Amsterdam Dance Event had a humanitarian character this year! A group of humanitarians traveled by bicycle to the capital of the Netherlands in order to collect money for the needy who want to play music, but have no way. Twenty-six artists and workers from the electronic music industry cycled for four days and covered more than 500 kilometers for humanitarian purposes. Through the traditional "ADE Cycle" campaign, humanitarians drove the route from London to Amsterdam to collect money for the "Bridges For Music" and "Choose Love" organizations. The cyclists started last Sunday and arrived right at the opening of the Amsterdam Dance Event on Wednesday. Despite bad weather, rain, faith, tired legs and minor injuries, all twenty-six cyclists completed the route and participated in raising £37,000. This year's group of humanitarians consisted of people who work for Pioneer, Parlophone, RA, Elrow, Defected, Toolroom and many other eminent brands associat

The latest announcement by the Dutch government about the clubs represents another blow to the electronic music industry, says project manager Jan-Willem van de Ven:  " Clubs and music venues form the backbone of Amsterdam's nightlife and are incredibly important in shaping and innovating the city's cultural identity, residents and visitors.
