Split (Single Version)

Not your run-of-the-mill working-class Eastern European non-binary DJ. The producer, vocalist, but also visual and digital artist strives for innovative sound design and visceral body response, despite (or maybe coupled with) raw emotion that permeates their musical output. They’re a proud member of the Ciężki Brokat crew (with whom they run the annual Warsaw Pride official afterparty), co-creator of Radio Kapitał, Polish ambassador for Keychange and SHAPE Platform 2021 resident.

Their own music has morphed several times throughout the last 15 years – from industrial or purely synthetic timbres, through polyphonic singing with Pleśni to a perplexing fusion of rhythmically and sonically jagged compositions, bass-heavy club tracks on their EPs, 'Gusła (Human Rites)' on Tańce, a limited vinyl release on London-based 51-53 Records, 'Doolska' and the latest, more experimental 'Lamenty' EP.

They presented their music during numerous festivals (Unsound, CTM, Schiev, Up To Date, Tauron Nowa Muzyka, Les Siestes Electroniques, Audioriver) and an assortment of clubs (including the legendary Berghain) in Poland and abroad (Berlin, London, Prague, Oslo, Copenhagen, Ljubljana). They remixed tracks by Kamp and Baasch, recorded mixes for Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, HӦR and CRACK, composed and created impromptu live music for interactive theatre plays: Method of National Constellations, quadraphonic sound for Jawić się, music for a Women’s Strike street theatre Manifesta and original score for Ideologix, a US-written and directed queer opera.

In the club their seventeen-year experience of supporting queer, anti-fascist and underground scenes results in an almost annoyingly disparate selection of the most forward-thinking sound offered by today’s scene. In their series of DJ-sets and club nights they blend unusual rhythmic patterns kicked up a notch with their improvised vocals.

A man with the piano who between its keys intertwines the discreet notes of electronic decadency.
Adre’n’Alin is classics vs. electronics, cosmos vs. atom, adrenaline vs. tranquility, dirt vs. full-cut. The masculine
Adre meets the feminine Alin. They merge.

Igor’s musical journey begins in 2007 with the electro-clash Thing on Sleep Well v.3 compilation by Requiem Records.
But it’s only 2009 when the now known Adre’n’Alin is born – exploring, experimenting and playing with the sound.

The Cargo – a self-released album – is full of non-cliché melodies, original vocal and instruments, and a vast
electronic landscape. It all helped the artist to attract new fans both in the country and abroad.
Cargo is followed by requests for gigs – the live band is now: a string trio and a bass. With such band A’n’A performs
in the best concert halls next to: Bonobo, Port Royal, Baaba Kulka, Muchy, Julia Marcell and on festivals: Heineken
Open’er, Audioriver, Before Tauron Nowa Muzyka, All For Planet, Artenalia and We Have Sound.

2010 is a year of the EP The Postman. Igor consequently proves that the marriage of the piano and electronic sounds
is not threatened by a divorce for a long time to come. The EP contains hits like: Prey and You Are the Best.
Monster Tonight is an EP released in 2011. The title song is later released in the Pink Kong Strong 1 compilation by
the Polish label Pink Kong.

Right after the Monster… comes another EP – Helios. Its mission is to prepare everyone for the soon to be released
second long play, this time inspired by the power of electricity both on Earth and in space.

The new material Igor is working on is going to be a bit more harsh than Cargo. It is going to stay in the typical for
him air of electronic poetry, though.


Adre’N’Alin to Igor Szulc – wokalista, kompozytor i pianista, który łącząc brzmienia fortepianu z elektroniką nie boi się eksperymentów na polu gatunkowym. Po raz pierwszy w szerszej świadomości pojawił za sprawą utworu „Thing” wydanego przez Requiem Records na kompilacji SLEEP WELL v.3 w 2007 roku. Po dwóch latach ukazuje się niezależnie wydany album Cargo, w którym orkiestrowe aranżacje przeplatają się z żywą elektroniką. Album ten znajduje uznanie słuchaczy, stacji radiowych i prezentowany jest między innymi w takich audycjach jak „Leniwa Niedziela” i „Radio Maria” radia Roxy FM.
 
„Czym zachwyca Cargo? Chilloutową, często ambientową elektroniką nasączoną klasycznym instrumentarium ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem fortepianu. Intrygującą wiolonczelą wyłuskaną z klubowego beatu. Niepokojącym, lekko neurotycznym nastrojem. Orkiestrowym przepychem. I koniec końców - przejmującymi melodiami... W muzyce Adre'N'Alin słychać lekkość łączenia elektronicznych loopów w nośne linie, czuć precyzyjną wiedzę o oczekiwaniach słuchacza. Igor nie atakuje ilością bitów na sekundę. Wydaje się być oazą spokoju. Co z tego, skoro przy niektórych kawałkach ciężko usiedzieć w miejscu.”- We Are From Poland
 
W 2010 roku na światło dzienne wychodzi krótki album "The Postman", którym Igor Szulc przypomina, że dopiero rozwija skrzydła, zaś wiosna 2011 roku została przywitana singlem "Monster Tonight".
