Beginning with the debut Drumcode 1 released on Planet Rhythm’s record label, Beyer’s production highlights including releases for Plus 8, NovaMute, Cocoon and Soma; remixes of Underworld ‘Push Upstairs’, Morgan ‘Flowerchild’ and Matthew Jonson ‘Marionette’ and a wealth of material on his own Drumcode, Truesoul and MadEye imprints.

Something of an obsessive when it comes to creating his own productions, an understanding of the Swede’s studio method can be traced back his formative years. The beating percussive pulse of his music has been at the heart of his taste since adopting the role of drummer in a band while at school. By the time he was a young adult he was fully immersed in electronic music. DJing at friends parties, working in the record shop, experiemtning with samplers and an Atari computer, investing what money he could in better and more equipment; everything was focused on music. This self-drive and dedication has been central to the development of his sound. Self-taught and instinctively creative; the result is a distinct style built on patience and natural technique, balancing impact and originality.

The development of his own sound can be seen in the maturity of the three record labels Beyer positions at the heart of his operation. A passionate A&R, Beyer has bucked recent trends as Drumcode, Truesoul and Mad Eye go from strength to strength. Established in 1996, Drumcode was and still is about a very clear musical vision. Honest, forward thinking and functional; the label has stayed on its one true course from the outset; providing a consistent home to core artists such as Slam, Cari Lekebusch, Pär Grindvik, Jesper Dählback and Jerome Sydenham, while creating a platform for the leaders of the techno new-wave; Paul Ritch, Joseph Capriati and Alan Fitzpatrick. Truesoul pushes the boundaries of the accepted norm with forward-thinking music from Joel Mull, Nihad Tule and Reset Robot while Mad Eye is where Beyer chooses to showcases his more personal and inventive work

Beyer’s progressive approach to his craft naturally transcends into the live arena. A natural and accomplished DJ capable of playing across the range of his genre, his sets are characterized by a mesmerizing fluidity that enhances the power and impact of the music he has become so associated with; as witnessed on compilations for Fabric, Music Man and Time Warp. Greeted with the knowing expectation reserved for headline acts wherever he plays, Beyer prefers to share the limelight with the acts he supports on his labels. Nowhere is this attitude more evident than at the expanding network of Drumcode parties that are now a big draw across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America as the reach of Adam Beyer and Drumcode continues to grow; showing no sign of slowing after fifteen thriving years in the game.
