Martin Garrix & Joseph Capriati: Different Paths, Same End Game

Martin Garrix and Joseph Capriati have been friends for years, and at ADE Pro they'll be discussing how they each approach their productions, who or what they look to for inspiration, who their production/artist heroes are, the importance of friends, the ups and downs of being famous, and much more.

The Future for Electronic Music

ADE Pro also hosts a series of futuristic initiatives as part of its focus on the future of live events. One such initiative, ADE Blendrealities, transforms home base Felix Meritis into a hybrid VR space, where discussions are hosted on artificial intelligence, Web3 and the Metaverse.  Highlights for the programming include Nick Adler, responsible for transforming Snoop Dogg’s Death Row Records into the first ever major NFT label, ex-Google Senior Engineer Blake Lemoine on the impact of AI, Warner Music’s Chief Digital Officer Oana Ruxandra, artist and futurist Don Diablo, Coachella’s Sam Schoonover and Lightyear CEO Lex Hoefsloot.

The World Surrounding Electronic Music

Other key topics and themes covered at ADE Pro include sustainability for the live scene, mental health, inclusivity and social change, with Ukrainian artist Nastia and Lesia Vasylenko (Ukraine Parliament) in the discussion ‘Ukraine: How Can We Help?’, as well as talks on circular event management, gender representation in dance music and more. The new ADE Lab will feature masterclasses from Carl Cox, Ellen Allien, Nicky Romero, Van Anh, KiNK, and many others. The full ADE program can be found here. The complete conference program can be attended with the ADE Pro Pass, available here.
