This edition we welcome our own Linus Eppinger and a great mystery guest who will be announced a week before. Linus Eppinger has established himself as one of the best guitarists in the Dutch jazz scene. He switches effortlessly between styles and settings, has his own unique voice on his instrument and maybe even more important: always has a smile on his face. Linus is the force between Friday Night Live and when he doesn't play himself he curates the session's house bands.

To celebrate ADE we organise a week of eclectic, futuristic and above all insanely groovy electronic jazz! Inspired by the NU Jazz movement that has taken over the USA, UK and Europe we invite artists that blend jazz with electronic music, hiphop and other influences. IKIGAI is an Amsterdam-based collective built around groove, improvisation and interaction. Founded by D!ma Loginov and Justin Maas, the project brings together musicians from different backgrounds and scenes, creating music somewhere between jazz, soul, electronic and grove based music.
