CrowdMateAmsterdam Dance Event can make a programme feel like a vast field of competing signals: superstar names, one-off pairings, late starts and venues changing character by the hour. The standout trip on the coming Thursday-to-Sunday stretch, 22–25 October, is more focused. On Friday 23 October, DEEWEE takes over Paradiso with 2manydjs at the top of a four-artist bill also featuring Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, HATIHATI and LEO VINCENT. It is a compact look at a label’s internal connections, presented in the Grote Zaal during ADE’s busiest weekend. That concentration gives the evening its value: four distinct approaches, one shared creative ecosystem, and a useful entry point into the Dewaele brothers’ wider musical world.[1][2][3]
The central draw is 2manydjs, the DJ identity of brothers Stephen and David Dewaele, who also work as Soulwax. Paradiso places their early DJ history at the Weteringschans, where they played its former Noodlanding club night before the project became an international fixture. That local thread makes Paradiso an especially apt room for this booking. The venue frames the event as a DEEWEE presentation, while the ADE listing confirms the Friday evening slot and the same core line-up. For visitors sorting through a crowded festival week, that context matters: this is a programme built around artistic affiliation, a deliberately assembled collection of names on one poster.[1][3]
DEEWEE’s own catalogue shows the breadth behind that affiliation. The label’s releases include work by Soulwax, Charlotte Adigéry, Bolis Pupul, HATIHATI and LEO VINCENT, placing the Friday bill across its current and continuing roster. Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul arrive for a DJ set, a format that lets the duo operate beyond the fixed architecture of a conventional concert. Their 2022 album Topical Dancer was their first studio record credited jointly under both names; DEEWEE describes it as music that brought social subjects, sharp writing and dancefloor form into close contact. Their appearance therefore gives the showcase a route through the label’s most recognisable contemporary partnership.[1][2][4]
A showcase with room for the edges
The supporting artists give the night an exploratory dimension. Paradiso describes HATIHATI as a live project working between everyday environmental sound and forceful electronics, with organic textures, bass and dense rhythms in its presentation. LEO VINCENT, the Brussels-based alter ego of Vincent Lynen, came to DEEWEE through video editing before releasing his own music on the label. Those details give the undercard a particular shape: one act stretches the material possibilities of live electronics, while the other carries a maker’s, cross-disciplinary route into the catalogue. Together with Adigéry and Pupul’s DJ set, they make the 2manydjs headline feel embedded in a functioning circle of collaborators.[1][2]
Practicalities are unusually friendly for an ADE Friday. The main programme at Paradiso begins at 18:30, with doors at 17:30, and the event is scheduled to run until 22:30; access is for ages 18 and over. Paradiso is at Weteringschans 6–8, close to Leidseplein, with Metro 52 and several tram lines nearby; the venue also points cyclists to the monitored underground bicycle parking at Leidseplein. Arrive with enough time for the opening artists, since the strength of this DEEWEE night lies in its sequence as much as its marquee billing.
