Twenty years of Ed Banger and Because Music
Few partnerships have shaped independent music quite like Ed Banger and Because Music. This October, Ed Banger founder Pedro Winter (Busy P) and Because Music founder Emmanuel de Buretel come together at ADE Pro to reflect on two decades of collaboration. The conversation looks at how the two labels helped shape one of contemporary music's most influential independent ecosystems, reflecting on their shared history and the future of independent music.
The Future and legacy, culture, and music's wider impact
As ADE celebrates 30 years, several sessions in this year's program examine the wider cultural role of electronic music.
Paul Hartnoll (Orbital)
Paul Hartnoll of Orbital joins the 'The Ethics of the Sample: Collaboration, Consent and Credit Across Cultures'. His appearance coincides with the 30th anniversary of In Sides, Orbital's landmark fourth album, which remains one of the defining electronic records of the 1990s.
Gideon Berger, Sarah Williams, and Matt Black
Gideon Berger, co-founder of Block9 and co-organizer of Together for Palestine, joins the program alongside Sarah Williams, music lawyer and board member of Palestine Music Expo and Earth Percent CEO of IMPEL and Palestine Music Expo, as well as Matt Black, co-founder of Ninja Tune and long-term cultural activist.
Together, they take part in 'The State of Emergency: Music Leaders at the Forefront of Change', a session exploring how music communities respond to global challenges, and how artists, organizations and cultural institutions can mobilize people toward solidarity and action.
