Amsterdam’s electrifying nightlife found a new pulse during ADE 2025 as Young Marco, one of the city’s most celebrated DJs and producers, brought his signature eclectic sound to one of Amsterdam’s most unconventional landmarks — the Condomerie. Presented by El Tony Mate, the groundbreaking Selected Sessions series continues to push the boundaries of where and how electronic music can be experienced.
El Tony Mate’s Selected Sessions is not just another live DJ concept — it’s a global cultural project that turns unexpected spaces into immersive music experiences. Following acclaimed sessions in Zurich and Berlin, the ADE 2025 edition saw Amsterdam’s legendary Condomerie transformed into a vibrant, intimate dance floor, celebrating connection, creativity, and community spirit.
The Condomerie — known as one of the world’s first specialty stores dedicated to safe sex and body positivity — provided an unlikely yet deeply symbolic backdrop for the performance. Under its colorful, neon-lit décor, Young Marco’s set captured the raw, playful energy that defines both Amsterdam’s underground scene and El Tony Mate’s mission to energize and give back to the communities shaping electronic music culture.
Few artists embody Amsterdam’s sonic diversity quite like Young Marco. Known for his ability to weave through genres — from tribal rhythms and leftfield disco to deep techno — he’s long been regarded as one of the city’s most authentic musical exports. At the El Tony Mate Selected Sessions, his performance was a masterclass in storytelling through sound: unpredictable, emotional, and full of warmth.
The set, now streaming exclusively on Beatport’s YouTube channel, captures every pulse and moment of that night — an unfiltered window into one of ADE 2025’s most intimate events. Fans worldwide can now join the experience and relive the atmosphere that only a venue like the Condomerie could inspire.
El Tony Mate’s Marketing Director, Flo Würgler, perfectly summed up the night:
“With Selected Sessions, we aim to revive the true spirit of electronic music — where culture, creativity, and people come together on the same wavelength. Hosting Young Marco in the iconic Condomerie perfectly embodied that vision.”
This ethos runs through every Selected Sessions edition. By choosing unique, offbeat venues and curating lineups that prioritize artistry over hype, the series redefines what it means to experience electronic music in the modern era. It’s not about massive stages or flashy lights — it’s about energy, intimacy, and authenticity.
The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is known for pushing artistic and cultural boundaries, and this collaboration between El Tony Mate and Young Marco stood out as a true celebration of underground spirit. The session created a rare environment where music met meaning — where each beat felt personal, and every attendee became part of a shared moment in time.
For the ADE edition, Young Marco was joined by Kid Simius, known for his genre-blending live sets seen at HÖR, Watergate, and Sisyphos. Together, they filled the Condomerie with raw, positive energy — a soundscape that felt both nostalgic and futuristic, mirroring the city’s own creative evolution.
El Tony Mate’s Selected Sessions continues to grow as one of the most creative concepts in modern electronic culture. What began as an intimate show with DJ Tennis in Zurich has evolved into a global platform connecting artists, communities, and audiences through authentic experiences. From Zurich to Amsterdam and beyond, each session transforms everyday spaces into cultural landmarks for one night only.
As the project expands, it stays true to its roots — intimacy over scale, creativity over commercialism, and people over algorithms. This is the heartbeat of El Tony Mate’s mission: to celebrate the community, culture, and emotion that drive electronic music forward.
Fans around the world can now experience the magic for themselves.
