Diynamic Music will return to Amsterdam on Thursday October 15th for a special Diynamic Showcase: The Amsterdam Dance Event 2015 Edition with the whole Diynamic Family, including Solomun, Adriatique, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, H.O.S.H., Stimming, Karmon, NTFO, Thyladomid, Ost & Kjex, Magdalena, Johannes Brecht, DJ Phono, Undercatt and Roberto Calzetta & Twin Soul, will take place at Mediahaven, a film studio complex with three areas and near perfect acoustics.

The Hamburg based label brings back their annual Diynamic Showcase to Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). It is already a beloved tradition for the Diynamic family to come to the Dutch capital in October; bringing their full artist roster, including long standing figures as well as some fresh faces to add to the mix, so there will be a few premieres at this year’s event. It is always a very special date, to which all artists look forward throughout the whole year: a family reunion, where everyone prepares special sets to showcase the very best they have to offer.

On ADE Thursday, October 15th, Diynamic will be kicking off this year’s ADE events at Loveland’s exclusive venue “Mediahaven”. It is usually a state of the art film studio located at waterfront with a beautiful view of the harbour. Mediahaven is a three-room-connected location with first-class facilities that Diynamic has inaugurated last year, and the 2015 edition will be even more refined. Two modern studios with up to 12-metre high ceilings, designed as an amphitheatre, plus an underground car park in the basement with a very grungy warehouse feel to it. One of the best features of Mediahaven is its brilliant acoustics; enhanced by the lack of any sound restrictions whatsoever you can prepare for an amazing sound experience!

Mediahaven is easy to reach, located nearby the city centre and just ten minutes by bike from Amsterdam central station.
