relaxed nations on Earth. Progressive policies on drugs, sex education, sports, creativity and wellbeing have helped shape their society into one that is open, inclusive and a lot more mature (in the best sense of the word) than many of their European cousins. That means the rave experience is just as open and inclusive, giving you the chance to experience unparalleled dance floor energy. From Shelter with its distinct booking policy, amazing sound system and underground vibe, to the likes of Paradiso, Melkweg, Air and the stupendous warehouse at NDSM, you cannot fail to find somewhere that will blow your mind - clubs where you can make friends with other ravers, where security treat you with respect and where you don’t feel as though you’re under surveillance the whole time. Expect to see legends like Paul Oakenfold, Dave Clarke, Luke Slater and Laurent Garnier, along with modern-day heroes Maya Jane Coles, Helena Hauff, Rebekah, Tale Of Us and many many more…

OCTAVE ONE ANNOUNCE SPECIAL ‘NEVER ON SUNDAY’ LIVE SHOW

From the altered minds of Octave One comes special Never On Sunday live show.

Detroit Techno producers Lenny and Lawrence Burden venture away from their world of the pounding dance floor and into a universe of switched up the beats and tempos with their electronic band Never On Sunday. First debuting in 1991 on Carl Craig’s classic label Retroactive with the track “The Journey”, the Burden brothers developed the sound of N.O.S. with slower deeper grooves and experimental beats & vocals.

With the success of this release, they produced N.O.S’s debut EP “Day by Day” in 1992 for their own 430 West Records. Limited to 300 signed white labels, the record quickly gained cult status and became a much sought after release by many vinyl enthusiasts. Abruptly stopping Never On Sunday’s production in 1992, Lenny and Lawrence continued to record under their uber-popular moniker Octave One, concentrating mainly on the 4/4 dance floor for several decades.

2018 brings the brothers back to a world that they missed greatly with a special performance in Rome on Sept 24th at Terme di Diocleziano with their first ever Never On Sunday live show. Incorporating their love for visual art interaction, urban beats, and experimental synthesis, the Never On Sunday concert experience will bring all their worlds together. To make the occasion even more special, the brothers have returned to the studio with a new vocalists, Karina Mia, composing new material for the concert as well as recording a new EP for 2019 release.

Octave One Presents ‘Never on Sunday’

Date: 24th September

About the acts

Altın Gün
On their debut album ‘On’ (Bongo Joe Records), Altin Gun show what happens when you open doors between Turkish folk songs and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs . The Amsterdammers who come from various backgrounds (Turkish but also Indonesian and Dutch) comfortably create their work in the adventurous no-man’s land that exists between these two worlds. Manço, Bağcan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gün, but their foremost inspiration is Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. You can compare him with the likes of Bob Dylan or George Gershwin to get the picture. The band performed over 100 shows in more than 10 countries this year and are ready to rock the world with a new album in 2019!

Baby Galaxy
Baby Galaxy are three friends from Maastricht (NL) who play wrangled and loud pop music. The band started when Nick Jongen (guitar/vocals), Robbert Verwijlen (bass) and Kees Berkers (drums) became neighbors and started jamming at their home in early 2015. A number of improvised rehearsal spaces and a musical repertoire followed shortly after. Intense drumming, bended guitars, harmonic bass and poppy vocals create an energetic, unique blend of indie rock. The nostalgic ghosts of 80’s noise rock and 90’s alternative rock can be heard shimmering through, yet Baby Galaxy succeed to create a unique, modern sound. Lyrically, the band mostly deals with personal issues in a creative and slightly absurd way.

DEWOLFF
Dutch psychedelic southern rockers DEWOLFF are winning ground quickly with memorable shows at e.g. Pinkpop, Lowlands, Sziget, Open Flair, Rockpalast, Rock Oz'Arenes, Transmusicales and Montreux Jazz. They released "THRUST" - their debut album at Mascot Records - last May and have a massive European clubtour (58 shows) lined up starting right after Reeperbahn. Robert Plant, Roger Glover and Seasick Steve already turned into diehard fans, and how can they be wrong? So, you better come and check these amazing stage animals out before they hit it too big!

Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OHnmln4huMiBLyxBHNx0k?si=6PiWHNszSQCxzH8-OGEsVw

EUT
Bursting onto the scene with bold attitude, EUT brings a dose of energy to 1990s inspired tunes, drawing on influences from bands such as the Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blur, Weezer, Hole, Wilco and Beck. Fronted by the charismatic bundle of energy Megan de Klerk, the band crafts beautifully written songs with captivating melodies - all hooky, catchy pop tunes about youthfulness and growing up. EUT is dynamic and intriguing at once, without sounding too polished.

Joep Beving
Dutch composer/pianist Joep Beving (42) was catapulted into stardom when his self released debut album Solipsism, initially made for family and friends, was picked up by Spotify and brought to millions of ears around the world. Where it was never really his intention to become a performing artist, he now is traveling the world and has played in sold out venues from the USA to Australia. Joep's music borrows from the classical vocabulary but seems to appeal to a broader audience, racking up over 200 million streams to date on the spotify platform alone. Following the success of his debut album, Joep signed to Deutsche Grammophon after their A&R person, responsible for new recordings, heard his vinyl in a bar in Berlin. He released his sophomore album Prehension together with them. While Joep is working on his third album to complete his trilogy, a side project was launched in collaboration with DG, to have some of Joep's compositions reinterpreted by other artists. This album, called 'Conatus', is scheduled to be released in September. After finishing his studies in public policy and administration, Joep spent a decade working in advertising before returning to his beloved piano."

Pieter de Graaf:
It can take a while for an artist to find their true calling. For Pieter de Graaf, he’s been searching since he sat next to his father, aged five, and watched him play the classics and the classical; the Beatles, the Stones, Chopin, Bach. As a teenager, Pieter de Graaf immersed himself in the world of jazz, dedicating hours to practice, and studying at the Conservatory of Rotterdam. For his new project, Pieter de Graaf went back to basics, resulting in the impressive debut album ‘Fermata’ and the birth of a new talent in the neo-classical world. His influences – Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, Rachmaninov, Bach, Chopin, Herbie Hancock, and above all Keith Jarrett – allowed him to combine easy melodies with more virtuoso passages without losing the meaning, or the essence, of each song. Surrender yourself to them and sink into their warm embrace; beauty is de Graaf’s true calling, and it’s a wonderful thing to experience.

Pip Blom

22-year-old Amsterdam based Pip Blom started writing, recording and releasing her own indie-pop tunes with a twist in 2016. Hours is still a live favourite from those early days. Nowadays, Pip Blom is a band with besides herself on vocals and guitar, brother Tender Blom on backing vocals and guitar, Casper van der Lans on bass and Gini Cameron on drums. They've played more than a hundred times in their short period of existence in the whole of Europe. They played small pubs and big festivals like Eurosonic Noorderslag and The Great Escape and were asked by Surfer Blood, Franz Ferdinand and The Breeders to join them on their various European tours. Pip's music did receive raving reviews from blogs and magazines (Noisey: "Pip Blom is ready to join the ranks of 2018's rising guitar acts") and UK radio loves her a lot. For example, she received acclaim from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley (“Perfect pop”) and Gideon Coe (“Excellent stuff”). Both I Think I'm in Love and Pussycat made it to the A-list of BBC 6-music.

Rosemary & Garlic

You might have heard Rosemary & Garlic while listening to your favourite Spotify playlists, like The Most Beautiful Songs in the World or Your Favourite Coffee House. The popularity of the DIY indie folk band has been rapidly growing since the release of The Kingfisher EP in 2015. Rosemary & Garlic have gained worldwide attention with their beautiful and poetic songs, each of them filled with a great sense of beauty, nature and image.

The Homesick

Dokkum, the home of, and probably the inspiration for The Homesick, whose sound plays on pop music. Not the kind with slick beats and audacious vocal effects, but rather the kind that is closer to The Beatles, that was created as an escape from reality and provides an antidote to boredom. The three lads from the North of The Netherlands make some pulsating noise pop that gets firmly stuck in the mind and on the dancefloor. Make no mistake, the teens run one of the best live bands around.

Sanchotene contributed to the international growth of ID&T, among others in her role as VP Business Development. Originally from Brazil, she now lives in Amsterdam with her family.

The Amsterdam Dance Event is pleased with the appointment of both Maas and Sanchotene. “The step towards independence, Mariana’s start as Director and Willemijn’s start as Chairman, all contribute to the reinforcement and sustainability of ADE as the world’s most important event for electronic music. We are confident that with Mariana Sanchotene at the helm the Amsterdam Dance Event will remain as such”, remarks Buma Cultuur Director Frank Helmink on behalf of ADE.

Legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic are headlining Sea Dance Festival!

Music legend, multiple GRAMMY-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist Nile Rodgers will perform alongside his legendary group Chic on Thursday, August 30, at the spectacular opening of this year's fifth edition of the Sea Dance Festival! As the co-founder of CHIC and the newly elected Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like “Le Freak,” (the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records!) and sparked the advent of hip-hop with “Good Times”. He influenced the development of popular music, expanding its boundaries and stands behind some of the greatest hits and albums of the world's greatest stars such as David Bowie, Madonna, Duran Duran, Daft Punk, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, George Michael, Bryan Ferry, B-52s, INXS and many, many others. His productions for artists like David Bowie, Diana Ross, and Madonna have sold over 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide, while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk on "Get lucky", perhaps the biggest summer hit of this decade, and Lady Gaga, David Guetta, Avicii, Pharrell Williams, Kylie Minogue, Pitbull, Sigala, Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect the vanguard of contemporary music. His work transcends all styles of music across every generation with a body of work that’s garnered him inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2017) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2016). Nile Rodgers & CHIC will be releasing their first new album in 25 years, “It’s About Time” in September his year.

First Artists announced for ADE LIVE 2018

The electronic live music program during ADE will feature Róisín Murphy, Agar Agar, Red Axes (live) and Eefje de Visser, among others.

Following up on recent news about Intercell and the MATANGI, MAYA, M.I.A. premiere, we bring you a fresh breath of musical air with the first confirmed artists for ADE LIVE 2018.

For the past three years, live music has had an important position within the ADE festival program through ADE LIVE. Paradiso, Melkweg and Sugar Factory joined forces again this year during the two-day program, allowing visitors to discover the latest electronic live acts and honour established names.

Last year, renowned artists like Fatima Yamaha, Hercules & Love Affair and Marian Hill played next to (then) emerging acts such as Nambyar, Phlake and Témé Tan and showed that electronic live music deserves a prominent place within ADE's offering.

This year's program will leave an even bigger mark on our festival program, thanks to the queen of nu-disco: Róisín Murphy. Ever since her Moloko days, the Irish vocalist has been able to innovate and surprise us with her unusual pop music. Together with the synth-heavy electro music of Agar Agar, the punky techno of Red Axes [live] and the dreamscapes of Eefje de Visser, the third edition of ADE LIVE promises yet again to offer a wide range of musical talent.
