Big Bells Records and Audiosolo are joining forces for their first Amsterdam Dance Event showcase, taking place Oct. 21 at Club Baggerbeest in Amsterdam. The daytime event marks the debut ADE appearance for both labels and the beginning of a collaboration between two underground communities connected by a shared approach to electronic music.
Founded in 2019 by Bosnian-born, Stuttgart-based DJ and producer Adnan Jakubovic, Big Bells Records focuses on emotionally driven Progressive, Melodic, Organic, and Deep House. The independent label has built an international roster around atmospheric, story-led electronic music.

Audiosolo was founded in 2016 by Sri Lankan DJ, producer, and curator Nishan Lee alongside a collective of friends. The platform has grown into a prominent South Asian underground music community, spanning events, releases, radio, and music education while connecting artists from the region with the international electronic scene.
The collaboration also carries a personal significance for Jakubovic, who is celebrating 20 years as a DJ and 15 years since his first single release. His connection with Lee goes back several years, with Lee contributing a remix to Big Bells Records’ first release in 2019. Their shared musical vision eventually led to the idea of bringing both communities together at ADE.
“For me, our first ADE is basically a celebration of my 20 years as a DJ,” Jakubovic says. “With Audiosolo and Nishan Lee, I have been friends for many years, and our style, ideas, and vision are very similar.”
The showcase is centered on music, friendship, and networking, bringing together artists connected to both labels and their wider communities. The lineup features Andre Zeldenrust, DJ Ruby, Waya SL B2B Desh, Adnan Jakubovic B2B Shell Robinson, Nishan Lee, and klangverwandt B2B Arrakis, with a special guest still to be announced.
Alongside the event, Big Bells Records is also marking ADE with its 10-track ADE Compilation 2026. The collection brings together artists from the US, Sri Lanka, France, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, and New Zealand, moving across Progressive House, Deep Tech, Organic House, and Melodic Techno.
For Jakubovic, the ADE showcase is only the beginning, with the two labels already looking toward future collaborations and showcases in Europe and beyond.
