AADE x ADEV (after)

Amsterdam Alternative will once again organize one of the official ADEV after parties. Like previous years we will start early but not slow or soft. This event is a benefit for AA and ADEV.

Artists:
French II

French II is a Dutch DJ and producer based in The Netherlands. Drawing from a wide range of influences, his sound can be described as Dark, Moody, broken and sub heavy.

French II builds a world for himself exploring every corner of the dance floor. His sound is intelligent but also effective since he’s eager to keep in touch with the dance floor. He has been releasing on Intercept Records and Nerve collect two labels close to his heart, and performed on festivals such as Dekmantel, Draaimolen, Wildeburg and Best Kept Secret, weaving together breaks, bass and techno. French II is also hosting his own club night Go! Since 2022 and in September 2021 he earned himself a residency at the celebrated Amsterdam DJ-bar Radio Radio.

With the familiar genre-disobedience, he seems to vent into his more introspective side and provide the freedom for experimentation, giving room for melancholic atmospheres and brooding basslines to step in.

Lenxi

London-born, Amsterdam-based Lenxi started out as the lead singer in a punk-electro band before getting into the Dutch dance scene. Now Lenxi DJs and also plays her self produced tracks live during hybrid sets, showing us how to mix, sing and play samplers and synths all at the same time.

Her own tracks are vulnerable and characterized by melancholic synth, but her DJ/Hybrid/Live act is rough, characterized by techno, acid, breaks and UK rave.

Lenxi has played notable (electronic) festivals such as Orbit festival, Dekmantel festival, Draaimolen festival, Best Kept Secret, Nous'klaer Festival, Wildeburg, Dekmantel Selectors, and will be playing her first live set in Paradiso during 'Speedy J presents STOOR Live | ADE'.

Her debut EP was released via the Amsterdam based label Magnetron Music on September 29th 2023, and was followed by track releases on compilations of the renowned labels Rush Hour (Amsterdam) and Nous’Klaer (Rotterdam). Lenxi is currently working on her second album, which will be released on the renowned cross-over dance label Nous’klaer in the beginning of 2025. A single from the new album will be out this upcoming fall.

Teqmun

Apart from his interest in electronic music, Amsterdam DJ and producer Tijmen Blokzijl has developed a vivid passion for molecular plant biology and anything other biology related. In pursuit of the balance between his passion for green life sciences and electronic sound design, Teqmun pushes his sound to be constantly shifting between crisp organic textures and snappy driving drums. The electrifying frenzy of colourful synths and energetic percussive elements that are composed keep his music undeniably compelling.

Wilco Prinsen

Amsterdam-based producer and live musician Wilco Prinsen balances with his instrumental electronic music between genres such as psychedelic, kraut, lo-fi electronics, IDM, and ambient. His love for a raw and imperfect gritty sound comes from his past as a guitarist, playing with effect pedals and tube amplifiers. In a quest for new, more abstract sounds, the guitar has been swapped for a modular synthesizer. From his studio in Amsterdam Noord and live on stage, Wilco Prinsen builds new compositions full of multi-layered and rhythmic melody lines. From a maze of knobs, wires, and flickering lights, Wilco Prinsen conjures a trip of hypnotic soundscapes and pulsating raw beats.
