ARMADA MUSIC SLAAT HANDEN INEEN MET SCHIPHOL AIRPORT EN ADE VOOR EERSTE DJ-SETS OOIT IN SCHIPHOLTOREN
12 september 2023 – Armada Music, ‘s werelds grootste onafhankelijke dancemuzieklabel, heeft vandaag een bijzondere samenwerking met Amsterdam Airport Schiphol en Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) aangekondigd. Samen realiseren ze halverwege oktober de allereerste dj-sets ooit in een van de Schipholtorens met 360 graden zicht.
Joris Voorn en Ferry Corsten, twee Nederlandse grootheden uit de elektronische muziek, zullen ieder een één-uur-durende set draaien voor ‘Armada In The Mix’, de primaire livestreamserie van het label. Het event en de bijbehorende uitzending via Armada Music TV op woensdag 18 oktober om 20.00 (CEST) zijn het startschot van het ADE-programma van het label, wat gekenmerkt wordt door de tagline ‘Welcome To Your Home’.
“Armada Music bestaat nu twintig jaar, dus we wilden extra uitpakken met ADE dit jaar”, zegt Maykel Piron, de CEO en medeoprichter van Armada Music. “Zelfs vandaag de dag krijgen artiesten niet zomaar de kans om op te treden in een van de meest bekende luchthavens van de wereld, dus dit is zonder meer een geweldige start van ons meest omvangrijke ADE-programma ooit.”
"Het is fantastisch om twee iconische Nederlandse merken samen te brengen”, zegt Arthur Reijnhart, Director Schiphol Commercial bij Royal Schiphol Group. “Voor veel fans en artiesten is Schiphol de toegangspoort tot ADE. De toren waar de aftrap van het ADE-programma van Armada Music plaatsvindt, geeft een iconisch beeld . We vinden het extra speciaal dat we een selecte groep fans de mogelijkheid kunnen bieden om hierbij aanwezig te zijn."
Met het thema, ‘Welcome To Our Home’, in het achterhoofd geeft het label per dj-set een zestal fans de mogelijkheid om het event bij te wonen. De tickets kunnen per set van twee gewonnen worden via de onderstaande links.
Armada Musics Ade-programma loopt dit jaar van 18 tot en met 22 oktober en omvat meerdere showcases, workshops en masterclass van gelieerde artiesten.

Armada Music is the biggest independent dance music label in the world, founded in 2003 by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron and David Lewis (AR-MA-DA). A six-time winner of the IDMA for ‘Best Global Label’, Armada Music boasts the globe’s biggest dance music catalog of over 40.000 tracks and a mouth-watering artist roster.
Promoting dance music all over the world from its offices in Amsterdam (HQ), New York and London, Armada Music represents and cultivates the creative exploits of some of the biggest players in the electronic music game, including Armin van Buuren, ARTY, Audien, Brando, Cat Dealers, D.O.D, Ferry Corsten, Jan Blomqvist, Loud Luxury, and Tensnake. Through this star-studded dance music army, Armada Music collects over 1 billion streams per month, secures weekly airplay on the biggest nation-wide broadcasting stations (such as BBC Radio 1 and Sirius XM), and frequents the top spots of the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay charts. Continually bringing out the best in its artists has led to various high-magnitude achievements, including Armin van Buuren’s Grammy nomination for ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, Lost Frequencies’ Diamond Award for exceeding the mark of one billion streams on Spotify and the huge success of Loud Luxury and Brando in the U.S. and beyond.
Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Ferry Corsten’s illustrious career is exemplified by a passion for music that began as a hobby and spiralled into a full-blown profession, as he continues to push the boundaries of trance music as much today as much as he did in his fledgling career. This is highlighted by his latest project UNITY, a concept launched in 2018 that will see Ferry collaborate with iconic trance acts throughout the year with the vision of uniting the Trance community for a bigger cause. Ferry has partnered with VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, an organisation formed to reinstate music programs for children, which has helped 2,100 schools to date. The first of these collaborations came in the form of icon Paul Oakenfold, a track that Billboard hailed as the “perfect starting point for UNITY”, following up with collaborations with the likes of DIM3NSION, Jordan Suckley, Saad Ayub and most recently ‘We’re Not Going Home’ with Ilan Bluestone, with more high-profile UNITY collaborations due imminently moving into 2019. This project follows on from Ferry’s 2017 sci-fi concept album ‘Blueprint’, a full length for which Ferry worked with House Of Cards screenwriter David H. Miller to complete, and which includes narration from Amazing Spider-Man and Exorcism Of Emily Rose actor Campbell Scott. 2018 also saw Ferry place in DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll for the 8th consecutive year, rising 15 places and extending his ranking as the longest serving Dutch DJ in the poll, capping what was an impressive year.

Many consider Amsterdam to be the global capital of techno and few artists embody that notion more than Joris Voorn. He sits at the epicentre of the Dutch electronic music scene and is one of Netherlands’ most celebrated international touring acts. He is a perfectionist and an immaculate purveyor of high quality techno and forward thinking house.
A futuristic modern-art-meets-tech touring artist whose feet are firmly planted in the world of underground techno, Joris is also embedded in the worlds of contemporary art, photography and architecture. His attention to detail in the studio, on stage or in design are unsurpassed.
Born in the Dutch town of Tilburg, the son of a composer and a music teacher, Joris gained international recognition with his debut ‘Muted Trax’ EP on Keynote which was quickly followed by his universally acclaimed ‘Lost Memories’ release on Sino the following year. The follow-up ‘Lost Memories Part 2’ in 2004 included the standout track ‘Incident’ which became an immediate and firm fixture in the sets of many of his now-peers including Carl Cox, Derrick May and Laurent Garnier.
