What’s Spinnin’ Records full ADE 2022 program?

Spinnin’ Records is happy to launch its day and night program, which will take place on Wednesday, October 19, at the Q-Factory, as part of its yearly ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) presentation.

The free-day event will have a jam-packed schedule starting at 11 AM. Masterclasses by industry leaders will be included at Spinnin’ Academy XL, which will also honor the uniqueness and creativity of up-and-coming talent in the dance music field. Spinnin’ will kick off the return of the World’s Biggest Demo Drop, which is an opportunity for up-and-coming producers to present their demos for release on the label, supported by feedback from Worlds Biggest Demo Drop ambassador, Tiësto, Spinnin’ Records’ artists and A&R team.

As musicians, gamers, and special guests compete to be named the best dance music gamer, the Spinnin’ Gaming Tournament is sure to be an action-packed struggle to the top. And last, but not least, the powerhouse label will wrap up the day and go into the night with their annual Spinnin’ Sessions club night, a showcase of some of the finest DJs on the Spinnin’ roster across two rooms.

Some of the biggest names in music are supported by Spinnin’ Records, including Tiësto, Timmy Trumpet, KSHMR, Showtek, Oliver Heldens, and others.

The following is a detailed overview of the day’s and evening’s activities:
