Despite Amsterdam Dance Event going fully virtual this year, organizers of the event managed to bring forth a trifecta of distinguished guests including Martin Garrix, David Guetta, and Timbaland for a discussion of topics—from business to musical inspirations, and more.
Closing out ADE Pro 2020, the free-to-air virtual panel saw moderator Danny Howard delve into Guetta and Timbaland’s musical inspirations growing up and how artists such as Kraftwerk aspired them to reach commercial pop success. Further into the panel, both Guetta and Timbaland jokingly admitted to trying to replicate the others productions as well as discussing their transition from analog to digital.
With other discussions tailored towards artists and producers, the featured trio expound their mental fortitudes when making pop-hits, current influences, cultural impacts, and upcoming future projects—chatting about Garrix’s label imprint STMPD and forthcoming Area 21 album, Guetta’s “future rave” sound, and Timbaland’s Beatclub platform.
