Adam began DJ'ing
while attending college in 1995. After many years
of listening to legendary Philly DJ's such as
Robbie Tronco, Josh Wink and many others, he started
collecting music and DJ'ing for fun. After heading
up to Penn State University to get a degree in
Electrical Engineering, he began playing at various
parties, clubs and events during college for fun
and to help him pay his way through school. He
did a wide variety of events at college, from
weddings, fraternity parties, bars, clubs, just
about anything.
Adam has always had a diverse interest in music
and during his first couple years as a DJ, he
played everything from disco, 80's music, rap,
house, progressive house, trance to just about
every age group, young and old. At Penn State
he met one of his mentor's and now close friends,
Mike Musso.
Adam learned many things from Mike, including
Mike's amazing ability to read and entertain a
crowd, and at the same time try and educate them
with new music and push the limits. Also as an
engineer and working with close friend Joe DiSanzo,
Adam designed and installed club sound and lighting
systems. With an engineer's background, he got
through many of those "sticky situations" where
sound systems fail, equipment breaks, etc, and
the knowledge necessary to start work on his own
studio.
In the middle of 1999, Adam began to go new york
to music shop and hear different dj's and music.
He heard world renown DJ/Producer Danny Tenaglia
play that summer for the first time and was instantly
drawn into the deeper, darker sounds DT plays.
his taste for music shifted more and more toward
deeper, darker house sounds and away from the
rapidly growing progressive house/commercial scene
that existed where he was at college. He started
playing more at raves and underground parties
where he had more musical freedom.
After finishing his stay at Penn State in May
of 2000, he moved back home to Philadelphia and
began working on a few production projects and
started working his way into the local Philly
scene. In September, 2000, he was given a special
opportunity to fill in for Danny Tenaglia at club
Vinyl in New York City while Danny was away at
an overseas gig. After that gig, he began playing
at various venues in Philadelphia. he is currently
working in the studio on various production and
remix projects and has various future gigs in
the works in Philadelphia, New York and abroad. |
