Adam Link is an alter ego I've been using for many years now. It started out as an alternative outlet for more broken-beats-oriented music I had been making now and then.
Some of the releases on my label Program.Records saw the light of day under this name. Because it was quite different from the more techno-like tracks I usually make.

Yes, I'm a techno lover! Most of my dj sets were (and still are) focused on techno. But I never wanted to "just" play techno.
Ever since I took the first steps into the dj world I tried to incorporate other styles of music too. House, acid, trance, techno, breakbeats and electro. And even played the occasional drum 'n bass set.

Alhough techno has been my main direction over all these years, it was not that musical style that planted the seeds of a life in electronic music.
Believe it or not: it was the broken beat that opened my eyes (and ears). Listening to Underworld, the Prodigy, SL2, Orbital, Fluke, Omni Trio, Acen, Autechre, Aphex Twin, FSOL, 808 State, and the list kept getting bigger.
Broken beats everywhere. It shaped my youth, led me into dj-ing, making music, and going to dance parties.

So here we are, the beginning of a new year, taking a trip back to my musical roots in the form of 5 unreleased Adam Link tracks. A mini album, if you will, containing a selection of music that pays tribute to breakbeats. Some tracks with an oldskool vibe, some more dubstep and offbeat oriented tracks and a bit of drum 'n bass to complete the batch.

All these tracks are free. A gift for the new year that I hope will inspire others in the same way. Share it, comment on it, or donate if you like.
Thanks for your support! And have a great 2017!

- Live Music Innovation
- Hightech Jamsessions

Right now is the time for creating new standards and possibilities for collaboration, formations and live-improvisation for the electronic music scene. Symbiotic Sessions aims to create guidelines and an infrastructure for innovative creativity on stage. By doing, experimenting, documenting and sharing knowledge.

Producers and other creatives such as synthesizer enthusiasts and live musicians are full of creative energy, skills and passion for electronic music. But because it's not easy or common to get an electronic act on stage, most of this energy remains in the studio, invisible for the audience.

And despite the numerous developments in technology and growth of the electronic scene, the amount of live-instruments, performance and improvisation in this scene barely increased over the last 25 years. Also, the infrastructure in clubs is still mainly aimed at placing one deejay, usually without his or her own gear or instruments. Nevertheless, the exceptions (electronic acts with expressiveness and innovative elements) are very desirable and gladly seen by the crowd. 

So, join us in our mission to improve and expand live electronic music and follow, join or support Symbiotic Sessions now.
