ESTABLISHED: In 1995 by Adam Lee Miller; Nicola Kuperus came on board on 1996. Together, the pair produce music as Adult.

STYLE (according to Miller): “It's mutated electronic pop music.”

ARTISTS: Adult., Magas, Lowfish, Le Car, G.D.Luxxe, N.O.I.A., DMX Krew

ESSENTIAL LISTENING:
Adult., Resuscitation Le Car, “Auto-Motif” Magas, Bad Blood EP

FUTURE CLASSIC: The Misery Loves Company compilation featuring Adult., Kitbuilders, Gold Chains and others (May 2002). “It's our reaction toward more cheesy '80s electro stuff — very aggressive, in-your-face electronic music,” Kuperus says.

MANIFESTO (according to Miller): “Music for music's sake, electronic music with a punk-rock approach as far as doing it for the right reasons.”

A&R PHILOSOPHY (according to Kuperus): “We're looking for somebody who has a vision. Everybody's going to have some kind of reference, but we look for people who are pushing the envelope. In every release and in every song, there has to be something that's individual.”
