During the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), not only the city is buzzing, but A Lab is too! From October 21st to 25th, Amsterdam will be all about electronic music and everything surrounding it. We have plenty going on here as well. With panels, workshops, art, and unique encounters, we’re diving into the world behind the music. And our members? You’ll find them out and about in the city, too!

From house music to mental health

What happens behind the scenes of the electronic music scene? On October 22nd and 23rd, Connect2Progress presents For the Love of Health and House bringing together music professionals and creatives for panels and workshops on music, mental health, and life in the scene. Buy your tickets here

PIV Records is also opening the doors of Kaleidoscope on October 22nd for a masterclass, a Demo Drop, and their own merch corner.

On October 23rd, Plus One Legal is hopping on their bikes for Midnight Marauders: a unique backstage tour for law students and legal professionals. Sign up here

Art, technology, and the power of fear

In The Glass Room, alien mama (Farah Shretah) presents from October 22nd to 26th Anxiety as a Gift. A live audiovisual experience where anxiety, biological signals, and technology converge, born from artistic-scientific research with Amsterdam UMC and the University of Twente. More info

On October 24th, this theme continues in RBG Studio during the panel talk The Locus of Fear Seven — Fear as a Creative Force, in which artists and thinkers explore the relationship between fear, human autonomy, and artificial intelligence. More info

A Lab members in the city

Our members are active beyond our own walls, too. Jongens van de Bar is looking for help with no fewer than 1,000 bar shifts during ADE.
Interested in picking up a shift? More info

Prefer to look at art? At BUNK Amsterdam, you can discover from October 19th to November 27th How Can There Be Day Without Night, an exhibition by Britta Möller featuring large-scale abstract paintings full of color and layered textures. More info

ADE Hangover? Café De Schelp will help you get through it!

All that dancing, networking, and exploring naturally calls for some extra energy. That’s why Café De Schelp, located in the A Lab lobby, is staying open until 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 22nd, and serving a special ADE Hangover Sandwich: a fresh focaccia melanzane. Pull up a chair, recharge, and stay for a drink. While supplies last!
‍
In short: plenty of reasons to drop by A Lab during ADE. Discover the program, meet new people, and get inspired!
