Malugi - Ade

During ADE 2026, MALUGI lands at Paradiso, Amsterdam on 21 October 2026 for a five-hour DJ set shaped by his fast, UK-influenced house sound. Berlin-based, he stitches brisk drums, direct basslines and flashes of garage, trance and European club into tight, high-tempo blends built for the floor. The grin and the loose-limbed moves are part of the picture, and so is the moniker “The Happiest Man in Dance Music,” but the core is a focused, groove-led approach built to carry a room over time.

Active since the early 2020s as DJ and producer, MALUGI has pushed a straight-ahead, party-facing style that favors momentum over ornament. BBC Radio 1 named him a Future Star in 2025, a nod that followed appearances at Panorama Bar, Warehouse Project, Amnesia Ibiza and Awakenings, plus a Boiler Room session and tours in the US and Australia. Expect an ADE stretch where he leans into long-form arcs, nudging tempos, flipping moods and threading hooks with the playful footwork that anchors his identity. Five hours to map out his zone, from punchy uptempo house to quick detours that keep the room alert and moving.
