Amsterdam Dance Event
Every October during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), ConneQtingTheDots (CQTD) brings together an international gathering of selectors, vinyl enthusiasts, and music family across Amsterdam's most intimate spaces.
Hosted by OriaBela alongside local record hubs, CQTD joins forces with SNE Radio to broadcast a week of soulful house, boogie, rare grooves, and underground club cuts, featuring the extended SNE roster, CQTD family, and local selectors.
Whether you're pulling up in Amsterdam or listening worldwide, this is your home base for CQTD x SNE ADE line-ups, in-store sessions, live streams, and archived sets.

A key highlight of her schedule is her annual program at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).

Hosted in community spots like Amsterdam’s Black Gold vinyl and coffee space, her ADE showcases are known for their warm hospitality, seamless organization, and deep curation, spanning rare 45s and deep electronic grooves.
