What an unforgettable week at ADE 2025! From rubbing shoulders with industry legends to catching up with friends at mixers, it was nonstop inspiration and good vibes. This was my first year attending the conference, and hearing global perspectives in the panel discussions was eye-opening. I hit up a few label mixers with some of the labels I’m signed to and ran into the incredible A&R legends I work with, Arny and Adam (aka Farius).

And… I finally met Cosmic Gate! Total full-circle moment, especially since last year I accidentally thought I’d already met them (spoiler: I hadn’t. Pretty awkward haha).

Another highlight was linking up with Gigi Lamayne, who represented South Africa so powerfully, and crossing paths with icons like Armin van Buuren, Ruben de Ronde, and so many more.

But the absolute peak of the week? Performing at the Find Your Harmony ADE 2025 showcase! I went back-to-back with Aldor. We literally met an hour before our set and it turned out to be pure magic. The crowd’s energy was electric, and the whole experience was something I’ll never forget.
