Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Expect crate-digger house: deep grooves, broken-beat edges, jazz-leaning chords, and disco-funk turnarounds. The ADE in-store slot suggests a vinyl-first set rather than a peak-time club blast.

More about Ruggero

The festival text places him with The Playground Records, and his own bio says he moved through Bar25, Smartbar, Gramaphone Records, and Groove Distribution before settling in Chicago. The Playground is a vinyl-only label run by Ruggero and John Tyler, which puts him inside a serious physical-media house network.

A story

The Playground is vinyl-only and was born in the Rocky Mountains, then distributed by Groove Distribution and pressed at Archer. Source (fan or blog page)
