Biography of Ad:Ryan |  | | Real name / | Alahs | | Moniker(s) / | Adriatique |
Ad:Ryan a Dj & Producer of a new, independent generation of Artists began his way as a musician, just
like everyone else, by trying several instruments and scratching on grandfather's Turntable, nothing special about that. He was born in the mid 80's, when the Techno & House Community was rising to their own Subculture.
Still at a club disabled age he followed his cousin patrick bo to his shows and was fascinated by the
atmosphere of an electronic dance music party, which caught him just in a minute. From that point on, he knew what his future is about.
Influenced by deep house, techno and soulful underground grooves he decided to put himself behind the decks. Therefore followed many night sessions, browsing vinyls, discover grooves and find the perfect mixture of different sound styles. At young age, he already had a smart understanding of all kinds of music, thru his musical background in his family, which helped him to expand as a Dj very quickly. Start was his weekly residency at the "Legendary Thursdays" at the well known In-club in Austria, the "Innauer".
The natural born austrian, who meanwhile lives in Zurich, was never affected by different fads, but recognized trends very early and so he created his own individual style. Electronic dance music in general and in the specific deep, twisted, groovy house sound, still technoid and with a touch of soul.
Harmony between Dj-ing, performance and immediate contact with the people makes a good to a "better" Dj. Ad has a sensible feeling for the Clubheads, dance-a-holics and all the others, for which "music" is more than just a word. He loves to mix up different styles to make his sets intensive, diversified and unique. Almost poetic, comparable with an exiting story. Always in search for the perfect. That's what Ad loves and celebrates, lifestyle, but very hard work.
"Music is like a trip and i am travelling a lot, but i am still at the beginning of the road",
In 2008 Ad:Ryan got in touch with the Urban Agency which manages among others the Brand "Private Fiction". This enabled him to mix the last two Compilations of that Label(Private Fiction Vol. 9 and 10).
"Private Fiction Vol. 10 out on 31 July 2009"
Nowadays Ad is fully integrated in the electronic music-scene and performed at the Cocoon Club Frankfurt, Loft Club Ludwigshafen, Resident at "I love Kaufleuten" Zürich, Q-Club, Supermarket Zurich, Opium Club Vodice, just to name a few.
After stunning and exiting moments as a performer, it was time for the next chapter. End of 2008 he got to know his companion Dj Adriano with whom Ad has connected both, musically and personally. Currently they invest most time and effort in their studio work to perfect their experimental, fresh and innovative grooves. It will be interesting to hear the outcome of these creative heads in the near future.
