Went for the Third Party 'Release' label night at ADE. Had a great experience. One annoying lady who was kind of spying on the toilets (did find this a little creepy) event was fantastic and most of the staff were great.
Very bad DJ's, everyone can be "DJ" in theese days, simply put USB and mix (steal) songs, genres that has nothing to do with common sense, in the dressing room they take 1.5€, the ticket says 1€, the music is very very loud, probably 110 decibels for such a small space, and quite a bit more expensive compared to last year at ADE. the security guards were polite, they let you out to light a cigarette and back again...
All the negative rating is from intoxicated people, who cannot behave. I was also sceptical, because we were attending big ADE show but the reality never lies. Security team is kind and professional. The “ticket checking” lady was nice and understood that we cannot load the ticket because of poor signal. They let us out and then back without any problem. Barmans were also nice and even when they started closing, still gave a drink. I also met older lady, she was washing the toilets and she was funny, talkative and even dancing!
When you are leaving at 5 AM, the bouncers can be a bit frustrated after 8+ hours shift during night. But they always say good bye! There was no fight, no kicking out of club.
We will come back soon:)

Awful Experience - Zero stars
With over 18 years attending music venues for a wide variety of events, I can honestly say that this is the worst venue I have ever visited!
We were supposed to be watching the Colorize event as part of this week’s ADE. As an avid fan of a number of the artists on the Colorize label, this event was expected to be one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam. Whilst I had read some pretty damning reviews of the venue prior to attending, I wasn’t expecting….
The trouble started as soon as we arrived in the entry queue, with staff and security treating customers like cattle in a pen, seemingly letting only one person enter the premises every five minutes.
When my friends and I haphazardly managed to reach the front of the queue, we were told that ID and tickets needed to be presented. Unfortunately one of my friends only had a photo of his passport on his phone (we’re in our mid 30’s) and upon telling security, they tried to turn away the full group. Eventually one of the group had to leave (over 20 Euros for the ticket down the drain) and we were allowed to enter. An older couple (40’s) were also turned away for not having ID.
Upon entry to the club, you HAVE to put your coat into the cloakroom and pay €1,50 for the privilege. Whilst this is not a great sum of money, given the rigmarole to enter the club in the first place, plus the rude and arrogant manner of staff up to this point, the experience had already been ruined.
We arrived inside just in time to see Klur whom I was most looking forward to from the lineup. Unfortunately, most people were still stuck outside in the rain and midway through Klur’s set there were technical difficulties with sound lost for nearly a full song.
The club itself was reasonable, but nothing to write home about.
We left after just over an hour, unable to enjoy the event. Security had the audacity to ask why we were leaving (after being a key reason why the event had been spoilt). At this point, people were still struggling to enter the venue.
Quite why ADE have allowed this venue to hold events beggars belief.

Totally unprepared for an ADE event, still trying to get in after an hour in the rain, no queuing system, no priority for guest list/quejumps.
Guest being filtered in 1/2 per minute.
No communication with guests. And any complaint is met with, deal with the organisers.

Firstly the bouncers were a bit impatient. Then, when we went in there was a lady that was taking people’s coats but I didn’t want to give mine. She said to give and I said no I don’t want to. Then she said either I give it to her or she throws me out (keep in mind I had already paid almost 10 euros for the tickets), and so I had to pay an extra 1.50 euro, even though inside it was really cold with AC blasting on our backs.
Afterwards I wanted to go to the bathroom, when I saw a girl being pushed towards the wall by the cleaning lady. The girl had just gone to the wrong bathroom and she was grabbed by the woman and slammed to the wall!! The bouncer came and grabbed the girl and pulled her to the exit… I have no words, that was really unfair. Apparently that same woman had grabbed other girls and even punched one.
Overall the most horrible experience I’ve had at a club. DONT GO THERE!!!

if i could give lower, i would. bouncers were extremely rude and i never even got let into the club despite having proof of my age + paying to get on the guest list. the club was rented out for a close friend of mine’s birthday and around 150 people didn’t get let in because of the bouncers. never go to this club please.
