End the year on an energetic note with the final instalment of our Mental Picks series from Expmental Records. As we mark 15 successful years, we reflect on a year characterized by superior events held at Sonar week, London, Manchester, Ibiza, and culminating at ADE in Amsterdam. 
Our concluding Mental Picks compilation introduces an eclectic mix of three tracks from a diverse array of talented artists. We commence with a track from Schime, now featured for the second time on our label within the same year. Our second offering is a complex track that blends the signature styles of India-born Adam Rahman and Sonic Jay based in Dubai, marking their first contribution to our label. To encapsulate the collection, Eddy Romero, the linchpin of our label, collaborates with Dave Hang for a sonically intriguing closing track crafted during the post-Sonar week festivities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our supporters for their unwavering encouragement throughout the year. Keep an eye out for more releases that await you beyond this collection.

Adam Rahman's ItZsumo, brings a hypnotic minimal-esque. The percussive flow relates to the deep inward feelings, coupled with the bouncing bass as the deep horn stabs resonate in the darkness creating a sense of uncertainty before the synth work drive forward.

Keeping the main idea of the orginal, Sixth Tone strips the track back to the drum and synth work taking us on different forms of groove as he builds and morphs through arpeggio phases of synthetics, providing us with his top remix.

Adam Rahman is a DJ/Producer based out of Dubai, who has been instrumental in developing the Techno scene in India and the Middle East.

A DJ, promoter, label owner, and festival co-owner, Adam Rahman has exerted a significant influence on the dance music scene in the Middle East, India, and now expanding his impact globally over the span of several decades. Although techno currently dominates the dance music landscape, he has consistently advocated for cutting-edge music, whether in the realm of Techno or Electronica.

An innovative DJ and visionary promoter, Adam introduced avant-garde techno and electronic music to the Middle East shortly before the turn of the millennium. Through his WARPED nights, he laid the foundation for an exceptionally credible dance music scene. WARPED has transformed into exclusive gatherings and a monthly radio show called 'Warped After Hours' on Ibiza Global Radio, featuring emerging talents from the Middle East and India alongside Adam's unparalleled music curation.

Further accomplishments ensued through his contributions at Ohm Records, the renowned record store and agency he managed for many years, which introduced brands like Chill Out Festival, Taboo, iLL Communications and many more. Frequently, he would also perform during those events, demonstrating his versatility across a spectrum of styles encompassing deep, rhythmic and captivating vibes. He has shared the stage with notable figures like Derrick May, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson, and numerous other renowned artists. Subsequently, he became an indispensable member of the acclaimed Groove on the Grass festival team, once again positioning himself at the forefront of innovative dance music scene in the Middle East. In doing so, he continued to propel techno and electronica toward a burgeoning audience.

The advancement he achieved on a regional scale has been mirrored by his international performances, spanning Europe and Asia, and elevating him to a headlining position in his home countries, India & UAE. As a certified sound engineer, he swiftly transitioned into production roles, releasing music on labels
worldwide, as well as on his cherished KitchenSync Records—a label he co-manages in Dubai with two other friends. His DJ sets have garnered global attention, with his mix for Resident Advisor's Wild City being the inaugural
feature from India.

Through his A \ S \ O \ M alias, he has put forth a diverse range of music encompassing downtempo, leftfield, and alternative electronica. Adam's growth, evolution, and success mirror that of his initial passion, techno. Adam delves into a broad spectrum within the house and techno genre, presenting an array that spans from deep, dark, hypnotic, driving, loopy sounds to the groove-infused house and techno influenced by the Romanian music scene.

His performances are characterized by their ever-changing nature, steering clear of predictability while offering a unique experience each time.
