Charlie Sparks is taking his label and clothing brand ELEKTRA to Amsterdam Dance Event for an all-night takeover of Warehouse Elementenstraat on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
The London DJ, billed as a UK hard techno hero, will go back-to-back across the night with A.N.I., Bassjackers, Dyen, Billy Currie, DXPE and Merimell. ADE lists the official event as MIXMAG X ELEKTRA, running from 23:00 until 06:00 at Elementenstraat 25 in Amsterdam West, and tags it as hard techno and elektro.
Room 2 has its own run of back-to-backs. Sophie Reid plays b2b Manil, Panteros666 b2b Kirk, Afem Syko b2b Biianco, Durdenhauer b2b Kichta, and Area One b2b Niotech.
Sparks has built a sound that fuses acid, industrial, hardgroove and psytrance, with releases on labels including Armada, Universal and Exhale. The announcement describes every track as being approached with architectural precision and emotional weight. He has also become a regular on major techno bills, billed as a hard techno titan for a Charlie Sparks x Parfait set at Terminal V 2025, and later among the names on Galactica’s first Eden season in Ibiza, which also featured Dyen.
ELEKTRA is described as an extension of that identity, a platform spanning music and clothing and built around his own vision for how the sound should look and feel beyond the booth. Bringing it to ADE for a full night of back-to-backs is billed as one of the project’s biggest outings yet, with Sparks handing the night to a run of collaborators expected to throw up plenty of surprises.
Warehouse Elementenstraat started life as a peanut factory in the industrial west of Amsterdam. In 1992 it hosted some of the city’s first large-scale raves, Multigroove, before closing in 1993. It later reopened with the same brief, to present music in its purest form and keep people dancing until sunrise. The venue now hosts concepts including Hyte, Welcome to the Future, Reaktor and Luciano & friends.
Tickets are on sale now via Xceed, with Early Bird, Regular and Group of 4+ options listed. The night is an official ADE festival event, so an ADE Pro Pass can also get you in, though capacity for Pro Pass holders is limited and entry is not guaranteed once the room is full. Most ADE club events are 18+, under Dutch rules.
ELEKTRA x Mixmag Netherlands Sessions takes place on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at Warehouse Elementenstraat, Amsterdam.
