Dennis Ferrer

New York City’s veteran house DJ, Dennis Ferrer, is one act that you should definitely check out while at ADE 2015. Founder of Objektivity records, Dennis has been a staple of the NYC underground scene since he first started performing in the 1980’s.

Mendo

Mendo

Swiss born Mendo is another one of our top House picks for ADE 2015. Even though Mendo’s sets have some range that can include tech house he is surely one to see if you’re looking get into some groovy house music all night long. As a member of the Cadenza family, Mendo is a major force within the electronic music community.

Moodymann

Moodymann

Moodymann should need no introduction, but this pick isn’t as widely known as others on our lists. Based in Detroit, Moodymann is the owner of Mohagany Music as well as KDJ Records, and has been schooling dance floors with his music ever since arriving on the scene. His unique sound can be recognized far and wide for those who tune their ear to the music. Funk, soul, fat bass lines, lots of samples, and of course his live MC’ing during his sets make for a performance that just could be the most entertaining set in Amsterdam.

TMB

The Martinez Brothers

The Martinez Brothers are another NYC DJ duo that know how to throw down some serious House music. They started spinning at a very young age due to their fathers support and encouragement which stemmed from his days at the Paradise Garage. The Martinez Brothers have earned their place among house music’s top acts, and are well on their way to building an incredible musical legacy. Appearing at clubs and festivals around the world, ADE 2015 will be another worthy stop for the duo this year.

four tet

Four Tet

Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet is another DJ that should be on your radar to see during this years event. Incorporating elements of jazz, acoustics, electronica, and really anything that he sees fit, Four Tet’s experimental sounds help push the boundaries of classic house music to a new level that should be heard on the dance floor. It’s always a refreshing experience listening to Four Tet in action, and we don’t except this to change at ADE 2015.
