The 2023 edition of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) concluded on October 22nd, leaving behind a wave of euphoric beats, electrifying performances, and a deep sense of community for the over 400,000 attendees.

With over 2,900 artists taking center stage and a mind-boggling 1,000+ events pulsating throughout the city, the festival offered a smorgasbord of electronic music experiences for every taste.

Headliners dominated the main stages, with titans like Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, and Charlotte de Witte bringing the house down at the Amsterdam RAI for the legendary AMF event. Meanwhile, techno pioneer Speedy J delivered a heart-pounding live set that had the walls of Paradiso vibrating, while Martin Garrix, a master of infectious electro-house anthems, kept the energy high at a sold-out Amsterdam RAI show.

Techno A Global Electronic Music Powerhouse

The techno scene boasts a spectrum of clubs. Mainstream giants like Berlin's Berghain offer world-renowned DJs, elaborate sound systems, and intense dance floors. Conversely, underground clubs prioritize a more intimate experience, often showcasing local talent and experimental sounds.

Expect a focus on the music itself. Lighting is often dark, with strobe effects adding to the energy. Attendees come for the pure experience of the music, letting loose and getting lost in the rhythm. Some techno clubs, particularly the more famous ones, are known for their strict door policies. Dress code may not be overtly enforced, but a well-considered, comfortable outfit that reflects your appreciation for the music is a plus.

Respect for fellow dancers and the DJ is key. Be mindful of your personal space and avoid overly chatty behavior on the dance floor.
