ADE Lab returns this October in Amsterdam, bringing four specialised courses to help the next generation of electronic artists and industry talent step up.
AVA Founder, Sarah McBriar, joins ADE Lab as a mentor for their Industry Course, sharing how she built AVA from the ground up. The course kicks off with an exclusive masterclass and continues with sessions, feedback, and one-on-one support across ADE Lab.
ADE Lab returns with its four Courses to give young music makers, creators, and industry starters the career boost they’ve been looking for. To help you find your path in ADE Lab’s extensive program, the Courses cover ‘Producer,’ ‘Visual Arts,’ ‘Performing Artist,’ and ‘Industry.’ Those ready to go all-in can apply for a dedicated ADE Lab Course with a kickoff session on ADE Wednesday, led by mentors Bad Boombox, Chris Kore, NIGHT Manoeuvres, and Sarah McBriar.
Sarah McBriar – Industry Course
Founder of AVA Festival in Ireland and the UK, Sarah knows what it takes to launch and run events that shape the scene. She’ll share her experience on starting out as a promoter and building something that lasts.
Chris Kore – Visual Arts Course
