Tuesday October 13, 2026 – Basic-Fit is teaming up with ADE Lab On Track to give emerging local DJs a stage during Amsterdam Dance Event, as the programme for Basic-Fit’s October 24 event continues to grow. On Saturday 24 October, Basic-Fit will transform its Stadhouderskade club into a space for music, movement and emerging local talent. Between 16:00 and midnight, selected DJs from the ADE Lab On Track community will perform live while Basic-Fit members work out.
The call-out opens today on the ADE Lab On Track Discord channel, where local DJs can apply to take part. Selected DJs will gain visibility through Basic-Fit’s channels and receive a one-year Basic-Fit membership, giving them an opportunity to reach a new audience while continuing to develop their careers.
The collaboration brings together two communities built around progression and participation. ADE Lab On Track is a three-day, application-based talent development programme for emerging electronic music producers and performing artists, connecting a selected group of participants across its Producer and Performing Artist Tracks during ADE. The programme is designed for selected participants rather than the general public, with opportunities such as this one with Basic-Fit providing a platform for emerging talent to perform and connect with new audiences. For Basic-Fit, the collaboration is an opportunity to use its platform and physical space differently, opening the doors to new talent while creating an unexpected experience for its members during ADE.
"Getting started is the hardest part, whether that's your first workout or your first set in front of a crowd," says Erica van Vonderen-Hahn, Chief Commercial Officer at Basic-Fit. "We encourage people to build healthy habits as young adults, because that's when they stick. Giving young DJs a real platform during ADE comes from the same place. We want to back them early, give them a room and an audience, and see where they take it."
