Why so excited for ADE?? :D

Well…first of all…did you see “Gashouder’s” crazy fireworks?? :)) If not, see below :D



This arena was one of the first triggers I had some years ago for the Amsterdam Dance Event. Richie Hawtin’s gig had in this “explosive” scene, both in music as also in show – there was this huge round shaped place, a B O M B drop of Richie and all of the sudden, these fireworks going in the circular Gashouder…weeeeiiiiooooooo, weeeeiiioooooooo, weeeeiiioooooo!!!!


The people in Gashouder were sent to another dimension for sure! I was at least, in front of the laptop, playing a Youtube video at the time.

I said to myself…”I really need to experience this!”. So I've put it on my bucket list. :D


N.B. Never forget to wish, chase your dreams and make new ones! It keeps you going! ;)


There have been going on some years since my wish for Gashouder and ADE, and I have to admit that Sonar Festival and OFF Sonar took my eyes off everything in the last two years...I was simply astonished by what I have discovered and felt in Barcelona during the summer festival. <3


Nevertheless, I haven’t forgotten about the autumn time, when I can experience the same city fuss in a festival, as ADE takes place in several venues of Amsterdam – I believe that most festival people would probably see Sonar and ADE like hot and cold twin festivals.


This can only make me dream even more about the day I shall set foot again in Amsterdam and start exploring the city through an electronic music festival. Wohooo!!!! Can’t wait! #hihi


N.B. 2 - Amsterdam Dance Event is not only a music played festival, but also a good study for all the people who work, are involved or want to develop a carreer in this show business. Here you can see and learn about getting the job done in good parameters and in great style! Just see the conference "line-up" and join the one that suits you best! :D


It is not only about gigs in giant venues, wild show effects or even about the awesome music that will be over there (though I can’t wait to indulge my ears and eyes with this huge music project) … It is also about the people fuss over there.


People of the festival – a massive cultural exchange and a full speed friendship engine. I am inlove with this festival characteristic.


I have met so many beautiful, fun, nice, helpful and different people during this raving girl time, and I am the same happy about it as I am curious also on each festival – to see what new friends I will make – where will they be from, what languages will they speak, what will I learn new – what new gadget I am gonna find out about and what new music trends I am gonna discover.


Another reason for which I’m impatient to arrive at ADE, is that I’m gonna meet some of my festival friends over – and I am crazy happy about it. It’s like a family reunion <3 But multi-cultural.


I can’t wait to meet the crazy group of Italians, my friends since 2 years of Sonar – the group that has made the festival feel even more magic than it already was, back in 2014. #wohooooo!!! <3


My friend, the Bulgarian, another strong connection through techno music – he has become a close friend during the years, just because we share the same feeling in music, parties and festivals. We settled a meet up in Amsterdam, so for sure, we’re gonna catch up a bit and also I’ll be widening my Bulgarian friends circle soon! <3


The Japanese…I would have never imagined. Or at least, not this soon, to meet this nice group of Japanese people that would change the air a bit in the festival friendship zone. They came at a point where I was beginning to be more curious about the Japanese culture, life, music and tunning :P


I was very happy to party with these guys - good music, nice vibe and inspirational trends in clothing and accessories <3 – plus that I’ve learned some stuff about their writing and alphabet. :D very nice experience.


I am thankful to the Italians that I met them, I am thankful to the festival wander around that I got the chance to spend time with them and I hope we’ll all meet this week also.

Altogether, it is a perfectly matching a multi-cultural puzzle. And I’m curious what other cultures will be joining this year <3


Heads up for those of you who have heard of Romanian played techno - Another friend of mine will be joining also, but he will attend from behind the decks - Mircea Ivan - who has made his way through Romanian audience, and now he is playing the 3rd year in a row at ADE.

Congrats, Mircea! And keep up the good work! :D


I am posting one of his latest sets, so that you understand better what we're talking about :) ​​


He has been playing solo or in the duo Mirror States, in several gigs in Bucharest and Romania, to parties that have meant a lot to the Romanian clubbing scene. And we are thankful to Main Sounds organizer for that! Great job, guys! :D


Of course, no festival without Dubfire :D


Besides the Dockyard event where he will be playing, I am very eager to get to the Music Talks of two of the most creative talents in the electronic DJs industry – Richie Hawtin and Dubfire. This will be a great combo to attend to – and I believe it will be an interesting approach regarding today’s music and events – through the eyes of the masters. <3


If you're interested in joining also the theory of the techno madness and show, you need to grant your ADE card and just present yourself at the venue. :)


Funny thing is that – I’m gonna be a counter time, runawayrainbow again :)))


After the Music Talks, where I’ll be arriving after Dockyards’ volunteer program, I’ll be heading to the RijksMuseum for Maceo Plex’s gig – a whole new and different experience than I’ve had until now with his gigs. Can’t wait for that one also.


If you were wondering what this volunteering thing at Dockyard was about – I’ve decided this year that I want to try out also this experience – being part of the magic put together. <3 Let’s see how it is. :D


Aaaaand after Maceo’s Audio Obscura, I’ll be meeting you guys at the festival at Loveland <3

It’s my first experience also with Enter <3 Having names like Hito, Fabio Florido, Julian Jeweil, Recondite, Gaiser, Whyt Noyz, Richie Hawtin and many more, just make me even more impatient about the night.


Of course there will be crazy Saturday with Dockyard, where I am sooo enthusiastic with names like Art Department, Paul Ritch, Fer BR, Paco Osuna, SHADED, the great Dubfire Live Hybrid show and +10 more artists that will contour a crazy party during the whole day.


So that the counter time stands valid, I’m gonna close all this with Awakenings Invite at the magnificent Gashouder, where I’ll have my first session of Joseph Capriati, together with preferred artists like Luigi Madonna and Pan Pot. :D + the awesome fireworks show, that for sure will be a BLAST! <3 <3 <3


All in all, I just can’t wait to relax a bit with a cruising time on Amsterdam’s canals. Another new experience I am very looking forward to have.


Hope to meet many of you over there and dance all these days in high BPM and crazy experiences.


See you on the after ADE posts also! :D #hihi
