DJ Mag's Power of Production series explores the technical aspects of sound, lighting, and design of the world’s best clubs, festivals and parties, speaking to the creative minds behind the concepts and the artists that play them.

Bringing the concept live to ADE to celebrate the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam, we bring together a selection of the city’s best creative minds to discuss what makes Amsterdam venues some of the most immersive spaces in dance music, and share their knowledge and expertise to uplift the global scene.
