Berlin-based electronic music collective, record label, and party promoter SESH is preparing to bring its signature high-energy blend of techno, trance, and rave to the prestigious Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) this autumn. The organization has announced a massive daytime-into-evening showcase scheduled for Thursday, October 22, running from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, marking one of its most ambitious international outings to date.
The event will take place at the iconic Warehouse Elementenstraat, a legendary venue deeply rooted in Amsterdam’s underground clubbing history. To helm the decks for this extensive nine-hour session, SESH has curated a powerful lineup that combines label mainstays, prominent figures in the contemporary European rave circuit, and a series of dynamic collaborative sets designed to keep the momentum driving forward from the moment doors open in the early afternoon.
Clara Cuvée, co-founder of the Berlin-based collective, is slated to headline the showcase alongside prominent techno heavy-hitter Alignment. The remainder of the bill leans heavily into collaborative energy, built almost entirely around back-to-back performances. MCR-T, SESH’s other co-founder, is scheduled to perform a special back-to-back set alongside a yet-to-be-revealed secret guest. Additional collaborative pairings on the bill include PETERBLUE linking up with Noise Mafia, Prada2000 teaming up with UEBERREST, and Sumia joining forces with DJ Cringey. Rounding out the robust lineup is the dynamic duo from 2HOT2PLAY, ensuring a continuous wave of raw, high-tempo momentum throughout the duration of the event.
Since its inception in Berlin, SESH has steadily carved out a distinct space for itself within the European underground music community. The collective has consistently championed a fast-paced, rave-driven aesthetic that bridges the gap between classic techno formulas and modern trance sensibilities. This sonic identity has been cultivated not only through the collective’s output as an independent record label but also via a rigorous touring schedule and high-profile venue showcases.
Over the years, SESH has hosted packed events at some of Europe’s most revered underground institutions, including RSO.BERLIN and ELSE in Berlin, FUSE in Brussels, and Bootshaus in Cologne. Beyond its core European strongholds, the collective has expanded its geographical footprint with international showcases spanning France, Switzerland, Malta, and Portugal. The upcoming ADE showcase follows closely on the heels of their notable stage hosting duties at the DGTL ADE show last year, further cementing SESH’s growing stature within the global electronic music landscape and establishing Amsterdam as a key stop in their ongoing international expansion.
The decision to host a daytime-into-evening event aligns with a broader shift in modern club culture toward extended afternoon sessions, allowing attendees to experience peak-time warehouse energy while maintaining a daylight-accessible schedule. Warehouse Elementenstraat, with its industrial architecture and historical significance to the Dutch rave movement, provides an ideal backdrop for SESH’s uncompromising sound design and relentless delivery.
As anticipation builds for the October gathering, industry observers and electronic music fans alike are looking toward Amsterdam as the epicenter for cutting-edge club sounds. With a carefully curated roster featuring some of the most exciting names in fast-paced electronic music, SESH’s upcoming ADE showcase is positioned to be one of the standout events of the festival week.
The full A-Z lineup for the showcase features 2HOT2PLAY, Alignment, Clara Cuvée, MCR-T B2B Secret Guest, PETERBLUE B2B Noise Mafia, Prada2000 B2B UEBERREST, and Sumia B2B DJ Cringey.
The event will take place on Thursday, October 22, from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Warehouse Elementenstraat, located at Elementenstraat 25, 1014 AR Amsterdam, Netherlands.
