DJ MAX Announces Chicago Legend for His Welcome To The Club 30th Anniversary ADE Party

Georgie Porgie, a true House music icon from Chicago, Illinois, has joined the Welcome To The Club 30th Anniversary ADE Party. Renowned for his uplifting anthems of love, life, and strength, as well as his numerous Billboard Chart number-one hits spanning several decades, he rounds out the lineup for this milestone jubilee celebration.

DJ MAX: “Georgie is a true legend and has been part of my radio show with his music for decades. Having him on the lineup for this 30th Anniversary party is just perfect and, at the same time, completely natural. I’m glad that he feels the same way.

So, this year we have Georgie Porgie from Chicago, DJ BlackIcon1 from New York City, Isa Carrillo flying in from Madrid, Spain, DJ Izee, a Dutch artist who will come from Bonaire and Soleil Carrillo, who will land that Saturday afternoon from Phoenix, Arizona. This is a perfect example of what I always tell the younger generation of artists: music connects us, and music has no borders.

This 30th Anniversary of my weekly electronic music radio show, Welcome To The Club, is something special. It’s not just about me and my career as an artist, music producer, and radio host, it goes far beyond that. When I look back, it brings back memories of interacting with the audience and connecting with all the artists I have promoted over the years. It feels surreal.

When you start a project like this, you don’t know how long it will last. It’s not a traditional business; it’s an art form, and true art doesn’t obey commercial or industrial laws.

The very first episode aired on the Croatian NPR Channel 2 (HRT – HR2) in 1996, and we are now approaching our jubilee 1400th episode. In fact, it is scheduled for October 24th, the exact same day we will be celebrating in Amsterdam. Surreal. 1400 radio episodes, the 30th Anniversary of Welcome To The Club, and the 30th Anniversary of ADE all at once. Crazy.”

With the full lineup locked in, DJ MAX elevates this milestone event into a definitive celebration of electronic music history. Marking three decades of actively shaping club culture, the award-winning Welcome To The Club brand returns to the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) for its third consecutive year, locking in this monumental 30th Anniversary Party on Saturday, October 24th.

The celebration will take over Amsterdam-Noord’s iconic waterfront venue, Van de Werf (NDSM-Kade 2), from 18:00 to 02:00.

Staying true to a 30-year legacy of championing electronic music, DJ MAX has curated a truly global lineup that seamlessly bridges generations. What began on Croatia’s national airwaves (HRT – HR2) in 1996 has evolved into a global phenomenon spanning over 1400 weekly episodes and legendary parties from Ibiza to Amsterdam. This October, that unwavering dedication to electronic music continues.
