CLUB LAB: TAAHLIAH / SLIM SOLEDAD - LIVE SHOWCASE

ADE Lab, DJ Mag & Melkweg join forces for CLUB Lab! This year, CLUB Lab will be a multidisciplinary event, with live music, A/V shows and a club night – a chance for those at ADE Lab to come together and end ADE together.

CLUB Lab is back with the support of DJ Mag. This year, applications will be open for aspiring DJs and ADE Lab ticketholders to send in their mixes and have a chance to be selected in our very own Lab clubnight – showcasing some of the best new DJs in town.  

4 DJs will be selected by the ADE & DJ Mag teams, who will join the Saturday lineup of a concluding club night! 

TAALIAH
Glasgow-based DJ and producer TAAHLIAH quickly gained recognition by transforming mainstream pop into experimental club anthems, leading to her acclaimed mini-album Angelica in 2021, which won Best Independent EP/Mixtape at the AIM Awards. Known for her unrestrained approach to electronic music, she blends hard dance, pop, and experimental sounds, as seen in her viral Boiler Room set and collaborations with artists like Luca Eck and Loraine James. TAAHLIAH has played major venues like Fabric and Southbank Centre, and beyond music, she co-hosts The Dolls Discuss podcast and has appeared on BBC 6 Music. 

Slim Soledad
The urge to move is at the core of Slim Soledad’s identity. Growing up in Brazil, Guarulhos, she was surrounded by music and dance from a young age; it wasn’t long before she was diving into São Paulo’s vibrant party scene and taking vogue classes and contemporary dance. Although now based in Paris, she organised some of São Paulo’s first trans-led parties as part of the Chernobyl collective (named for the insults her cofounder received online). This was also where she started to hone her style as a DJ: a fast-paced, intense mix of heavy techno, hard-edged baile funk, electro and Latino core. It's a formula many have since tried to copy, but few have equalled.
