a biografia usual:
Adam Beyer became dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm
early on. After playing the drums as a teenager his obsession
turned to the decks. In 1990 he bought his first set of turntables
and started spinning a wide range of hiphop, hiphouse, acid and
techno at local parties and clubs. Beyer soon learned how to blend
his sets in a thoughtfull and highly focused way, a talent that has
now developed into his trademark style. In 92 Fellow school friend
Peter Benisch introduced Beyer to the sampler , a year later they
got their first record deal with New York based Direct Drive. After
finishing school in 1995, Beyer started work at the Planet Rhythm
record store while releasing some tracks under a variety of names
and continually djing all over Scandinavia.
Adam Beyer sites Drumcodes 1 (Planet Rhythm 1995) as the first
record to define his style; hard, percussive and loop oriented.
This 12" names Beyer´s future label and was soon followed by
his critically acclaimed debut album Decoded (Planet Rhythm 1996).
His need to create the perfect dj tool gave rise to the launch of
the Drumcode label allowing him total musical freedom. The
label´s strong concept and high production levels meant it
enjoyed immediate success. After six releases Beyer launched his
second label Code Red focusing on a slightly softer side of techno.
Code Red finished with its 10 th and final release Stand Down (Code
Red 1999) which was a compilation of remixes from various
international artists.
His production skills soon brought Beyer to the attention of djs
worldwide and global bookings soon followed. His meteoric rise has
been cited as one of the catalysts for Swedish techno´s
current influence. He pinpoints the Stockholm sound as being
closely linked to his network of friends in the city aswell as the
triumvirate of himself, Joel Mull and Cari Lekebusch. After many
releases and remixes on various labels he launched the second album
Protechtion (Drumcode 1999). While the market was being flooded
with monoton loop oriented techno Beyer worked on strengthening the
arrangements that characterised his earlier works, aswell as adding
melodic strings. Still with a clear focus on the dance floor.
The same year Adam Beyer and Cari Lekebusch linked up to create a
stunning live act first witnessed in London to instant acclaim. The
act created the intense feeling of a creative dj set while the duo
played back to back mixing their production styles.
