AMF CHARTS NEW TERRITORY, ADDS CHARLOTTE DE WITTE TO 2023 LINE-UP

The biggest event taking place during Amsterdam Dance Event also announced TikTok as their official content partner. 

Earlier this year, AMF announced the 2023 edition to be the first chapter in the next decade of its existence. After unveiling the first names, the world-renowned event caught everyone’s attention by keeping one of their biggest headliners a secret. Now AMF is revealing Charlotte de Witte to be the latest addition to the 2023 line-up and this year’s official The Next Decade act. 

With the addition of Charlotte de Witte, AMF is living up to their name in booking dance music’s foremost artists. Sharing the AMF stage with de Witte in 2023 will be Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, James Hype, Meduza and several others.

Charlotte de Witte is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in dance music and a bonafide superstar among her generation. The Belgian DJ has momentum unlike any other, as shown by her closing the Tomorrowland mainstage in 2022 as well as her groundbreaking performance at Lowlands in 2023. Since its inception in 2013, AMF has claimed their spot as Amsterdam Dance Event’s biggest and most influential stage. With Charlotte de Witte claiming her spot as one of electronic music’s most popular acts, the match seems made in heaven.  

One decade into its existence, AMF is turning the page, anticipating who dance music’s next superstars are. “We’ve always been proud to book the biggest names in our industry at AMF.” Says ALDA co-founder and CEO Allan Hardenberg. “What we’re seeing now is an artist that is undeniably claiming her space as one of dance music’s biggest stars. We firmly believe that artists like Charlotte de Witte are the future so we felt that we should be offering her a platform like AMF to spread that sound.”

AMF 2023 will also offer a unique opportunity to see Headhunterz perform one of his last shows, let alone at this scale. Headhunterz recently announced he will stop performing after 2023 to focus on producing music.

TikTok 
In addition to charting new territories from a musical perspective, AMF is also leading the way when it comes to content creation at their events. Today, AMF is proudly announcing TikTok to be the event’s official content partner. Together with TikTok, AMF will be able to spread their unparalleled show production and world-class DJ performances with as large an audience as possible. Through strategic partnerships like the one with TikTok, AMF’s high-quality content created during the event can take on a new life of its own.

Speaking on the partnership, Farhad Zand, TikTok Music Partnerships, said: “As TikTok deepens its engagement with electronic music, we’re so excited to partner with AMF as we return to Amsterdam Dance Event for the second year. ADE is an iconic and hugely influential event in the global electronic music industry and we can’t wait to return with our TikTok hub to explore ways to continue growing such an exciting and musically diverse genre."

REVOLUTIONARY NEW APP DJ.STUDIO IS REDEFINING THE WAY DJS MIX

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND YOUTUBE INTEGRATION DEMOCRATISE DJ MIXING

DJ.Studio is changing the game. With its pioneering concept and cutting-edge technology, the platform is set to redefine the way DJs record mixes. Undoubtedly one of the most innovative platforms on the market, DJ.Studio has the potential to become a world leader in electronic music software. 
 
The brainchild of founder Siebrand Dijkstra, who wanted to find the solution to creating perfect DJ mixes in minimal time - and so DJ.Studio was born. A revolutionary platform that will be just as useful to aspiring DJs as seasoned industry professionals, DJ.Studio uses advanced AI based harmonic intelligence to create flawless mixes in just a fraction of the time, every time. Unlike anything that has been seen before, the ground-breaking app allows users to sync their existing library, and seamlessly craft their existing playlist of tracks into a perfect mix all at the touch of a button. Once mixed, users have the option to create a local music file, share it on Mixcloud or YouTube or export to Ableton for additional editing and mastering
 
Taking away the time-consuming trial and error track matching process, DJ.Studio is able to give its users more time to get down to the nitty gritty of mixing - to craft their own transitions and effects in this digital audio workstation designed specifically for DJs. 
 
"I have been passionate about electronic music for more than 25 years and I have been creating DJ mixes for the last 15 years. In that period I used an old legacy application, which unfortunately was only running in Windows and it got deprecated 10 years ago, so it was time for me to build it myself with my team.” - Siebrand Dijkstra 
 
Driven by his passion for mixing electronic music, and tired of the outdated, time-consuming and complex software options available, Dijkstra and his team have combined their specialist knowledge to create a unique algorithm that will ensure every mix will always be perfectly in tune. In order to do this, DJ.Studio has included a powerful and seamless integration with Mixed In Key – one of the industry’s best creative tools for DJing. Using the software’s pioneering Camelot wheel, as well as a number of other key features, DJ.Studio is able to offer its users the ability to master the art of harmonic mixing. Boasting the capacity to make over 250 million calculations in half a minute and a professional quality mix in less than fifteen minutes, DJ.Studio has transformed the future of mixing. 

Launched in Beta during the International Music Summit in Ibiza this April, DJ.Studio – which boasts a team of 25 people – have been working around the clock, taking on board user feedback to create a radical new update, overhauling many elements of its interface to make for even more intuitive, streamlined and versatile interactions. 
 
DJ.Studio allows users to import tracks straight from their music libraries, with rekordbox, Serato, Virtual DJ, Traktor Pro, Engine DJ, Mixed In Key, Engine DJ and iTunes all supported in the app. Whilst this is perfect for those who already have a huge catalogue of music, for those who don’t, DJ.Studio really comes into its own with an innovative YouTube integration. Whether you are an aspiring DJ testing the waters, or someone who wants to use the app to provide mixes for their events, house or dinner parties, or maybe just to listen whilst you work, with this feature anyone can create a continuous mix using their favourite tracks online. 
 
A cutting-edge tool aimed at everyone from bedroom DJs looking to start creating mixes, superstar DJs trialling new ideas whilst on the go, or radio hosts looking to record their shows, DJ.Studio gives everyone the chance to create seamless mixes in a matter of minutes.
 
DJ.Studio is available as a one-off licence or a monthly subscription starting from $/€/9 per month. For more information, tips and tricks head to dj.studio

DJAKARTA WAREHOUSE PROJECT ANNOUNCES PHASE ONE LINEUP FOR FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION IN BALI

DAVID GUETTA, DIMITRI VEGAS & LIKE MIKE, DJ SNAKE, FISHER AND STEVE ANGELLO B2B SEBASTIAN INGROSSO WILL BE HEADLINING #DWPXV

One of the longest-standing electronic music festivals in Asia, Djakarta Warehouse Project #DWPXV is thrilled to announce the first phase lineup for its fifteenth anniversary edition, set to take place from 8-10 December 2023 in GWK Cultural Park, Bali, Indonesia. 

For over a decade, DWP has been a beacon of electronic music culture in the heart of Southeast Asia, transforming Jakarta into a global dance music epicentre. With every passing year, DWP has consistently delivered unforgettable moments.

Celebrating the 15th anniversary of DWP this December, this edition is not just about the music; it's about unity, diversity, and the shared love for electronic music that has brought us all together over the years. DWP has become more than a festival; it's a cultural phenomenon that transcends borders and languages.

Through a video trailer, #DWPXV announced 7 names that includes 5 of the headliners:

Making a much-awaited return after 10 years, David Guetta will be back as one of DWP’s main stage headliners. DJ, producer, artist and an international icon, David Guetta is currently the #4 most streamed artist on Spotify globally, with 2 Grammy awards, 11 Grammy nominations, over 40 billion global streams, 50 million records sold worldwide, over 70 million monthly Spotify listeners and has been voted the world’s best DJ in the DJ Mag ‘Top 100’ three times. David Guetta will be back performing in Indonesia after 10 years to liven up the #DWPXV stage.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have also been announced as one of the headliners.  Becoming the first ever duo to win the World #1 DJ’s crown at the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll in 2015, they regained the top spot in 2019, after coming in at #2 for the previous three consecutive years. Their special live shows have propelled them to global stardom, making them two of the most prominent figures in modern dance music.

DJ SNAKE will also be back to enliven #DWPXV this year after his memorable performances at DWP 2016 and DWP 2022. DJ Snake is a Grammy-nominated producer and artist who debuted into the international scene with singles "Bird Machine" and "Turn Down for What" in 2013. The song "Turn Down for What" was certified gold and platinum in 2014 and the song reached the top ten of the Hot 100 in April 2014.

The next headliner is world-renowned Australian house and techno producer Fisher. Now based in Los Angeles Fisher released the single "Losing It" on 13 July 2018, reaching number one on the Australian Club Tracks chart and the US Dance Club Songs chart, and charting in the top 25 of the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart. It was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards and voted number two in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018.

Next up – and known for their groundbreaking contributions to the electronic dance music scene – two out of three Swedish House Mafia members, Steve Angello B2B Sebastian Ingrosso join as another of the huge headline acts at #DWPXV. Both Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso received consecutive Grammy nominations for 'Best Dance Recording,' with 'Save the World' going platinum in 2012 and 'Don’t You Worry Child' achieving quintuple-platinum status in 2013. They sold out in Milton Keynes Bowl and Madison Square Garden, and have delivered historic sets at Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, to name just a few.

Last but by no means least, #DWPXV has also added iconic Brasilian artist Alok and Swedish duo Galantis to the lineup, all of whom will deliver their own unique performances to Bali this December

In addition to the main festival, festival organisers Ismaya Live are excited to introduce DWP Music Week — an extended celebration spread across multiple venues, seamlessly integrated with the main event. This visionary concept aims not only to enhance the festival experience but also to make a significant impact on the local economy and tourism industry. The opening of DWP Music Week will be held on the 6th of December 2023, while the series will be held simultaneously on the 7th December 2023 in several nightclubs partners. Continuing the party with #DWPXV for 3 days from 8 - 10 of December 2023, the closing party will be held on the 11th of December 2023.
