Insider Voices
The ADE Masterclass program is the perfect opportunity to hear the industry’s top professionals discuss their perspectives on the future of EDM. With experts from major labels and platforms such as Armada Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, and more all appearing to give insight into their behind-the-scenes operations, this will be the place for aspiring artists to get their facts straight from the horse’s mouth.
Of course, it’s not all about the business and technical side of things. Speakers such as Carl Cox, Oliver Heldens, and Kerri Chandler will all be making appearances to discuss the realities of working as an artist in today’s music scene. If you want to hear all about what it’s like to release a new album after a ten-year hiatus or how to maintain a career under multiple aliases, then these talks will give you all that and more.
The Changing Industry
A major focus of this year’s ADE Masterclasses will be how the music industry is changing and what we can do to ensure that those changes are positive. They’ll be asking questions about how artists can monetize their work in an ever-growing independent scene and how the music industry can become a healthier space for inclusivity. There will also be a discussion on topics like the metaverse and how web3.0 will likely influence the future of music production and distribution.
Ultimate Workshops
Last but certainly not least, we want to take a moment to talk about the incredible workshops you’ll be able to experience while at ADE. With classes taught by major industry stars like Martin Garrix and Nicky Romero, you’ll get a first-hand lesson in exactly how music production works in practice. Focusing on subjects like spacial mixing with Dolby Atmos and how to receive feedback on your demos, these workshops will be filled with practical advice to help turn your music dream into a reality.
