Two visionary forces from the Proton Radio universe—Progressiva (curated by Alain Pauwels) and Connecting Souls (curated by Clay van Dijk)—join hands once again to deliver an unforgettable sonic journey at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event. After a successful debut collaboration, they return stronger, deeper, and officially part of ADE’s electrifying lineup.
Expect an afternoon where intimacy meets innovation, as Connecting Souls brings its signature warmth and emotional resonance, known for crafting gatherings that connect music with heart and soul. Progressiva, a beacon of forward-thinking soundscapes on Proton Radio, steps beyond the airwaves to explore its next chapter: immersive concept parties.
With a diverse lineup of international artists—each handpicked for their unique take on progressive house—the showcase promises a rich tapestry of rhythms, textures, and transcendent grooves. This is more than a party. It’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and community.
Let the music move you. Let the souls connect.
Welcome to Progressiva x Connecting Souls at ADE.

Back at Amsterdam Dance Event this year together with my brother Alain Pauwels to host our second edition of Progressiva x Connecting Souls showcase. Couldn’t be more excited to roll it out this year for the first time as an official ADE event, being part of The Node North concept at Bunk Hotel, Amsterdam North. This all in close co-operation with Alex Panagoulopoulos from Solaris Bookings/Just Movement.

Event date is Friday 24th October from 13h till 18h.
We’ll be happy to reveal the line-up and full details in the coming days. Mark in your agenda, stay tuned and see you there🙏🏻🎶
