Native Instruments returns to Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 with its most immersive program to date, centered around Traktor and the evolving future of DJing. On Thursday, October 23rd, the company will host a takeover at Mossel & Gin, featuring Richie Hawtin, Nikki Nair, Crossfader, Keep Hush, and other key voices across a full day of sessions, panels, and live conversations.
The event follows the launch of Traktor MX2 and highlights NI’s continued commitment to pushing club culture forward—from bedroom setups and underground collectives to festival mainstages. In addition to the takeover, NI will also be active throughout the week at the ADE Gear Lab, offering hands-on demos and a first look at new hardware and software.
“Traktor has always lived in the spaces where boundaries are pushed,” says Bomo Piri, VP of Brand at Native Instruments. “It’s the tool that connects legends like Richie Hawtin with the most exciting new DJs coming up right now. ADE is about showing how those worlds feed each other, and how Traktor is built for that future.”
Confirmed sessions include a mixing and mastering workshop with iZotope’s Cory Goldsmith, a sound design panel with Nikki Nair and Eric OAKE, and a conversation on DJ culture beyond the dancefloor featuring Lamsi, Echobox, and Keep Hush. The day will close with a one-on-one session between Richie Hawtin and the Traktor team.
