Amsterdam Dance Event
Meet us there!
Proud founding partner
Since its founding in 1996, we have contributed to what is now the world’s leading dance music platform: the Amsterdam Dance Event. ADE provides the perfect opportunity for composers, producers, beatmakers, and DJs to network and showcase their tracks to labels and publishers.
We are proud to be a part of it again, thereby contributing to the international success of composers, DJs, labels, publishers, and event organizers in the electronic dance music and other music genres.

11.00 – From Play to Pay @ Felix Meritis [ADE Pro Pass]
Hosts: Jurjan Rietveld (Manager Online Operations, BumaStemra) and James Frostick (Head of Online Licensing, BumaStemra)
Special guest: Britt Pols aka PollyAnna
After the great success of “Play to Pay part I,” we are excited to return with an even more practical panel, where we will dive into the realm of online royalties. read more
Revenue from online streaming has become increasingly significant for our rights holders. However, understanding how these earnings translate into the funds deposited into your bank account can be complex. In this workshop, drawing insights from income statements, we will explain why the concept of “stream value” is non-existent and how revenues from User-Generated Content (UGC) platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok are calculated. Through this panel, we aim to provide valuable context for all rights holders and offer practical examples.
Next to that, we are thrilled to introduce our new member portal feature for the first time: “Online Track and Trace.” This function allows members to observe how their royalties were calculated and gain insights into upcoming distributions. This information will be available within hours of BumaStemra receiving data from the Digital Service Providers (DSPs).
