On Tuesday, October 20th, we’re getting together in Amsterdam to remember our friend, DJ Rob D’Shawn Anderson. ❤️

Join us at Cafe De Ebeling from 5–8 PM for an evening of good company, a few beers, and stories about a friend who meant so much to so many of us.

Stop by, grab a beer, share a story about how you knew Rob, stay for dinner, and help us celebrate the person he was and the memories he left behind.

No formalities. Just friends coming together to remember a good man and a life that touched so many of us.

📍 Cafe De Ebeling
Overtoom 52, 1054 HK Amsterdam
📅 Tuesday, October 20th
⏰ 5–8 PM

Rob, you’re missed. You’ll always be remembered. ❤️

If you have any questions, let us know.

Other clubs are same old same old, at 760 Media Studio, we’re doing a whole different kind of horror : liminal spaces… aka the BACKROOMS 👽 in an exclusive venue.

With a carefully curated DJ lineup chosen for its distinctive underground sound, and a massive wall projection + lazers bringing the space to life, we’re transforming Montreal’s finest music studio into a full immersive audiovisual experience.

🔊 Underground house & techno |
@cirquecosmic @shirleemusic @camille.dj @d.j.n.o.v.a @dj.elzzie  🍸 Drinks included from 9:30 PM - 1AM 🎭 Costumes mandatory 📍 760 Media Studio, Montréal 🗓️ October 31 | 9:30 PM – 5 AM (+1H)

This one is for those looking for something a little more intimate, a little less conventional, and an all-inclusive experience without compromising on the music or the eerie atmosphere. #halloween #montrealparty #underground #liminalspaces by @camille.dj

Starting 2026 by looking back at what we built together in 2025.

Running an independent label isn't always easy, but this music makes it worth it. We are incredibly proud of the artists we worked with last year. They trusted us with their sound, and you trusted us with your time.

We don't take that support for granted.

No long speeches. Just a genuine thank you to everyone who streamed, shared, or bought a track last year. You keep the lights on and the music moving.

Let's make this year sound even better.

We can’t believe ADE has already come and gone, it’s almost been a decade since we started our ADE and Label journey.

Every time we come back we are humbled by the support and love you guys show us.

Merci
