Alright dance fam, let’s talk. If you haven’t already heard the buzz, the Amsterdam Dance Event just dropped some serious news about their 2025 conference and festival, and honestly? It’s giving everything we need and more.
First off, the speaker lineup is absolutely stacked. We’re talking Skepta and Hannah Laing leading the charge, among other heavy-hitters. Skepta? In an ADE conference room? That’s not just a keynote—that’s a moment. The man is a legend, a genre-bending icon who’s reshaped the sound of modern music. To have his perspective on the industry, creativity, and the future of sound is priceless. And Hannah Laing? She’s been on a meteoric rise, absolutely killing it with her infectious energy and powerhouse tracks. Having her insights alongside Skepta’s? That’s the kind of forward-thinking, diverse lineup that makes ADE so special.
But let’s be real—ADE isn’t just about the conference panels (as incredible as they are). It’s about the city coming alive with the sound of music. And Resident Advisor is already teasing the "best parties" happening across Amsterdam. Imagine: from intimate, underground techno bunkers to massive, euphoric house celebrations, the entire city becomes one giant, pulsating dancefloor. The energy is simply unmatched.
What’s truly exciting is how ADE consistently bridges the gap between the business side of music and the pure, unadulterated joy of the party. It’s where industry legends and rising stars share the same space, where deals are made on the dancefloor, and where the next big sound is born in a smoke-filled room at 4 AM.
For anyone in the electronic music world—whether you’re an artist, a DJ, a producer, a superfan, or just someone who lives for that kick drum—mark your calendars. This is the pilgrimage. This is where you witness the future of dance music unfold right before your eyes (and ears).
The countdown to October 2025 is officially on. See you in Amsterdam
