STMPD RCRDS Marks 10 Years With Biggest ADE Show Yet

A decade after its launch, STMPD RCRDS is bringing the full weight of its global community back to where it all began. The label founded by Martin Garrix has announced its return to AFAS Live during the 2026 edition of Amsterdam Dance Event, celebrating 10 years of growth with what is shaping up to be its largest ADE event to date.

Scheduled for Oct. 22 in Amsterdam, the event represents a significant milestone for STMPD RCRDS, a label that has evolved from a passion project into one of electronic music’s most recognizable imprints. Produced by Mojo in partnership with Insomniac, the show will reunite artists, collaborators, and fans under one roof as the label closes the loop on a decade-long journey.

The announcement arrives amid an ambitious anniversary campaign that has already taken STMPD RCRDS across multiple continents. According to the release, the label’s 10-year celebration tour has drawn strong crowds in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Japan, underscoring the international reach it has built since its inception. Yet Amsterdam remains the emotional center of the story. Returning home during ADE gives the label an opportunity to celebrate its history before the community that helped launch it.

“STMPD RCRDS is excited to announce its return to AFAS Live during Amsterdam Dance Event this 22nd October as we celebrate 10 years of the label. Returning to our hometown, the show will bring together the STMPD family for our biggest ADE event to date.”

For EDM fans, the anniversary event highlights how far STMPD RCRDS has come since its early years. What began as Garrix’s platform for creative independence has grown into a label known for balancing chart-topping releases with artist development. Along the way, STMPD has cultivated a roster spanning progressive house, future bass, melodic dance music, and emerging crossover sounds, helping to establish its reputation as a home for both established talent and rising producers.

Its influence has also extended well beyond standalone releases. Over the last decade, STMPD RCRDS has hosted branded stages at some of dance music’s most prominent festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Sziget Festival, and Lollapalooza. Those appearances helped transform the label from a record company into a recognizable global brand, complete with its own visual identity and dedicated fan base.

That branding will be front and center at AFAS Live. Organizers promise a production built around STMPD’s signature visual aesthetic, creating an environment that reflects the label’s identity as much as its music. Fans can also expect a lineup that mirrors the label’s philosophy: a mix of established names and emerging artists sharing the same stage. While specific performers have yet to be announced, the format suggests a showcase of the label’s breadth rather than a focus on a single headliner.

The timing is particularly noteworthy given ADE’s role as the global gathering point for the electronic music industry. Each year, Amsterdam becomes a hub for artists, labels, promoters, and fans, making it the ideal setting for a celebration of STMPD RCRDS’ first decade. For attendees, the event offers more than a night of performances; it serves as a snapshot of the label’s evolution and its ongoing influence within the dance music landscape.

As STMPD RCRDS enters its second decade, the AFAS Live event stands as both a celebration and a statement of intent. The label’s journey from a local Amsterdam venture to a globally recognized brand has been fueled by a commitment to artist development, community, and forward-thinking dance music. Bringing the international STMPD family together during ADE feels like a fitting way to mark that achievement.

Tickets for the anniversary event are available through Ticketmaster, with prices listed that include service fees. For fans of STMPD RCRDS, Martin Garrix, and the wider ADE experience, Oct. 22 promises to be one of the week’s defining gatherings.
