COLLIDE X RITMO FUTURO SHOWCASE, WORKSHOP & DISCUSSIONS

Collide × Ritmo Futuro — 30 YEARS ADE

Electronic music rarely exists in isolation.

Behind every record is a wider ecosystem: artists and labels shaping the music, promoters and communities creating spaces around it, voices documenting the culture, and the infrastructure that ultimately carries those records into the world.

On hursday 22 October during ADE’s 30th anniversary, Collide and Ritmo Futuro bring those different worlds together at *Cut Throat Amsterdam, alongside Applied Magic, Electric Communion and Proton.

The Amsterdam edition is the latest chapter in a relationship developed through previous Collide × Ritmo Futuro collaborations in London and Portugal.

Collide has built its identity around community-led events and cross-border collaboration, creating connections between artists, promoters and audiences across independent electronic music scenes.

Founded by Rick Offen, Ritmo Futuro approaches that culture from several directions at once — spanning label releases, events, festivals and creative direction, with music and visual culture forming part of the same wider platform.

The programme begins at 20:00 with *Aera — DJ, producer, educator and founder of Applied Magic — leading an intimate masterclass. Alongside his work as an artist and label founder, Aera has developed Magic for Live, a collection of Max for Live tools designed, coded and engineered to expand the creative possibilities of Ableton Live.

Drawing on that intersection of music, technology and education, the session will open up the creative process behind his work — from experimentation and sound design to production, workflow and the decisions that shape a finished record.

At 21:00, Richard Q of Electric Communion takes the conversation beyond the studio. Built around in-depth exchanges with the artists, producers and promoters shaping club culture, Electric Communion brings a perspective focused not only on the music, but on the people, ideas and realities behind it.

Richard will be joined by Aera, Rick Offen, Patrick Serhal of Collide, representatives from Proton and further guests to be announced.

Powering more than 2,000 independent electronic labels Proton brings another crucial side of the equation: the distribution, technology and label infrastructure that allows independent music to move from artists and imprints towards audiences worldwide.

Together, the panel connects different parts of the same ecosystem — creating music, developing labels and artists, building events and communities, documenting the culture, and getting records heard.

The conversation will explore where those worlds Collide, and what independence, collaboration and longevity mean in electronic music today.

From 22:00 conversation gives way to the dancefloor for a full Collide × Ritmo Futuro showcase until 03:00

Festival FAQ

ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival event organizers, but you’ll also be able to purchase them through the ticket links on the event pages on our website here.

Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.

Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!

Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.

Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.

The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.

We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.

ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
