About
In the contemporary era of DJing in which many selectors neglect the fundamentals of the craft, Doc Adam strives to hold fast to basic elements of the art: technical skill, quality selection, and the ability to rock any party which confronts him.Holding a Ph.D. in philosophy, Doc Adam is the thinking man's DJ - but this doesn't hamper his ability to throw himself full-swing into the center of a party.The skill set which he possesses today is something developed over the course of a decade-plus behind the turntables during which he has refused to let his abilities or his musical knowledge stagnate.
Doc Adam cut his teeth in the turntablist and party scene in the late '90s in Detroit and Ann Arbor, MI where he grew accustomed to rocking crowds and DJ battles alike, flipping back and forth between hip hop, downtempo, ghettotech, and minimal techno.Having gained the utmost respect for the craft of DJing and the power of nearly all genres of dance music as a member of Ann Arbor's Unfadeable Crew, Doc Adam persisted throughout his years spent living between Germany and Oregon, honing his skills in various capacities and growing accustomed to rocking to anyone who is thrown in front of him playing any conceivable genre of music - he prides himself on his encyclopedic knowledge of music and his ability to both read and push the dancefloor.
In the past few years Doc Adam has performed everywhere from Düsseldorf to Detroit, Tucson to Minneapolis, and beyond.He can be found rocking parties multiple nights every week in Portland, usually with his fellow members of the Ante Up crew - AnteUpPDX.com -Ronin Roc and DJ Nature.He has played with DJs and performers ranging from The Pack to Parliament Funkadelic, Tony Touch to Sammy Bananas, Spoek Mathambo to Scottie B and more of the top-tier DJs in the world than can be listed here.Doc Adam is one of the premier producers of Moombahton - his work has been featured on blogs including Mad Decent, Generation Bass, Hat+Hoodie, Global Ghetto and Tropical Bass.He is the in-house engineer for FRESHselects.net working with artists including Onra, Waajeed, Mayer Hawthorne, Invincible, Blu, and Buff One.He is also member of the Crossfaded Bacon - CrossfadedBacon.com - family of DJs and producers.
Doc Adam's resume and history in the game speaks for itself, but he refuses to rest content.Keep your eyes and ears open, as Doc Adam is only getting better with time.
