Adam started DJing after seeing Fatboy Slim play to over 250,000 on a sunny July day in 2002. Unable to afford his first set of turntables he still purchased vinyl for the day he could get his hands on a pair.
Now, several years and several thousand of pounds later, Adam, along with his identical twin brother Adrian, are main room residents at the Honey Club in Brighton. Adam and Adrian have warmed up for the likes of Judge Jules, The Freemasons, The Hoxton Whores, Jonathan Ulysses to name but a few. They have also DJ'd at Pacha in London, as well as across the UK.
Adam lists his Hobbies as: Downloading new music, Badminton and Philanthropy.
