LOST IN AMSTERDAM: A SHOWCASE NIGHT AT ADE 2025
Every October, the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) turns the city into the beating heart of the global electronic music scene. DJs, producers, label owners, and music lovers from around the world gather to network, discover new sounds, and experience unforgettable nights.
On October 22, 2025, three influential forces — Palmlands Records, Chapter Eight, and Dope Talents — are teaming up to present Lost in Amsterdam, a free ADE event at the iconic Herengracht Bar (Herengracht 435, 1017 BR).
Running from 8PM to 1AM, with free drinks from 8–9PM, Lost in Amsterdam combines showcase performances with real networking opportunities. It’s designed for DJs, industry players, and passionate fans who want to dive deeper into the music and the community that fuels it.
WHERE THREE VISIONS COLLIDE: PALMLANDS × CHAPTER EIGHT × DOPE TALENTS
Lost in Amsterdam reflects the unique strengths of its three partners, each shaping the night in their own way:
Palmlands Records has been on a mission to expand sounds and discover talent, building a reputation for Bass House, Tech House, and Techno releases that regularly hit the Beatport charts. With label samplers and a growing roster of international artists, Palmlands is becoming a global hub for cutting-edge club music.
Chapter Eight started as a playlist curator in 2019 and evolved into a full-scale electronic music label with over 1,000 releases and millions of streams. Their strength lies in connecting digital reach with underground talent, making them a perfect match for ADE’s forward-thinking atmosphere.
Dope Talents is a boutique 360° music agency focused on artist management, event production, and publishing. They bring structure, opportunity, and long-term growth to artists while connecting them with industry professionals worldwide.
This collaboration represents the core spirit of ADE: when creative communities unite, innovation happens, and new pathways are forged.
