[ADE 2024] Best Demo Drops and Feedback Sessions

Home Tech Tech News [ADE 2024] Best Demo Drops and Feedback Sessions

Demo drops and feedback sessions are a great way for up-and-coming music producers to get their music heard by record labels and professionals. As the Amsterdam Dance Event 2024 edition is fast approaching, the final list of events is out. Shortlisting from the massive list of events during ADE, we provide a guide to some of the best demo drop and feedback sessions occurring during the conference, including We Rave You’s own exciting event!

1. Demopitches

ADE Lab is offering a chance for new artists to get their music heard by industry professionals. In this speed dating-style event, you can pitch your demo to A&Rs, label managers, and recording artists. There are only 10 slots available, so you need to sign up in advance.

To get a spot, go to the INFO & SIGN-UP desk at Het Groene Paleis. Sign-ups start at 10 AM when ADE Lab opens. It’s best to arrive early because spots are given on a first-come, first-served basis.

2. We Rave You Tech x Toolroom Academy present Demo Drop

We Rave You Tech and Toolroom Academy are hosting one of the biggest demo drops in Amsterdam this year. Toolroom Records headhonchos Mark Knight and Head A&R Pete Griffiths will be reviewing demos live. Also, the winner of the demo drop gets a chance to get signed on Beatport’s best-selling label, Toolroom Records. The event is free for all attendees, but RSVP is mandatory.

Please note that the event is independently organized by We Rave You Tech and Toolroom Academy and is not affiliated with ADE or ADE Lab.

3. PIV Demo Drop

ADE Lab will be hosting a demo drop in collaboration with Pioneer / Alpha Theta. ADE urges you to only sign up if you can attend in person. The form doesn’t guarantee entrance. You will receive an email with an invitation to drop by.

4. Soave Demo Drop

Soave Records is a prominent name in the house and tropical house music industry. In this event, you get to meet the A&R teams from the hottest labels around in House, Summer House, and Tropical House Music, including Soave & more. Share your demos, receive top-tier feedback, and maybe even land a record deal.

5. Demolition XXVII

Demolition is one of the premiere demo listening sessions hosted by ADE every year. The hugely successful format, hosted by Dave Clarke, allows producers to receive live on-stage feedback from a panel of renowned electronic music professionals — from A&Rs to artists, all with a broad knowledge of the electronic genres. It is returning for its XXVII edition, this year at the ADE Lab grounds.

Important: An ADE Pro/ADE Lab ticket and physical presence during Demolition are required to submit your demo.
