This October we are hosting a special showcase at The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) with PRS Foundation at Chicago Social Club on Thursday 19th October. We sifted through countless tracks uploaded by extremely talented electronic artists with Radio 1’s Monki and Danny Howard curating the final line-up.
Danny and Monki will also be hosting the showcase plus BBC Music Introducing DJ, Marcellus Wallace will be playing a set.
Bhavesh Patel, Programme Manager at PRS Foundation says: “We’re excited to be bringing our BBC Music Introducing and PRS Foundation showcase to ADE festival for the first time. We know how important international showcasing is to artists’ career development, and so we’re delighted to be supporting these four brilliant artist to have this opportunity to showcase in Amsterdam.”
Dan Roberts, Editor at BBC Music Introducing says: “Following on from our stage at Creamfields this year, our showcase at ADE is another step towards improving BBC Music Introducing’s commitment to dance music. We’re really excited to see this great line up of exciting live electronic artists play their first international gig.”
Now, meet the four artists playing at our showcase gig...

Influenced by 80s and 90s dance music, KVASIR brings dancefloors to life with his euphoric techno-pop style. Earlier this year BBC Scotland's Vic Galloway named the mysterious masked figure as a new artist to watch for 2017. We’re excited for what he will bring to ADE.

Prospa at our Creamfields stage
Prospa are a force to be reckoned with. This year their ‘Machines’ EP charted at #2 on Beatport, and in August they brought their hypnotic and progressive sounds to the Introducing stage at Creamfields.
