As the winner of ANTS: NEXT GEN, ADEZ will receive a package of money-can’t-buy artist mentorship, including a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform for ANTS at Ushuaïa Ibiza on 19 September 2026, stepping onto one of the most influential stages in global club culture. They’ll also receive a support package from Ableton, AlphaTheta, and SoundCloud, a dedicated feature in DJ Mag, alongside a full marketing rollout across ANTS channels and a takeover of the official ANTS playlist.
