With over 475 DJ’s and acts confirmed, most of this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event night program is completed. Buma Cultuur, the organisation behind ADE, expects 55.000 visitors of which at least 20.000 international visitors and 1800 professional participants to the conference. The world’s biggest club festival is held 19-21 October 2006 in Amsterdam and features a special opening: a tribute to synth pioneer Bob Moog.

ADE 2006 features a special program on Wednesday 18 October (one day before the conference starts) to commemorate synth pioneer Bob Moog, who passed away last year. Since his passing, artists from around the world joined forces to make a tribute CD with exclusive tracks dedicated to his pioneering work. An initiative of the ADE, Crème Organization & the Immaculate Conceptualists, the CD will be presented with a release party features live performances (expect lots of Moog - gear) by many of the featured artists.

With the support of Progression as warm up and Cosmic Gate, Ton T.B. and Phynn in the other room this special night promises to be one of the places to be during the ADE.

It seems had to believe, but the mighty globe-spanning, all-conquering, world dominating dance music behemoth that is Minstry Of Sound has never before put on a night in New York City. But tis true. Till now (or till next week, anyway), when they launch their new monthly NY residency The Naughty Sessions.

July 15 is the date, Galapagos Arts Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the place and $20 is the rate on the gate. Your providers of musical merriment, robotic rhythms and sonic sensuality will be Classic’s Diz (of Iz &… fame) and Ms Honey Dijon. Taking care of deck duties in room 2, meanwhile, will be Greenskeepers’ J Dub and Jafar of London’s Kwaito/Rare Unit crew.

So if you’re lucky enough to be in NYC next weekend, get on down to Williamsburg and get Naughty!

This summer heralds the launch of yet another new clubbing venture in Ibiza, Love in Playa d’en Bossa. Taking over the entire Somny and Kiss complex, the Love Club hopes to appeal to a new generation of clubbers in Ibiza by promoting themselves as the first British superclub on the island.

Run by DJ/producer Otiz F. Angel and pal Jason McCarthy, the Love Organisation - which claims to be the fastest growing club brand in Europe - started life as an after-hours venue in Shoreditch for people like Puscha, following a short stint promoting parties at El Divino.

The police eventually shut down Love due to new licensing laws, so they sold their lease on the building and moved to a new venue - in Hamburg.
