We're lucky enough to present Swiss producer, Cosmic Kingsnake's, debut release: Ad Astra EP. He takes us on a winding expedition through his extensive consciousness. It's an opulent EP with calculated contrast and the unanticipated, whether it be dark techno/metal hybrids, abstract psychedelic techno or chunky, melodic progressive. Along with his narrative mastermind, you'll be provoked with organic harmonies, spooky cinematics, slamming techno kicks & bold synths. The final product is a heaving yet poised sonic affront. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

After more than a decade of producing minimalistic and progressive electronic music and performing around the world, Diamandy established himself as an artist with an ‘’outside of the box’’ approach. A spicy mix of cultures, music and sound education can clearly be noticed in Diamandy’s production.

Acid Flowers EP is the debut release by the German co-founder of Digital Diamonds and one half of Alic, Piece Of Acid. The driving concept behind the project is based on Roland’s renowned bass synthesizer from the ’80s, called the TB-303, after its unique sound and warm timbre. This gives the EP a retro, acid techno vibe complemented by analog sounds and clear-cut production. However, there’s a refreshing visionary, psychedelic approach in the textures and sound design, using insect-like and glitch effects. On top of that, it has ear-catching ideas that make the tracks not only dance floor gems but well-composed songs. We foresee a promising future for this budding project.

About

Music is a passion dominating everything else in life. For those driven by it, it comprehends beauty, fulfilment and commitment. To be lost in sound and being part of it, be it as a raver or a producer, is a transcendental experience letting you grow into to new levels of sensitivity. Feeling that vibe, sharing it with wider audiences and experiencing an emotional drive together can be addictive, even a turning point in life always to be remembered.

Adamson knows that quite well. Starting as a raver during the golden days of Techno, he soon felt the urge to not only consume, but to share.

Starting as DJ and producer simultaneously in 2001, he understood the art of transferring his experiences as passionate dancer into sounds and arrangements instinctively. The need for beauty in sound combined with a driving but sensual bass drum builds the core of his production skills, while as a DJ he combines deep bass driven tracks with more melodic atmospheres and unusual elements to sophisticated uniqueness..

As a member of the well-known Psy-Techno Duo Alic, he soon gained a widespread reputation within the Psychedelic Techno scene, which lead him to audiences all over the world, including the Americas, New Zealand and of course Europe.

In comparison to his activities with Alic, Adamson explores with this side project other styles of electronic music, an intense journey that leads him into the realms of (Chameleon) Techno. But still, he remains confident to his curriculum and manages to spice up sets of clean beats with funky, sexy elements, always aware of his roots and the needs of a dedicated dancer.

Using the alias Adamson he publishes music on the well-known label Digital Diamonds, based in Berlin but reaching out to the whole planet. Gaining much attention for his skills as producer and DJ, he soon multiplied bookings that again drove him around the globe, performing in South America as well as at Afrika Burn and Burning Man.

Adamson lives music as a passion and transfers this state of mind into tracks as well as DJ sets. On stage, he is a performer knowing how to drive an audience, how to transfer desire not only in music, but also in actions and movement. A born performer. Today, Adamson is an explorer, in terms of music. Always interested in new sounds and techniques, he loves diving into the seas of possibilities, going deep to the ground to discover sounds that he knows to shape into diamonds when he emerges.

Don't miss him, when he hits the stage!
