On October 17th, 2024, we had the incredible opportunity to experience the Audio Obscura event at the RAWFACTORY, as part of Amsterdam Dance Event. With headliners like The Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler, the night was filled with infectious energy that brought us back to Ibiza vibes. The crowd was reveling in the incredible tech house and house beats. The setup was beyond impressive: massive line arrays, heavy bass, a stunning LED wall, and a VIP area that elevated the whole experience. LED lights ran through the center of the tent, adding an extra layer of visual intensity. The blend of deep beats and a young, vibrant crowd created an unforgettable atmosphere that only ADE can deliver. Loudlife was thrilled to be part of this electrifying night, and we can’t wait to share more about our adventures at ADE!
