a couple of speakers and insomnia. a daydream that's lasted a lifetime. the stack of records climbing to the ceiling and scared of heights. the clock that haunts the minutes. the pursuit of something that i'll never completely get my arms around. the need to connect . . .

If Adan were a record he'd be the slightly warped late night party starter. The guaranteed floor filler. He promotes a musical style that has evolved from an explosive blend of jackin' house and tech heavy funky breaks. His live (and sometimes rowdy) performances are an irreverent combination of disc jockiness, re-interpretations of his studio work, and the constant pursuit of that party vibe. His sound and approach are geared entirely towards the dance floor and that philosophy applies behind the decks as well as in the studio.
Multiple releases on UK labels have garnered rave reviews in dance mags such as URB, Mixmag, Mixer, iDJ, BPM, etc. and have had the support of many world renowned DJs. Adan's first release on Honchos was only a hint at the sound he'd come to be known for and he wasted no time establishing himself as a producer willing to disregard genre barriers. Subsequent efforts were released by the legendary Boombox Records who were able to showcase that unique mixture of styles which increasingly began to incorporate the elusive 'big room' sound. Upcoming releases on domestic and international labels alike continue to spread Adan's electronic funkyness to sound systems and dancefloors across the world.
