RELNOTES..:
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 cites 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 as well 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 monotone, loop-oriented techno,
Beyer worked on strengthening the arrangements that characterised his earlier
works, as well as adding melodic strings. Still with a clear focus on the dance
floor.s
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.
As Drumcode has focused on Swedish artists, with Remainings III (Drumcode 2001)
Beyer launched a new limited series. Halfseries (ie 20.5) includes remixes from
international artists aswell as up and coming Swedish producers. The series
contains ten releases and a final compilation.
In 2002 Beyer plans on creating a new label, Truesoul, which would allow more
space for a wider range of influences. Truesoul started as a closed internet
discussion with friends in Stockholm. The group was founded by Henrik Fagerberg
who is now art director and designer for the label. Truesoul is influenced by
twenty years of listening to electronic music and will focus on conceptual
projects and full length albums.
Adam Beyer?s focused djing and uncompromising production style has brought him
to the global arena of techno, continually playing clubs and releasing records
all over the world. Despite his young age, Adam Beyer has become one of techno?s
leading figures.
