Here Are the Top 25 Tracks Played at ADE 2023
The dance industry’s biggest conference, ADE, happened in Amsterdam Oct. 18-21, with loads of business happening by day and the industry flexing what it does best with even more parties by night. Ranging from intimate shows to stadium-sized spectacles, parties took place in more than 100 clubs and event spaces throughout the city during the four-day event.
Naturally, a lot of music spanning the broad spectrum of the electronic genre was played during the conference. But 25 tracks were played more than all the others, and we’ve got the list below.
Leading the chart is Peggy Gou’s unstoppable “(It Goes Like) Nanana,” followed by the summer scorcher “Jealous” from Brazilian phenom Mochakk, then melodic techno hit “Dialogue” by rising duo Dyzen & Sideral. The rest of the list features new artists, pioneers such as Cajmere and Sven Vath, fresh songs and old school hits including Da Hool’s 2001 classic “Meet Her at the Loveparade.”
