ADE University introduces the team behind Cocoon

Monday, 12 August 2019
It's always interesting to meet the team behind a clubland brand, as everyone is unique, with its own strengths and challenges, but this one will be particularly special. Because of course Cocoon – the label and party organization with one foot in Frankfurt, one in Ibiza, and activities that span the globe – is one of the most respected music brands around.

Following the recent news about ADE Beats announcing YoungKio and House My Disco inviting multiple artists to ADE, we continue with an exciting addition to the ADE University program.

Headed, of course, by the colorful Sven Väth, Cocoon events have been taking place since 1996, and the label has been active in the underground electronic landscape since 2000. All this time, Cocoon has not only maintained its position but maintained its musical and creative integrity without wavering from its vision of real-deal electronic music and enveloping event experiences.

Coming to ADE University to share their experience and enthusiasm will be three of the key people who put Väth's vision into action. They are: marketing executive Patricia Della Bella, who has worked with vital brands across fashion and music; David Wyrich, Cocoon's head of global events who has been with the organization since 2008 and Edgar Dirksen, the Managing Director, a talented techno musician on the sly and part of the organization for over 10 years. As you might guess from this spread of talent and connections, these are people for whom the love of music and creation are intimately tied into business practices. Notebooks at the ready, there's a lot to learn from these creatives.
