ALL ABOARD: INSIDE MUSIC KEY’S MOVING DANCEFLOOR AT ADE 2026

From underground grooves to unexpected B2B encounters, MITA Magazine catches up with the artists who transformed the 50 Hertz Club Train into one of ADE's most unconventional dancefloors.

A Different Kind of Journey Through ADE

Amsterdam Dance Event has never been short of extraordinary venues, but this year, the dancefloor was literally on the move.

On Friday, 23 October 2026, ALL ABOARD brought a different perspective to daytime clubbing, transforming the 50 Hertz Club Train into a travelling celebration of electronic music.

Departing from Amsterdam Central Station, the four-hour journey took artists and music lovers across the Netherlands, with four stages, different musical identities and an international line-up sharing one moving venue.

Among the highlights was the Music Key by Supreme carriage, which brought together established names, emerging talents and a series of B2B performances that celebrated the spontaneity and connection at the heart of underground dance music.

From hypnotic house grooves and raw tech-house selections to unexpected collaborations, the experience blurred the boundaries between performer and audience. There were no distant festival stages or backstage barriers — just artists, dancers and music sharing the same space.

For MITA Magazine, the journey offered an opportunity to explore the personalities behind the decks and discover what happens when artists step outside the traditional club environment.

Music Key Records: A Community Driven by Sound

Rooted in Ibiza's underground electronic music culture, Music Key Records has developed a musical identity that draws inspiration from Chicago house, Detroit techno and contemporary minimal and deep-tech sounds.

More than a platform for releasing records, the label is part of a wider community of artists connected by a shared passion for groove, musical discovery and authentic dancefloor experiences.

At ADE 2026, the Music Key by Supreme carriage brought that identity into a completely different environment.

The line-up featured Richy Ahmed, TWENTY SIX, Skizzo, Madison Kendall B2B Magma Grooves, ADEZ B2B Lele Mas, David Mod B2B MR.X and Nicola Calbi.

Each artist brought a distinct musical perspective, creating a journey that moved between different interpretations of house and underground club culture.

Beyond the performances themselves, it was the atmosphere that made the experience memorable: an intimate setting where artists could experiment, connect directly with their audience and share moments that would be difficult to recreate in a traditional club.

MITA Magazine spoke with the artists to reflect on the experience, their musical journeys and what comes next.

TWENTY SIX

Beyond the success of “Buscando Money”, TWENTY SIX continues to explore his own interpretation of house music. His appearance on the Music Key carriage marked his first ADE experience, combining an unconventional setting with the opportunity to introduce unreleased music.

MITA: Beyond “Buscando Money”, what side of your sound did you want people to discover?

TWENTY SIX: I want people to get to know my taste beyond one track. I simply want to share the music I love, with house music at the heart of it, interpreted through my own sound. My sets give me the space to show that wider musical world and what makes me move.

MITA: What was it like playing in the Music Key carriage?

TWENTY SIX: It was really special because it was my first time at ADE in Amsterdam, and getting to play on a moving train made it even more memorable.

There was something magical about the whole experience — the setting, the people and the crazy energy inside the carriage. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to ADE.

MITA: How did playing in daylight on a moving train change your selections?

TWENTY SIX: The daylight and the movement felt right for an energetic, house-driven set. I wanted to keep people moving without too many long breakdowns or atmospheric pauses.

I focused on grooves that flowed naturally into each other and kept the energy high throughout the journey.

MITA: Which track sparked your strongest connection with the crowd?

TWENTY SIX: My unreleased track “Up & Down”, which is coming out next year.

Seeing people connect with something I created is always special, especially when they're hearing it for the first time. The reaction in that carriage made it one of my favourite moments of the set.

SKIZZO

With a deep appreciation for vinyl and the art of musical selection, Skizzo approaches DJing as a journey of discovery. On the Music Key carriage, that philosophy found an audience ready to embrace the unexpected.

MITA: As a vinyl lover, what makes a record worth bringing into an unfamiliar setting?

Skizzo: For me, it's all about character, feeling and the story behind the record.

I'm always looking for something that has its own identity, something that can create a connection regardless of the setting.

In an unfamiliar environment, I like to bring records that might surprise people — tracks with a particular groove, atmosphere or energy.

It's not necessarily about playing something people already know, but about finding a sound that makes them curious and takes them somewhere unexpected.

MITA: What surprised you about how this crowd responded to your sound?

Skizzo: What surprised me most was how open and receptive the crowd was.

You never really know how people will react when you bring your own musical language into a different environment, but there was a beautiful connection between the music and the people.

I felt that the audience was genuinely listening, not just dancing, and that gave me the freedom to explore different moods and directions.

Those unexpected connections are often the most rewarding part of playing.

MITA: What could you take from the Music Key carriage into your own SK Recordings parties?

Skizzo: I think the biggest takeaway is the importance of creating an experience rather than simply organising a party.

The Music Key carriage showed how a specific environment, a strong musical identity and the right people can come together to create something memorable.

I'd love to bring that same sense of intimacy, spontaneity and discovery into SK Recordings parties.

Creating a space where people feel part of something, where music is the common language and where unexpected musical encounters can happen — that's what makes a party special and gives it a lasting identity.

MADISON KENDALL

For singer, DJ and The Sandbox founder Madison Kendall, music is as much about connection as it is about sound. Her B2B with Magma Grooves brought different creative perspectives together, with collaboration and community taking centre stage.

MITA: As both a singer and DJ, how important was it to experience different musical environments on board?

Madison Kendall: I really enjoyed what the train had to offer.

I believe having different environments for different types of music is important. Not limiting people to just one sound, but allowing freedom and choice for all listeners.

That opportunity to explore something different is what I loved about the experience.

MITA: What did Magma Grooves bring out in your playing that a solo set might not?

Madison Kendall: The diversity of playing with two more people brought a different flow and something unique to the experience, rather than playing alone.

I love girl power as well. There's something about meeting female artists that creates a more empowering and safer environment. There's a level of automatic understanding.

MITA: You built The Sandbox around connection. Where did you feel that on the train?

Madison Kendall: Connection is all around us, constantly.

It was within the staff, the DJs, the people who came to party, the Pure Ibiza Radio family — really, everyone knew the vibe and went along with it.

MITA: Can we expect a future collaboration with Music Key?

Madison Kendall: Yes, and it's one I'm very excited about.

It's going to be something very special, on the other side of the world. More details will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

MAGMA GROOVES

Fresh from the inclusion of “Rush” on LouLou Records' ADE sampler, Magma Grooves arrived in Amsterdam with a growing sense of artistic direction. Their B2B with Madison Kendall highlighted the chemistry that can emerge when different musical identities find common ground.

MITA: With “Rush” on LouLou's ADE sampler, what did this ADE mean for your own music?

Magma Grooves: ADE felt like a really important milestone for us.

Having “Rush” featured on LouLou Records' ADE sampler was a special moment, not only because of the release itself, but because it represented the direction we've been building towards as artists.

It gave us a sense that our sound is evolving and reaching new spaces.

ADE was about connecting with the industry, sharing our music and feeling excited about what's coming next.

MITA: Where did your sound and Madison Kendall's click most naturally?

Magma Grooves: We connected naturally through our shared love for groove, energy and music that keeps the dancefloor moving.

Our sounds complement each other in a really organic way, blending hypnotic rhythms, deep basslines and playful moments.

There was a great balance between our individual identities and the freedom to explore together.

MITA: Which unexpected selection changed the direction of your B2B?

Magma Grooves: There wasn't really one unexpected track that changed the direction of our B2B.

The energy flowed naturally from beginning to end, with each selection building on the previous one.

We were constantly connecting through the music, reading the dancefloor and allowing the set to evolve organically.

For us, the magic was in that natural flow and the connection we shared behind the decks.

ADEZ

Following his ANTS: NEXT GEN 2026 win and a performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza, Amsterdam-based ADEZ returned to familiar surroundings for a very different kind of set. Sharing the decks with Lele Mas, he explored a more spontaneous and old-school side of his musical identity.

MITA: From winning ANTS: NEXT GEN to playing this carriage, what changed in how you read a crowd?

ADEZ: Opening a stage as massive as Ushuaïa, with a line-up like the one ANTS put together, gave me a huge opportunity to work on the way I perceive different moments during a set.

Seeing a big wave of people coming in doesn't necessarily mean going full gas straight away.

It's more about getting them to move, making them feel part of the journey and letting the energy slowly build from there.

MITA: How did Lele Mas push your selections somewhere unexpected?

ADEZ: I've known Lele for a few years, so his musical taste doesn't really hold many secrets for me.

I actually didn't feel the need to prepare specifically for this B2B.

I knew he's a big fan of raw tech-house grooves, more on the old-school side than the newer sound, and for me it was a real pleasure to tap into that energy because it's something I don't often get the chance to play.

Honestly, this B2B should probably happen much more often.

MITA: Amsterdam is home. What did seeing it from this moving dancefloor mean to you?

ADEZ: Believe it or not, this moving event had been on my radar for several ADE editions, but somehow I'd never had the chance to jump on board. Experiencing it was a pure vibe. I couldn't believe such a solid production could happen on a train and still be so well organised in every detail. Looking out of the windows and seeing city after city pass by while dancing and playing music on a moving train is definitely a memory I won't forget.

LELE MAS

As co-founder of We Are Family, Lele Mas has built his musical identity around the communal spirit of house music. His B2B with ADEZ brought that philosophy to life through spontaneous selections, old-school influences and a shared connection with the crowd.

MITA: As a We Are Family co-founder, what made this carriage feel like a community?

Lele Mas: What made it feel like a real community was the sense of connection from the very first minute. There was no separation between artists, crew and guests. Everyone was sharing the same experience, dancing, talking and feeding off each other's energy. The train became more than just a venue in motion. It felt like a travelling family reunion where music was the common language.

MITA: What was the most playful exchange between you and ADEZ behind the decks?

Lele Mas: ADEZ and I were constantly challenging each other with unexpected track selections and spontaneous transitions.

There were a few moments where one of us would throw in a curveball and the other had to react on the spot.

Those little musical surprises created a fun back-and-forth that kept us both smiling and pushed the set into exciting territory.

MITA: Which of your Chicago house influences found their way into the journey?

Lele Mas: Chicago house has always been a huge part of my musical identity, so its influence naturally found its way into the journey.

The groove, the soulful elements and the focus on creating moments of unity on the dancefloor were all inspired by artists and labels that shaped the Chicago sound. Even when playing more contemporary records, that spirit of warmth, rhythm and togetherness remained at the heart of the set.

DAVID MOD

Having already released music on Music Key Records, David Mod experienced the label from a different perspective: behind the decks of its moving dancefloor. Alongside MR.X, he turned their shared musical vision into an energetic and spontaneous B2B performance.

MITA: What did playing the Music Key carriage mean to you after releasing music with the label?

David Mod: It was a truly special experience and a great personal achievement. After releasing my music with the label, having the opportunity to play it on board the Music Key carriage gave it a whole new dimension. I loved the idea of bringing music and travel together, creating a unique atmosphere and sharing our sound with everyone on board.

MITA: Which of your own tracks would you choose as the soundtrack to that journey?

David Mod: Without a doubt, “XXX Girls”, a track I produced together with MR.X.

It represents a shared musical vision and a special connection between us.

Its groove and energy perfectly capture the spirit of the journey, making it the ideal soundtrack for such a unique experience.

MITA: What did MR.X bring to the B2B that you couldn't have planned?

David Mod: MR.X brought a different energy and musical sensitivity that made the set even more exciting. What made it special was the spontaneity: letting the music guide us without knowing exactly where it would take us. That's the beauty of a B2B, creating a connection in the moment, surprising each other and building something unique that neither of us could have created alone.

MR.X

For MR.X, the Music Key carriage offered an opportunity to introduce his musical identity to a new audience. His B2B with David Mod was built around shared instincts, energetic selections and the excitement of what might come next.

MITA: What did you want your first selection to say about your sound?

MR.X: I wanted to show my musical identity: a mix of energy, groove and unexpected sounds. Something that makes people really feel the music.

MITA: When did you and David Mod find your shared groove?

MR.X: It happened naturally through our shared passion for music.

We connected through our musical vision and the energy we both bring behind the decks.

MITA: What would someone who discovered you on that train hear next from you?

MR.X: More music, new collaborations and unexpected projects. We're just getting started, and there's much more to come.

NICOLA CALBI

With releases on respected underground imprints including Hottrax and Desolat, Nicola Calbi brings an instinctive understanding of groove and dancefloor energy to his performances. The intimacy of the Music Key carriage offered a different perspective on the relationship between DJ and crowd.

MITA: Your music spans Hottrax and Desolat. Which side of your sound suited the carriage best?

Nicola Calbi: I think it was a combination of both.

My sound has always been about hypnotic grooves, tribal influences and raw underground energy.

In such an intimate space, I wanted to create something that people could really feel.

For me, it's not about labels or genres; it's about the connection between the music and the crowd.

MITA: What could you read in the crowd up close that a bigger stage might hide?

Nicola Calbi: The little details. Eye contact, body language, the way people react to every groove.

In smaller spaces, you can really feel the energy of the crowd and connect with people on a different level.

I've always believed that the magic of clubbing isn't about how big the stage is, but how strong the connection is.

MITA: Which moment from the journey would you turn into a track?

Nicola Calbi: I'm definitely more used to airports than train stations! But that's what made this experience unique. I'd turn the energy of that journey into a track — something hypnotic, with rolling basslines, organic percussion and unexpected elements.

My life is constantly moving between different countries and cultures, and I think my music reflects that. Every journey brings new inspiration.

MORE THAN A MOVING DANCEFLOOR

As the 50 Hertz Club Train returned to Amsterdam Central Station, the Music Key carriage had demonstrated something that goes beyond its unconventional setting.

Great dancefloor experiences are built on connection, not simply location.

Across different artist perspectives, a common theme emerged: the freedom to experiment, the intimacy of sharing music at close range and the unexpected moments that happen when artists and audiences become part of the same journey.

From the spontaneity of the B2B performances to the discovery of unreleased productions, Music Key's presence at ALL ABOARD reflected the collaborative spirit that continues to shape underground electronic music.

For MITA Magazine, the experience was a reminder that electronic music culture thrives on new ideas, shared energy and communities willing to take the experience somewhere different.
