Joseph Capriati is the Naples-area DJ who has spent two decades building an international techno career on precision rather than any one anthem, and on Sunday, October 25th he plays an extended, all-day set at BRET in Amsterdam with support from Cristina Lazic, part of the venue's now-recurring ADE Sunday booking.
Two Decades From Caserta to ADE Sunday
Capriati started DJing at eleven near Caserta, working under the name Prince J before his professional debut arrived in 2007 with the Formaldehyde EP on Sasha Carassi's Globox Recordings. What followed was a fast climb onto the international circuit and, in 2016, a label of his own: Redimension, launched with a joint release alongside Adam Beyer. 2026 marks twenty years since he first started playing out, a run the DJ Awards has recognised twice over, with Techno Master and Tech House titles both attached to his name. BRET already knows him - the booking is a return rather than a debut, with the venue's own ADE Sunday slot for Capriati dating back at least to 2022.
BRET: Sloterdijk's Craft-Beer Clubhouse
BRET runs an unusual format for an ADE room: an organic restaurant and craft-beer bar by day, built inside a red-brick building near Sloterdijk station out of recycled materials, with a self-planted terrace, then a club by night with programming the venue itself describes as meticulous rather than opportunistic. Mood rates the event's capacity at a middling 0.4 out of 1, in line with a converted neighbourhood room rather than a warehouse-scale floor - useful context for anyone picturing an Awakenings-sized crowd instead of BRET's tighter footprint.
What ADE Sunday at BRET Actually Delivers
The instinct with a Naples techno name booked into a converted industrial building is to expect something raw, and that instinct is only half right. In Mood's data, the listing reads 0.8 on polish against just 0.2 on rawness - a wide gap that tracks with what BRET actually is: hospitality-run and terrace-equipped, closer to a produced night out than a stripped rave. Capriati's own catalogue splits the same way. Redimension-era tracks like "Awake" and his remixes for Dubfire, Oliver Huntemann and Pan-Pot lean on tunnelling low end and patient builds rather than noise, and an all-day slot gives that approach room to move without rushing toward a peak. Cristina Lazic's warm-up, pulling from deep house and minimal tech house, should ease the room in rather than announce it.
Getting to BRET for ADE Sunday
BRET sits at Orlyplein 76, a few minutes' walk from Sloterdijk train and metro station on the western edge of central Amsterdam. Doors for ADE Sunday run from 8am to 10pm local time - a genuine all-day booking that matches the "all day long" billing, and reason enough to arrive early if the plan is to catch Lazic's warm-up before the room fills in for Capriati's stretch.
More ADE and Techno Events in Amsterdam on Mood
BRET's Sunday date is one booking inside a much larger week: Amsterdam Dance Event runs October 21st to 25th across some 200-plus venues citywide for its thirtieth edition, and Mood tracks the techno and tech-house programming across all of them, not just the names that get the press coverage. Amsterdam's techno listings on Mood cover BRET-scale bookings alongside the Gashouder and Sugarfactory stages Capriati also plays that same week.
