Adamski

Adamski, best known for his international No.1 smash 'Killer' introducing Seal, is launching his innovative electronic music project, "After 25 years in the nightspots of the world providing sci-fi beats for hedonists, and even longer as a consumer of all the best scenes from glam rock to grime, I am now spurting all my creative juice into what I call '3STEP'," he says...

Futurewaltz / 3STEP is Adamski's 21st century update of the style of music known as the Waltz. Originally thought of as an indecent dance in 18th century England, Waltzing originally became popular in Vienna in the 1780s and quickly spread throughout Europe as the most popular form of dance. Waltzing is a twirling dance in ¾ time performed in close proximity by couples. Bored of seeing clubbers dancing alone all these years, Adamski has put a modern twist on the dance in a bid to get people dancing together.

"The waltz was not initially a formal dance with strict ballroom steps" It usually involved grabbing the nearest desirable human being and whisking them around with reckless abandon. It was much later that it became stuffy, institutionalized and commodified — as is often the way with sub-cultural innovations...I realized just how sexy and groovy the waltz rhythm can be after hearing its influence in the folk music of Venezuela, which is a country I visit a lot, while googling its origins, I became fascinated and inspired by the whole history of the Waltz and its social and cultural significance."

Early 2015 saw the release of a 10 x 10" limited edition vinyl box set of a 20 track album entitled REVOLT (300 copies / Download on Adamski's Futurewaltz label) which features artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, David McAlmont, Congo Natty, Asia Argento, Bishi, Rowdy SS, and Betty Adewole.
