Audio Obscura’s ADE Masterclass: How Joseph Capriati Brings the Ibiza Spirit to Amsterdam

When the global electronic music community turns its eyes to Amsterdam this October, one name consistently generates a unique buzz: Audio Obscura. Renowned for transforming unconventional spaces into temporary temples of sound, their ADE programming is a pilgrimage for enthusiasts. This year, they’re curating a week of sonic diversity, with a powerful thread connecting the raw, industrial energy of Amsterdam to the sun-drenched hedonism of Ibiza, championed by none other than techno titan Joseph Capriati.

The Metamorphosis of a Titan: From Ibiza to the RAWFactory

Friday, October 24th, is shaping up to be a legendary day for techno fans, as Joseph Capriati imports his celebrated Metamorphosi concept for an epic day-to-night double-header at the RAWFactory. After two powerhouse seasons at Amnesia and a sensational move to Hï Ibiza for 2025, Metamorphosi has become more than just a residency; it’s a manifesto for artistic evolution. Capriati himself describes it as “a celebration of the transformative power of music,” a journey designed to explore all mutations of sound and spirit. This is the exact energy he’s channeling into Amsterdam’s most intense industrial venue.

The Italian maestro isn’t making the journey alone. The daytime session (14:00 – 23:00) boasts a lineup that reads like an Ibiza dream team, featuring the fierce energy of Anfisa Letyago, the legendary Ellen Allien, a much-anticipated set from breakout star Mau P, and the intricate grooves of Traumer. As the sun sets, the night event (23:30 – 06:00) shifts gears, bringing in talents like Blackchild, Lola Palmer, and Toman to carry the transformative energy into the early hours. It’s a carefully curated experience that promises to replicate that “full-body ritual” feeling praised on the White Isle, right in the heart of ADE.

A Week of Sonic Sanctuaries

While Capriati’s takeover is a monumental highlight, the true genius of Audio Obscura lies in its sheer diversity and ambition. On the very same Friday, they will make history by bringing electronic music to the sacred halls of De Nieuwe Kerk for the first time in its 600-year history. The event, aptly named PRAISE, features the iconic Honey Dijon collaborating with the ZO! Gospel Choir. This fusion of house music’s soulful roots with live gospel is a testament to Audio Obscura’s mission to push electronic music beyond its traditional boundaries.

The weekend continues to deliver with unmissable events at the RAWFactory. Saturday is dedicated to 20 Years of INNERVISIONS, a day-long celebration of the influential label with founders Âme (performing both DJ and Live sets) and Henrik Schwarz (Live), alongside a stellar cast including Mano Le Tough and Jimi Jules. The night then shifts to a thrilling back-to-back-to-back session with Chloé Caillet, Malugi, and Salute, promising a high-energy finale. It’s a program that caters to every palate, from melodic journeys to peak-time techno and everything in between.

The Unmistakable Audio Obscura Atmosphere

What truly sets these events apart is the choice of venue. The RAWFactory, a vast, minimalist building with an industrial aesthetic of concrete and glass, is a cathedral of sound. Stripped of distractions, it’s a space built for pure, intense connection with the music—a perfect canvas for the raw power of Metamorphosi and the deep melodies of Innervisions. Contrast this with the historic, vaulted ceilings of De Nieuwe Kerk, and you understand the promoter’s vision: to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences where the location is as vital as the artist.

This ADE, Audio Obscura isn’t just hosting parties; it’s building bridges between scenes, sounds, and sacred spaces. The powerful presence of Joseph Capriati and his Ibiza-born concept serves as the perfect emblem for this philosophy: connecting the world’s most vibrant musical hubs in a shared celebration of evolution. The only question left is, which transformative journey will you be joining?
