Adriatique, the dynamic Swiss electronic music duo comprising Adrian Schweizer and Adrian Shala, has been captivating audiences since their inception in 2009. Their journey began in Zurich, where their shared passion for house and techno music led to a fruitful collaboration. Over the years, they have released a plethora of EPs and singles, with standout tracks like “The Spirit,” “Lophobia,” and their critically acclaimed debut album, “Nude,” released in 2018 under the Afterlife label. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, showcasing their unique sound and artistic evolution.
In 2016, Adriatique took a bold step by founding their own record label, Siamese. This platform not only serves as a creative outlet for their music but also promotes emerging artists, further enriching the electronic music scene. Their affiliation with renowned labels such as Diynamic and Afterlife has solidified their reputation as leading figures in the melodic techno genre. Their innovative approach to music production has garnered them three Swiss Nightlife Awards, recognizing their contributions to the nightlife culture.
Adriatique’s influence extends beyond their own releases; they have remixed tracks for prominent artists like Moby and Swedish House Mafia, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Their participation in high-profile events, including a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, has further elevated their status in the global music community.
In recent years, Adriatique has expanded their reach with the launch of their event series, “X,” which aims to create a platform for music releases and international performances. Their 2023 performances at iconic venues, including the Hatsheput temple in Luxor, Egypt, exemplify their commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and connecting with audiences worldwide. With a rich discography and a vision for the future, Adriatique continues to be a driving force in the electronic music landscape.
