Inside Mixmag's party with Idris Elba's Sound International at ADE 2025
Taking over the Ruby Emma Hotel Amsterdam last month, the party featured sets from Nitefreak, SYREETA, TMSKDJ, and Tina Ardor

Zimbabwean DJ and music producer Nitefreak, HE.SHE.THEY-resident SYREETA, elusive Accra-based artist TMSKDJ and Kenyan singer-songwriter and DJ, Tina Ardor, who were all on-hand to provide "Never Ending House" for the eager crowds at the Amstel-based hotel.
