The Sound of ADE 2020 is powered by Deezer with over 40 acts participating with their own “mood of the year” playlist.  Each playlist embodies the curating producer’s 2020 frame of mind. Just some of the producers featured include Aluna, Black Coffee, David Guetta, deadmau5, Diplo, DJ Snake, Honey Dijon, Marshmello, and Nina Kraviz.
