Dockyard Warehouse Festival Announces ADE Lineup

A hidden jewel in the illustrious Dutch festival calendar, Dockyard Festival has – to date – been a closely guarded secret from international eyes. Today that is all set to change as organisers reveal a very special edition of their ADE showcase: the Dockyard Warehouse Festival at Hembrugterrein on October 19th.

The event celebrates 10 years of Dockyard but rather than presenting a retrospective of what came before, promoters Coen van Dongen and Tania Davison wanted to showcase the future of Dockyard, and the techno scene it serves. To that end, Dockyard Warehouse Festival will see some of the most exciting names in techno music take to the stage, with a handful of dance floor icons adding extra clout to proceedings.

Acclaimed British outfit HE.SHE.THEY take over one of the four stages at Dockyard Warehouse Festival, bringing with them an array of talent that includes Cera Khin, Chippy Nonstop, SNTS and Wax Wings. Also on the cards are two tantalizing head to heads: DANZA TRIBALE boss ADRIEL against Vault Sessions resident Grace Dahl, and Briton’s Dax J against underground queen SPFDJ, who Ben UFO hails as “utterly ruthless”. Also hosting their own stage is Ukranian duo ARTBAT, who bring their jaw-dropping showstopper ARTBAT pres. UPPERGROUND to Hembrugterrein, and a line-up to match. Joining them is Danish superstar Kölsch, recent ‘PULL OUT’ collaborators Losless and KAS:ST, and fast rising stars Olympe and Fred Lenix.

On the official Warehouse stage the talent keeps on coming, the Dockyard bookers showing their prowess with a billing that smacks of the freshest names doing the rounds right now: hot from her Boiler Room debut Blackpool’s Effy; fearless Italian DJ Gigola; Aussie upstart Partyboi69; Dutch favourite Moody Mehran; BBC Radio 1 Future Star Emily Nash; and barrier-breaking French act LB aka LABAT. The Laboratory stage move than lives up to its name, turning the decks over to the darker, industrial, more experimental side of Techno. Dutch favourites Colin Benders, Noah Leveye and A/DRFT (Live) represent for the home crowd. Berghain resident Fadi Mohem goes b2b with veteran Brazilian The Lady Machine, while Belgium’s Phara goes up against “Rotterdam’s best kept secret”, Stranger.
