SoundCloud and ADE: empowering the next generation of electronic music

Monday, 21 September 2026
SoundCloud is where emerging artists find their sound, new music is discovered, and scenes take shape in real time. For this year’s edition of ADE, SoundCloud and Amsterdam Dance Event come together to support creators, foster discovery and empower the next generation of electronic music.

Make your sound heard

Since its launch in 2007, SoundCloud has become a global platform for artists and fans to connect through music. Its creator-first approach gives independent artists a place to upload and share their music, build audiences and develop their careers, while giving listeners a direct connection to the artists and sounds shaping music today.

SoundCloud at ADE Lab
SoundCloud will bring a range of opportunities to ADE Lab On Track, giving participants the chance to develop their skills, explore SoundCloud’s tools and put their creativity into practice.

Everyone participating in ADE Lab On Track will receive a code for a free SoundCloud Artist Pro trial, giving emerging artists the opportunity to explore additional tools and features designed to help them build their presence and grow their careers on the platform.

ADE Lab On Track participants can also take part in the San Holo remix competition. Participants will receive the stems needed to create their own remix, offering the opportunity to put their production skills to the test and bring their own interpretation to San Holo’s music. Submissions are open until 9 October. The selected remixes will be judged during the ADE Lab session "SoundCloud Remix Competition with San Holo.”
