Line-up
The Art of A&R by Adam Beyer
Speaker: Adam Beyer (DJ/Producer, Drumcode)
Interviewer: Renske van Kollenburg
A&R skills are the beating heart of any great label, as Adam Beyer, who founded the label Drumcode, will be explaining at ADE Pro during his Creative Keynote. One of the main reasons why the label is a true global brand with a peerless reputation for musical consistency is because he still makes all the A&R decisions himself, a reflection of the fact that his deep love of techno has remained unchanged since the label's earliest days 26 years ago. “Techno is boundless. That’s what pulled me in from the start. When I first heard these records, I was grabbed by how limitless they sounded. They pushed up against the traditional borders that other genres are often restricted by. Decades on, creating futuristic sounds and bringing audiences a show with mind-blowing visuals still truly excites me.”
