Held in the centre of Amsterdam at the historic canal-side Felix Meritis building, the ADE conference is not only a great place to do business but also a place to get inspired. With four networking and business lounges and a broad program of panels, keynotes and meetings, ADE provides a platform and gateway for anyone who’s working in the electronic music business. The ADE gives you the opportunity to get heard, be seen and experience the best of what dance music has to offer. Says Richard Zijlma “People in the industry see it more and more as essential to be here and the event has found its own dynamic and is growing every year.”

EQ Recordings continue onwards and upwards with their cult-like Balance Series in an ever evolving manner bringing you the next instalment mixed by the wandering minstrel of dance music; Lee Burridge. Revered the world over for his eclectic track selection and seamless skills, it’s a genuinely difficult task to pinpoint Lee’s ’sound’ - although according to the man himself its perhaps best described as “wonky, wobbly, bassline-driven, trippy, melodic, nasty, gentle, deep, spacious, rocking and above all … 100% cool!!” Offering a premium selection of underground House, Lee’s DJ sets are never the same twice … they have to be heard to be believed … so, what better way to showcase this sublimely varied mixture of vibes than on a triple disc mix for one of the world’s leading compilation series, ‘Balance‘?!
In a career that now spans two decades, Lee is a globally acclaimed DJ who regularly appears in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ list, and has rocked iconic festivals like Exit, Creamfields, Love Parade, Dance Valley, Ultra, Acafest and Coachella. He’s commanded no less than four compilations, including two for the world-beating Global Underground series, and has thrown his own party at the Miami Winter Music Conference for the last three years’ running. And, in between all of this, he’s found the time and energy to travel the globe thrilling clubs from Jakarta to Johannesburg, and fulfilling residencies from New York to Sydney. However, while all of this is very nice, if Lee has any say in it, it’s the development of his ‘365‘ project that evokes the most pride. Fuelled by the monotony of unrelenting travel and launched in 2005, ‘365‘ was a unique idea that saw Lee assume bi-monthly residencies in seven different hubs around the world (New York, Ibiza, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Denver and Hong Kong) with the sole aim of growing the relationship between himself and his crowds. “I wanted to expand the impact that an international DJ could have on seven different countries/cities, so I set about playing in each place for a couple of months every year”, he explains. “I wanted the crowds to really get to know me �” my sound, my vibe �” and it’s been an incredible journey watching our mutual understanding of one another grow and grow.” Now in its third year, ‘365‘ also sees Lee hooking up with local producers in each city/country to hit the studio and write tracks…
