their own biography
the whole biography
Adam X’s illustrious music career first came about in 1990 in Brooklyn, NYC where he was born and raised. His earliest productions were released during this period and he soon gained momentum as one of the most adept DJ’s on the global underground techno scene. Alongside pioneer and brother Frankie Bones he also opened the doors of Groove Records in Brooklyn as America’s first true outlet for underground electronic music with a direct focus on the techno genre. The Groove Records team would also take part in organizing the first techno events to ever take place in NYC, including the legendary Storm Rave that started in 1991. Storm Rave was the first all-techno warehouse parties organized on the East Coast of America and the line-ups included many up-and-coming artists who would go on to become global techno cult figures. The Sonic Groove label was born in 1995 at the upgraded Manhattan location of the shop ( also having changed name from Groove Records to Sonic Groove during the transition ). Adam continues to operate the label in an exemplary and innovative way with over 100 releases to date. Primarily a vinyl focused label and including digital distribution, the discography’s current core roster is a mix of EBM and Industrial legends Monolith, Orphx, Rhys Fulber, and Fixmer / McCarthy as well as modern day techno heavyweights Dasha Rush, The Panacea, Blush Response and Max Durante. A unique perspective and acute knowledge of the music can be recognized in his DJ and live sets which have always retained a unique sense of an un-compromised approach to the dance floor, keeping with the sanctity of breaking new boundaries in sound and evolving with an edge of genre defiance and auditory cross-pollination. Adam’s approach facilitated acid techno’s dominance in the early to mid nineties and he nearly single handedly put the Industrial and EBM Techno cross-over genres on the contemporary map. His Traversable Wormhole, ADMX-71, The Secret Initiative, Mass-X-Odus and X-Crashed side-projects along with his collaboration with co-conspirator U.K. based artist Perc with their project AX&P, have all strongly impacted the most discerning audiences. Adam X has also released his own work on his seminal imprint as well as releases on some of the most essential labels to exist both past and present such as, Wax Trax!, Direct Drive, Magnetic North, Peacefrog, Drop Bass Network, CLR, Hands Productions as well as preeminent contemporary labels Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, L.I.E.S and Hospital Productions. Adam currently resides in the electronic music capital of the world Berlin, Germany. With unparalleled dedication his activities never cease as he continues his individual tradition of operating on every vital level from label activity to organizing events in the legendary Tresor club and performing in the some of the worlds most credible venues which he has been doing since the early 90’s. Adam X Is a true force whose contribution has reached far into bringing the future forward for electronic music.Their RA profile lists Reclaim Your City and Traxxmen.Recently at Refuge, Paragon, Signal · often with GLOBUS, TRESOR, Damon Wild, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Perc is one of electronic dance music’s reference points: an internationally touring DJ, label owner and one of the most respected producers in techno today. Known as one of the most forward-thinking individuals in techno Perc (aka London based Ali Wells) fuses current sounds with his extensive knowledge of electronic music’s past to create something new & unique. A regular artist on such scene-leading labels as CLR, Kompakt, Drumcode, Stroboscopic Artefacts and Ovum as well as his own world-reknown Perc Trax imprint, Perc is as uncompromising as he is unique. As a DJ, Perc has taken to the decks across the world in seminal clubs such like Berghain, Fabric, Cocoliche in Buenos Aires, Space Ibiza, Tresor, Unit in Tokyo and many more. His sound is a fusion of the cream of current techno mixed with choice selections from electronic music’s forefathers. Production-wise the last few years can be described in two words 'Wicker & Steel' - the title of Perc's debut album, released on Perc Trax in June of 2011 and which has lifted him to a new level of respect and recognition. In the last year Perc has diversified with remixes for Factory Floor on DFA, Black Asteroid on Electric Deluxe, Mike Parker on Edit Select and Oscar Mulero on Warm-Up, plus two EPs; the searing statement of intent that is ‘A New Brutality’ on Perc Trax and Guardian single of the week ‘Pure & Simple’ on Sleaze. This coupled with his busiest ever year of gigs including debut appearances in Argentina, Australia, Singapore and Finland has meant his sound is better known and more influential than ever before.
