The venue for this mouthwatering showcase is a large, warehouse-style building with exposed steelwork and an illicit, old school feel. It that provides a blank canvas for the ON IT team to transform it into an immersive party space with the best visual FX that ADE has ever seen, and with the world-class soundtrack, it is sure to transport you into a different world for one night only. The complete ON IT experience will be brought to you by some of the label’s key artists and associates.

First up comes Chicago legend Green Velvet, the man behind plenty of raw house tracks and boss at his own Cajual Records, plus Frechno icon Technasia, whose powerful sound has graced labels like Toolroom Records, Cadenza and Suara. He plays a special back to back set with Dennis Cruz, a real underground tune making machine who defines the tech house scene with his fresh cuts.

Then there is ON IT boss man, ONYVA, who hails from Manchester and grew up on legendary acts like 808 State and clubs like The Hacienda. His tracks are designed to blow up the dance floor and have become no strangers to the Beatport Top 100, picking up plays by kingpins such as Joris Voorn and Skream.

Next is Umek, the Slovenian techno titan who has been rolling out huge tunes for decades and needs no further introduction such is his reputation. Next, Julian Jeweil and Dosem are two vital minimal techno tastemakers with credits on huge labels like Minus, OC & Verde are a pair who have had plenty of support from tastemakers like Pete Tong who announced them as ‘New Names for 2018.’ They have released on Bedrock and Knee Deep In Sound and often climb into the Beatport Top 10.

Also lining-up is the mighty Wally Lopez, a Spanish legend who runs the Factoria Records label and former Space Ibiza resident with plenty of hits in his back catalogue, a world-wide radio show and a high energy sound in the DJ booth that always makes the party go off. Material boss Mihalis Safras is the number one tech house artist in the world and is one of the most charted artists ever on influential site Resident Advisor. His infectious sounds come on huge labels, and also playing will be Trouvè Grooves events bosses, Bolton and Birmingham pair and Elrow Music and Material associates Hott Like Detroit, whose tracks have had key support from names like MistaJam and Amine Edge & Dance.
