Soft Signals transforms the sound of this room into a live, 6-speaker array spatial audio performance. Nisham Olakara of Kerberos and Styx Studios spent months recording a Sense of Place, a coffee bar in a 1930s garage on the Willemsstraat: the pull of an espresso shot, the hiss of the steam wand, the way the old garage holds a note. He turned those recordings into a spatial audio piece. On the Friday of ADE he performs it live, in the room where it was made. The day has three parts. 9:00 to 11:00. Omakase 'Beyond', Soft Signals edition. Our coffee omakase: a sequence of courses built from coffees that never reach the regular menu, served for one morning while Nisham performs live. Six seats. Reservation only, through the reservation link. 13:00 to 14:00. Soft Signals, open door. The piece performed live, over a coffee. Free entry, seated, while the seats last. 14:00 to 18:30. Three selectors on vinyl, one after the other. 14:00 to 15:30. Alexcel. From Riga, more than ten years behind the decks. He opens the afternoon the way this room likes it: warm, deep house played slow, long blends, a patient build, some of it his own productions. Recent sets have taken him from Riga to Tokyo. 15:30 to 17:00. Beastie. Learned his ear on London internet radio and has spent the last ten to fifteen years digging through funk, disco, house and Detroit techno. Now based in Barcelona and still close to the electronic scene, he plays vinyl only. For ADE he strips it back: no dancefloor to serve, just a selector's set of jazz, funk and experimental records. 17:00 to 18:30. Logan Kai. NYC born, amsterdam based, Logan's been building his sound for both downtempo and higher-energy sets around the city. Now leaning mostly vinyl, he's bringing lush deep house cuts, trip hop nodders, and much in between to showcase his sound. Free entry all day, except the omakase. Seated. Coffee is served as on any Friday. Part of Amsterdam Dance Event 2026.
