Uptempo sets

I can't find the words to describe the feeling I had while playing this set on the playa of AfrikaBurn 2022. I played more than 20 hours that week on our mutant vehicle The Flying Dutchman, but this set between 2 and 5 a.m. on Friday night/Saturday morning was really something special. Every piece of the puzzle just fell exactly in its right place, if you were there you know what I mean. Thanks so much if you were part of it, and thanks again if you're joining the fun now.

AFRIKABURN 2022: Ed Noodle @ The Flying Dutchman (Friday night)

It was really a dream for me to one day play at The Monastery festival by The Gardens of Babylon, and I never thought it would happen any time soon (or at all...). But thanks to the amazing guys from Levantine House it happened this year, and it was amazing. Thanks so much Abbe and Khaled, and thanks to everyone who was there dancing. Hope to see you again next year ❤️

Ed Noodle live @ The Monastery 2022

@ednoodle is a Dutch DJ who specializes in tribal mixes of deep grooves, bass and percussion. 

From Downtempo sets at sunset or sunrise, to uplifting organic blends taking you into the night, Ed’s goal is to keep you dancing.

Ed is at his best when he takes the time to tell a story, relying on the right tracks and buildup for that exact place and moment in time, a craft which he honed at Afrikaburn. The experience of playing on the playa catapulted him to the next level, with more and more gigs coming his way, and also paving the way to producing his own tracks. 

Besides being a DJ and producer, Ed is also co-founder of Wolvenroedel, a movement he started with @yondi-amsterdam to get people dancing.

The Karismatik Podkast 69 - Ed Noodle

It was a big wish to one day become an official part of the Amsterdam Dance Event line-up, and this year it happened because of our own event Wolvenroedel Presents: ADE @ IJver. The beautiful venue was completely packed and there was a big cue outside, which was more we could ever hope for. After the amazing @seiunmusic opened the night I played this set, which I'm really happy with. Hope you like it too!

Ed Noodle live @ Amsterdam Dance Event 2022 (Wolvenroedel Presents: ADE @ IJver)

It was my first time at Midburn and two weeks after returning home I’m still on a cloud somewhere up in the sky because of everything that happened. That has a lot to do with the amazing group of people from the Technodrome camp that took me and my beautiful wife Fre in as family, but it also has a lot to do with the set I got to play inside that same Technodrome on Thursday night.

Thanks to the great Lev Kraitman who saw me play at AfrikaBurn this year I got this chance, and together with the amazing @shira-even he trusted me enough to play the closing set after T-Puse and Deer Jade. What happened there was really something special, it felt like the perfect cocoon for almost three hours. Thank you if you were there dancing and taking the journey with me, it really means a lot that you came to show your support.

MIDBURN 2022: Ed Noodle @ the Technodrome (Thursday night)

Germany’s @Katzensprung Festival invited us to host their Laufmasche stage on 9 July 2022.

Our Karismatik showcase featured organic and downtempo DJ sets by AkpaLa, Bart Blankman, @ednoodle, and hvidmand. Meanwhile, Light Punks awed the crowd with exciting visual mapping.

Ed Noodle - The Karismatik Showcase at Katzensprung Festival 9 July 2022

Here's a little love story. About me and the Technodrome, a truly amazing stage at Midburn in Israel. But mostly it’s about people, the great group of friends that make magic happen at the regional burn event and parties they organise themselves.

Lev Kraitman can be considered the founding father of the Technodrome, a dome full of lights with a stage in the middle. After he saw me play at AfrikaBurn last year he asked me to come join their camp and play on that stage last October. It was the beginning of a great friendship, that resulted in me coming back to Israel twice already.

This week it was Purim, the Israeli version of carnival to celebrate an important day in their history. It’s a week filled with amazing parties, and the Technodrome group threw one at the most beautiful location you can imagine: The Tower of David in the old centre of Jerusalem. I got to play there, and it felt like a really special new chapter in this book that keeps getting more beautiful with every page.

Thank you Lev, thank you Itamar, thank you Shira and thank you to all the other wonderful human beings that make this magic happen (you know who you are). It’s an honour to be part of the family, and it was an honour to play this set between those ancient walls.

Purim 2023: Ed Noodle live @ Tower of David - Paradox by Technodrome

This year at AfrikaBurn my favourite dance floor was created by Ubuhlanti, a community powered by upcoming regional talent. The little village combined with the insanely good sound system and impressive light show created this perfect cocoon of a dance floor.

So it was really a privilege to hook up our Flying Dutchman to that stage on Friday night of the burn and provide it with my music. The energy was electrifying, the crowd never seemed to stop pulsating as one big organism. Playing there that night was truly my highlight of AfrikaBurn 2023.

AFRIKABURN 2023: Ed Noodle @ Ubuhlanti + The Flying Dutchman (Friday night)

Some sexy music. That’s what I wanted to play when I got the chance to close the dome of the Curious Creatures camp at Nowhere on Friday night. If I succeeded is up to you, but one thing is for sure: as a dj I never experienced something as sexy as that night.

NOWHERE 2023: Ed Noodle live @ Curious Creatures (Friday Night)

Live set performed by Ed Noodle (@ ednoodle)

Ed Noodle @ Nowhere 2023 // Kosmozoo (Saturday)

A dream come true. That was my gig at @theGardensOfBabylon Festival 2023. It was everything I thought and hoped it would be, and the fact that I got to close one of the stages at the end of the festival was the big cherry on the cake.

Thank you to everyone that was involved, from creating the line-up to decorating and managing the stage. And of course thank you if you were there dancing or dreaming, without you this wouldn’t have been so amazing.

Ed Noodle - The Gardens of Babylon Festival 2023

It began in Africa. And it continued in Amsterdam. Athie @Umgido and @EdNoodle met each other in 2023 on the playa of AfrikaBurn, where they created a magical night with hooking up their Ubuhlanti stage and The Flying Dutchman art car together. So when word got out Athie was coming to Amsterdam Dance Event, the only right move was to let him share the decks with Ed at Wolvenroedel Presents: ADE @ IJver on Friday the 20th of 2023.

Familiar Forest is all about exploring, getting lost and being amazed along the way. I did all of the above at their beautiful festival a couple of weeks ago, but I also played a set that at least made me very happy.

I got the opportunity to turn the small basement into a sweaty rave bunker in the middle of the Saturday night, which gave me the chance to blend together a lot of tracks I don’t combine in one set very often. And girl did I love that 😍

Let’s call it tribal deephouse with a dirty hip hop twist, or come up with a better name after listening to it. Thanks FFF for having me ❤️

Familiar Forest Festival 2024: Ed Noodle

The set our own Ed Noodle played at the first edition of Dagkapers, a new event we host every first Saturday of the month at the beautiful Kaap in Amsterdam. Come join us for drinks, dinner and dancing from 16h.

Closing the first Dagkapers @ Kaap 4/1/2025

Five years of throwing parties, that had to be celebrated. And that gave us the perfect opportunity to step behind the dj booth together for the first time. This is the recording of our b2b set that night, we had an amazing time and think you can hear that. Hope you enjoy ❤️

Eclectic Bombastic #7 w/ Ed Noodle

Finally I got to set foot on one of the greatest festival grounds of The Netherlands: Wildeburg. For some reason it just never happened before. Because I wasn’t into raving yet, or because I didn’t manage to get one of those extremely popular tickets, and then I did two times but other plans took over.

This year I got to go, and finally experienced the magic myself. And I hope i brought a little bit of magic as well, with this set that took us into the evening. I tried to cross the bridge from Thommie G before me to the live band Mèraque after me, so you can expect a bit of a soft landing. Hope you enjoy!

WILDEBURG 2025: Ed Noodle @ The Lodge (House of Chi)

Hypnotizing melodies, bass and percussion blended in a deep tribal mix, that’s what gets Ed Noodle going. From downtempo sets at sunset or sunrise, to an energetic train rolling you into the night: in any case the goal will be to keep you dancing with prehistoric power.

Ed is at his best when he takes the time to tell a story, relying on the right tracks and buildup for that exact place and moment in time. A craft he honed at gatherings like AfrikaBurn and Midburn, which fit his sound and energetic presentation like a glove. This brought him to events like The Gardens of Babylon Festival, Secret Brunch in London, FAME by Kater Blau and Harmonizz Festival in Israel.

Besides being a DJ, Ed also releases his own music on more and more labels and is co-founder of Wolvenroedel, a party pack that he started with YOИDI to get people dancing. And last but not least, he came up with The Noodle Lounge. It's a beautiful decorated stage at festivals where you can relax and shift back some gears, while you're sitting or lying down and enjoying some soothing downtempo music. And yes, some hot noodles to make the comfort level even bigger.
