Adam B

Posted Thursday 15th January 2009

Adam first started DJing properly when he put on a one off night called Homegrown in his home town of Northwich back in July 2000. The night was run alongside two of his friends (both DJs) Tom Golden & Nathan Landry. Shortly after the night they were contacted by Levi’s and Mixmag to play alongside Tom Stephan on the ‘Levis Student House Party Tour’, which took in Leeds, Newcastle and Sankeys Soap in Manchester.

In 2002 Adam and the other two lads set up www.homegrown-music.com as a base to promote themselves as DJs. The site grew immensely over ve years and is know internationally for its ‘Homegrown Hotmix’ concept in which two guest DJs per month supply mixes for people to stream and download, previous guests have included Jazzanova, Miss Kitten, Mylo, Tom Stephan, Justin Martin, Natural Rhythm, Mazi, Tony Thomas and many more underground DJs. has recently undergone an huge overhaul into a modern blog based site and is summed up by the simple strapline ‘It’s All About Good House Music’.

Djing wise Adam has played at many of the UK’s best clubs including Sankeys Soap, Turnmills, The Bomb, and The Music Box, and has supported some of the best underground DJs in the world today such as Tom Stephan, Audio Bullys, Paul Woolford, James Zabeila, DJ Heather, Jacob London, Nic Fanciulli & Greg Vickers. He has also played all over Europe in countries such as Belguim, Spain, France, Montenegro and has made numerous visits to Croatia where he (alongside the other Homegrown DJs) hold down an annual residency at The Zagreb Film Festival where they play each night of the festival every October.

Adam has joined a small and elite group of DJs that have won I-DJ magazine’s ‘Top Tape’ and also Muzik Magazines ‘Bedroom Bedlam’.

His firrst EP was released in the summer of 2005 on UK label Lost My Dog records and received excellent reviews from DJ & I-DJ magazine as well as making it into the boxes of DJs such as DJ Heather, Joey Youngman, Jay Tripwire, Tyler Stadius and Jimpster to name a few. A second EP (Honey I’ve Lost My Panties EP, written alongside Tom Golden) quickly followed on Pete Dafeet’s Southside Shuffle recordings and this is what I-DJ had to say:

“I’ve lapped up everything these guys have released in their short career. These four trippy little buggers are evidence there is more yet to come. From the jazzy, bendy “VR Nightz” to the twisted tech-ery of “Light Em Up”, it’s like a Midlands house version of MFF. Excellent stuff” – Jez Torrance I-DJ Mag.

Adam has also released tracks on Greenhouse Recordings and is currently in the process of setting up a small label alongside Tom Golden to put out his own releases.
