ABOUT
Irish electronic music producer, Anadem, crafts a distinctive musical style that is both dynamic and introspective. His music is often built upon layers of intricate rhythms and melodic motifs, creating unique musical colours and soundscapes.
His musical journey began early, starting piano lessons at the age of seven. By the age of ten, he was collecting records, and by sixteen, he was DJing at events. Soon, he found himself deeply immersed in the vibrant electronic music scene of the 90s in his hometown of Waterford, sharing the bill with luminaries such as Justin Robertson.
However, Anadem's path took an unexpected turn when he was offered a spot in a classical music degree program. During this period, he honed his skills on various instruments, including piano and voice, and was encouraged to explore different forms of composition.
Anadem proudly draws from this diverse musical background in his productions. Influenced by minimalist composers such as Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, his classical roots play a significant role in shaping his approach and style. He also draws inspiration from electronic artists like Jon Hopkins, Ryan Davis, Christian Löffler, Stimming, Rival Consoles, and Max Cooper, whose music serves as a constant source of creative influence.
Anadem's goal with his music is to infuse the emotions he feels into his tracks, enabling listeners to connect on a deep level, whether they are in a club or at home.
To date his music has been released on Elebated Records, PolyAmber Records and SoukSounds. Anadem's debut EP, 'Coral Canvas,' climbed to No. 9 in the Downtempo & Organic House Chart on Beatport, earning accolades from fellow DJs and producers like Joris Voorn, Nicolas Rada, Molac, Greenage, Jozef K, Tom Novy, and Arrab.
