Pretty special feeling when a project that is based purely on an unrelenting love of dance music gains enough traction that you become undeniable in the dance music space 🤯 @1001tracklists wins the IDMA for Best Music Media Resource 2026 🏆🪩

During ADE, I always find it hard to answer in the moment when everyone always asks: “How do you feel about your event? How do you feel about the roll out? Aren’t you happy?” To be honest, I never have an answer in words and the feeling I feel is simply… relief. Now after taming some time to process, the answer to those questions is without a doubt, Proud 🙌 We’re still such a small team that just hustles day in and day out. Consistency has led all we do during ADE week to become (at least to me) larger than life… and certainly bigger than I could have imagined in mine and @evansacks early 1001 days (Swipe to find some throwback slides from when we were still working two jobs in DC, one is from the first year the top 101 really made a dent, 2017, and I needed to leave for work in less than two hours before finishing) 🙈 Anyway I just wanted to say I felt this year was prob our best ADE yet and I truly appreciate every person that helped this week come to life in some way. Some are pictured, many are not, but if you know, you know, and I am forever grateful 🫡🙏 To everyone who messaged me after Thursday, it means the world to me to hear from everyone who enjoyed the event and I screenshot messages/comments as motivation for the future, so keep them coming 🤗 To my legends that always hold it down with me at the end of ADE on the dance floor and remind me why I do it all, ily guys and am counting down to next year already ❤️‍🔥👯‍♀️ Everything I and we as @1001tracklists does comes from the heart and that will never change ❤️❤️❤️

Since we wrapped up ADE, I’ve had a crazy hard time putting my emotions and feelings into words, let alone 10 slides on Instagram, but here goes 😳 8 years ago I came to ADE for the first time, still working a second job as a personal trainer and just trying to make it work with @1001tracklists . I knew that if I just poured my heart and soul into 1001, good things would happen, whether that just meant I would be happy or that meant we would do a stadium show one day, I didn’t know and it really didn’t matter. So as I walked around Amsterdam on Monday and tried to realize that, not only we did our biggest event ever with 3! stages, 34 artists, new sounds, fresh faces and stars, but we also did two days of our signature @waterwaysofc concept with some of the hottest talent in dance music, I just couldn’t really process it. Everyone who knows me, knows I pour myself into what I love, and I truly put a piece of myself into this year’s ADE concepts. I am very grateful to get to do what I love as my job and am so thankful for all the trust and belief so many people have in our brand. So a big thank you to all the artists, management, agents, fans, friends, partners and more who were a part of this year and special shout to everyone I’m tagging below though I’m sure to miss some ❤️❤️❤️❤️ My heart is full and you know I’m ready to go again even bigger! 🫡🚀 @evansacks @notfahim @billhendricksonn @nbrooimans @deankoend @khadija.hx @tomleslieli @ms_tevo @tyler.payton @wokebrian_ @byluisaart @andrea_erg @sergiocobosc @bjornwilbrink @dindadin @inkaptable @styline @xmaxime_ @djloversclub @rhood.io @tequilaav @posh.vip @meetmeatthehotelamsterdam

Finally made it to the holy grounds of @tomorrowland for the first time in person 🦋🎪 Kept it quiet as I really just wanted to soak everything in. Spent our time on the dancefloor and there was so much great music, feel good vibes and most importantly, inspiration 💡 Can’t wait to share more news soon but we have a very exciting new chapter ahead and the future of @1001tracklists is looking so bright 👀🔥🚀 Also shout out to my partner in crime who made it through the weekend fresh off Dengue and with a serious knee injury ❤️‍🔥🍉 #tomorrowland #tomorrowland2024
