Posted by VMan on September 17, 2016
Amsterdam Dance Event 2016 is now only a month away, and we couldn’t be more excited! Every year the dance music world unites in October for 5 days of festivities, and panels to celebrate dance music, and showcase the hottest talents of today and tomorrow. This will be the fourth year we attend, and if you’ve never been, and you’d like to go, don’t think twice, do it!
We’re personally getting situated with who to see, what to do, and where to go, but we trust the music and city of Amsterdam will take good care of us. With names like Craig David, Oliver Heldens on the first night October to set it off, and Sam Feldt, Yellow Claw, Chainsmokers, Tiesto, Netsky, and Martin Solveig to name a few, the event already sounds like a success. We’ll have your itinerary all sorted in the weeks leading up to it, and expect plenty of Facebook live interviews while we’re out there!

I was put on to Keljet during my time in Amsterdam for ADE, and a part from being super cool dudes, and talented producers, they really knew how to put on a show, and I’ve been a fan since! This time around, these guys remixed Tobtok’s “Savanna,” and it’s bringing sunlight to this rainy day, on that uplifting soul vibe. This is one you’re going to want to hear, the vocals are orgasmic, it’s a must listen!

As most of you are eagerly anticipating TomorrowWorld in the next coming weeks, here at FNT we have our eyes set on Amsterdam Dance Event, the most exciting dance event in the world which brings together artists, producers, press agents, labels, managers, journalists, and pretty much anyone or everyone who’s affiliated with dance music and is willing to be a part of this event from October 15 to October 19. Last year Nimada and I attended the event, linking up with DJ Snake, Calvin Harris, Ayah Marar, Duke Dumont, TEED, DJ Shadow and many many more, so it was obvious to us that we had to come back this year. In honor of our attendance we’ve decided to put together the top 5 reasons to attend ADE, and yes it’s Amsterdam, so you can already imagine what the city has to offer, but believe us when we say, we’re going for the music!

Events, Exclusive | Countdown to ADE Spotlight: Rustie
Posted by mimada on October 16, 2013
Tomorrow, Fresh New Tracks will be jetting off to the Netherlands for ADE: Amsterdam Dance Event, a five-day electronic music festival, conference, and playground taking over the city. Leading up to ADE, we’ll be filling you in on just who and what we’re looking forward to seeing most. And if any of you out there have any insider tips on the best acts to catch, drop either VMan or myself a line and we’ll be sure to add it to our list.
Name: Rustie
Born: January 4th, 1983 (30)
Homebase: Glasgow
Previous Occupations: Apprentice park keeper and tractor operator (source)
Latest Release: “Triadzz / Slasherr”
I’m ashamed to admit producer Rustie really only entered my radar within the past 6 months after falling head over heels in love with the Flume remix of “Slasherr” and consequently the EP’s other half, “Triadzz.” Since then I’ve diving further into his discography, specifically his album, Glass Swords, which was recognized by the Guardian for their first album award in 2012.You might have also noticed his contribution to Danny Brown’s latest game-changing album, “Old.”
The beginning of Rustie’s electronic career could be described as “aquacrunk,” but has since continuously evolved through various artistic styles and trends, while staying true to it’s hip-hop, 8-bit, and grunge roots. It’s dynamic, spontaneous, and unpredictable, which makes it much more of a rewarding listening experience. Even after having his works on repeat for the past few days, I have no idea what to expect in his live set – I mean, other than potentially a guitar? – nevertheless, the anticipation is killing me.
So, if you can’t make it across the pond to Amsterdam this weekend, I’ve got a solution for you. During his set at the Numbers x Lockdown Showcase at Paradiso on Friday, take an hour or two (considering the event lasts for 6!) to dive into some of his stuff. I’ll leave his legendary BBC 1 mix here for you in case you need a starting point…
