HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Music Inc. (HKEX: 9899, "NetEase Cloud Music" or the "Company"), a well-known online music platform featuring a vibrant content community, participated for the first time as an ADE Pro speaker at ADE 2023, sharing insights and opportunities in China's dance music industry.

As the most upfront, influential and educational gathering for electronic music and its industry, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) attracts a total of more than 1,000 events in nearly 200 locations across its multidisciplinary program. The presentation titled "Chinese Dance Music Report," delivered on October 18, marks the Company's first time participating at the event since the pandemic, as well as its first time as an ADE Pro speaker.
