The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), an initiative of Buma, has grown into the world’s largest and most influential club-based festival and conference for electronic music. The five-day event attracts visitors from over 146 countries and features every conceivable aspect of electronic music culture, with dedicated conference programming, an extensive arts & culture program, live music and DJ/artist performances, all spread across the city of Amsterdam.
More information about ADE can be found here.
Faralda Crane Hotel is a mind blowing and a once a lifetime experience. Ok, it’s a bit strange, the best underground venue hidden on top of a monumental harbour crane. Faralda club invites world leading DJ’s. Private & invites only. Access is on request. But don’t expect a mainstream hotel. It’s a crane! Faralda is a mind blowing and the once in a lifetime experience. It’s excessive. You’ll love it, or you hate it.

We visited so many events in a few days and we are still processing all of what happened, until now. We are super grateful to have insight into such an extraordinary festival! Definitely the best adventure that happened to us last year.
Huge congrats to the whole crew and all the artists for making that happen in such a short time due to the constantly changing corona restrictions.
We are grateful to @daveclarkeofficial for a great time together and having the photoshoot with us & his killer set at @melkwegamsterdam
It was great to catch up with the @cranesessions crew and their sick location, definitely the most surprising spot we could imagine at a party powered by various hosts like @intothewoodsfestival & @exitfestival .
Definitely one of our most memorable show was at insane @paradisoadam prepared by @stoorlab @jochempaap @ladystarlightnyc @steve_rachmad_sterac @colinbenders .
We had so much fun during the show of Nina Kraviz and her crew from Trip Recordings, also we had pleasure to meet Anna Bogomolova, film director ‘Dance is a Rave-olution’ which we are presenting below.

ADE will take you on a short journey celebrating the intrinsic value of club culture, electronic music, dancing, raving, and all the unique connections we make in between, in the short film ‘Dance is a Rave-olution’. As we’re getting ready to kick off the road to ADE 2022, the documentary perfectly captures the almost indescribable expression of freedom and personality on dance floors all over the globe.
