Drop your demos at ADE Lab and win more than just the spotlight 〰
Demolition XXVIII
Demolition returns for its 28th edition 〰 Hosted by Dave Clarke, the legendary ADE session invites producers to submit their best demos for live feedback from top A&Rs and artists across the electronic spectrum. Taking place on ADE Saturday at Felix Meritis, the contest is powered by VIRPP, with one winner and two runners-up taking home cutting-edge gear from leading industry brands. Submit your track via the VIRPP link and join the tradition of fearless music-making.
The best part? The winner gets an ADE Pro Pass for 2026, the first runner-up gets 2 ADE Lab Passes for 2026, and they will win game-changing high-tech prizes from Ableton, AIAIAI, Arturia, Native Instruments, Novation, and Roland. A wildcard entry will be chosen from the audience, so bring an empty USB with one demo on it for a shot at playing it live.
All you need is an ADE Pro or ADE Lab pass to join the session. Physical presence is required to participate.
