Step into the heart of Amsterdam’s nocturnal pulse as Festifest ADE arrives at Noorderlicht Café. On October 24th, the trusted North canalside haunt transforms into the epicenter of forward-looking sound and communal dance at this night stacked with some of the scene’s most compelling selectors. Massimiliano Pagliara arrives with a reputation for chiseling sets that seamlessly tip between Italo, house, and cosmic disco, his ever-expanding bag of tricks ensuring every floor moment lands with intention.
Closely following, Chilean-born selector Paula Tape commands deep and percussive grooves, veering between Balearic warmth, leftfield rhythms, and buoyant club tracks that have marked her as one to watch across Europe’s festival circuit. SHMLSS, the Dutch duo known for their refined crate-digging, guide the room with their eclectic blend of genre-hopping selections, blocking out any sense of predictability. Meanwhile, Amsterdam icon Tom Trago brings his depth of musical knowledge and infectious energy, promising a set rich in narrative and tailored for late-night euphoria.
With Festifest’s reputation for curation and the charged energy of ADE, expect a night where boundaries are stretched and every transition is a celebration of electronic music’s constant flux.
