Amsterdam Dance Event 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!

Live a little and take the jump, book your tickets today for Amsterdam Dance Event for a trip of a lifetime -> here

Events, Featured | Countdown to ADE Spotlight: Kastle

Posted by on October 1, 2013

Today is October 1st, which means in 16 short days 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. 

After browsing through the hundreds of artists set to play at ADE, Kastle’s name was the one that lingered with me the most. The producer//philosopher has beautifully maintained a characteristic, innovative sound over the period of his career thus far. If there’s any slight possibility you’ve found yourself unacquainted with Kastle and his work (which really shouldn’t be the case), then let us give you a little background. Kastle’s music tests the limits of art and expression, ranging all the way across the spectrum from electronic dub, garage, and house to R&B and hip-hop.  Kastle himself, also known as Barrett Richards, is in an artistic sense a renaissance man by constantly exploring the virtues of all forms of art and philosophy. Browsing his Facebook, you might stumble upon an assortment of great music along and thought-provoking quotations with corresponding photos. I’m particularly fond of his Tumblr, which is almost like a window into Kastle’s seemingly infinite pool of inspiration.

Kastle will be headlining the Plafonddienst showcase at The Sugar Factory Thursday, October 17th. Joining him will be Liar, one of the newest additions to Kastle’s very own label, Symbols Recordings, and Tourist of the UK. I’ve heard rumors of these artists putting on live sets that are high energy and perhaps different than their typical sound, so I’m pretty anxious to see what these guys throw down. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Ellie Goulding remix Kastle dropped just a few days ago… (which is available for free download!)

Whether or not you make it out to Amsterdam for the weekend, be sure to indulge in Kastle’s vast selection of free downloads and his full length, self-titled album. While you’re at it, check out this interview with MTVHive where Kastle pairs cocktails with tracks from his album. Cheers!
