Three things, stated plainly.
A recorded interview with Nexus Radio during ADE week — you, your project and your next release, broadcast to their audience and yours to keep and repost.
A professional shoot in the lounge — press photos every artist needs and most never budget for. Shot during the week, delivered after.
Five days of the Nexus Lounge with open bar: labels, press, radio people and working artists in one place, without the queue-and-badge theatre. The room is the product — everything else is what happens in it.
Read this before you pay.
Planning the rest of the week? Our ADE 2026 artist guide covers the free programme, the official passes and how working artists actually do Amsterdam in October.
No, and it is priced accordingly. The official ADE Pro Pass costs €675 and buys the conference programme. The ŌTOCRACY Artist Pass is €200 and buys the Nexus Lounge for the week — the interview, the shoot, the open bar and the room. Many artists do ADE week without ever buying the conference badge; this pass is built for exactly that way of doing it.
A broadcast interview with Nexus Radio, a set of editorial photos, and whatever the room gives you — the labels and press in the lounge are the same people the badge-holders queue to meet. The interview and photos alone are worth the pass to an artist who has neither.
Checkout takes two minutes and your confirmation email is the receipt. Thomas contacts every pass-holder personally before ADE with the lounge details, your interview slot and the shoot schedule. Questions before then: message him on WhatsApp any time.
One of the 25 passes goes into a free draw among artists with a live Ōtocracy gate holding 10 real fans by 25 September — no purchase, nothing to buy. The draw happens on 28 September. If you would rather be certain, this page is the certain way.
Tell us before the event and we move the pass to another artist and refund you. Our refund policy applies — no small print beyond it.
