Party/show of ADE?
My favourite party at ADE was HYTE Warehouse at Elementenstraat. The music, production and vibe was all on point. HYTE know how to throw a party that you will never forget. Another exceptional show was the Crowdmix Industry Event that I had the honour of playing at. With a live PA by Faithless and b2b DJ sets of Eats Everything, Jackmaster and Skream, the night was no less than the perfect mix of electronic music.

Best selfie of ADE…
No selfies from ADE – I was busy working! There’s more beauty in the world when you flip the lens.
However, here’s a pic from this season in Ibiza at Seth Troxler and Steve Martinez’s ancient space civilizations birthday party at Pikes. There are so many people I love and respect in this picture that a selfie couldn’t do it justice. Being from the US, when I received the invitation I thought ‘fancy dress’ meant ‘formal’…
Top 100 DJ thoughts?
I haven’t even looked at the top 100 because it only stands to make the popular more popular. I’m all about embracing the underground scene and finding new music and DJs – that’s what excites me as there’s always something new out there.
Party animal of the week?
My manager JoJo. She’s a beast and a beauty!
Why is ADE so important in the dance community.
ADE shapes the face of dance music for the up-coming year. It’s a platform where the major players who run the electronic music industry come together to hear new music, do business and decide who will play where over the next 12 months.
