#amsterdamdanceevent2026 ,#africanambient ,#portableakabodycode ,#berghainpanoramabar ,
Hi everyone, My new ambient single, "....a thousand words " is out !

It has, as it's theme, mobile phone distraction and how it can erode intimacy and communication.

The video was filmed during a trip to Morocco and is part of a series called "Shadow Tales"—a project of short-form film poetry where I filmed random shadows and wove a narrative and score around each of them.

I'm super excited to present some of it's audio live this Friday at my ambient concert for @zero__bpm at @amsterdamdanceevent , at 3pm October 23...

—hope you can make it! by @portable_bodycode_alanabrahams

Meet the collectives shaping our ADE rituals. Next is IsBurning, whose Friday afternoon curation forms part of ‘Meditation on the Deep Sea.’

The theme takes the ocean’s movement and incomprehensible depth, shrouded in mystery, as a starting point. Musically, it invites explorations of low frequencies, fluid textures and sounds that slowly emerge and recede. Ambient, submerged dub and sustained tones can suggest a world that continues far beyond what we can see.

IsBurning grew from a need for freedom. Rooted in Amsterdam’s queer community, their gatherings bring people together around house and techno, creating space for discovery and self-expression. At their own parties, line-ups are kept unannounced. You come with curiosity, trusting the people choosing the music.

That openness finds a home at ZERØBPM. Artists have room to explore another part of their musical world, untied to the needs of the dance floor.

From 12:00 to 16:30, IsBurning welcomes Seif Bedour, Merve and Portable into De Thomaskerk. Seif Bedour opens at noon, Merve follows at 13:30, and Portable closes the curation with a live performance at 15:00.

Friday / Day | DEEP SEA
12.00 - 18.00

Friday afternoon unfolds across four sets, co-curated by IsBurning.

IsBurning is a queer gathering born at Trouw Amsterdam and rooted in the legacy of old-school LGBTQ+ club culture.

Seif Bedour, Merve and Portable (live) shape the first part of the day: three distinct voices in the IsBurning orbit.

At 16.30, Altinbas opens Sea~rène’s curation. Known for his precise, deeply atmospheric selections, he carries the room from day into evening.
