"Adam K" (Adam Kershen) As a young guy, Adam dealt with life's twists & turns by channeling his energy into music. It started with collecting music but life came to him once he got into the studio. Listening, watching and learning all led to the development of his skills. Adam taught himself how to make music. An empathic relationship in production and harmonics made this sound unique. Experimenting with a variety of programs, synths, VSTs and DAWS Adam became a guru of arranging, composing and mastering. Friends and allies along the way helped propel Adam towards the heavier, groovier nature of electronic music. Superstar Mark Oliver, resident DJ of uber club Guvernment, showed Adam a path that brought out new attentions to certain styles. Adam's chameleonic format changed and soon hits like '40, 000 yrs. of funk' electrified music buyers. Companion and Comrade SOHA opened the door that gave the jazziest feel to the beat. Alongside this musical wizard Adam K. would produce songs that ruled dance floors around the world. This particular certified number one track is 'Twilight'. Other hits in the duo's remix repertoire include Ercola's "Deep At Night", becoming a #33 Billboard Global Dance Tracks Hit and Billboard Top-10 Dance Airplay Hit. Even collabs with DJ Addy would turn DJ heads with the cheeky cover of 'PopCorn'. Independently Adam dropped huge club bombs onto floors everywhere with 'You're not alone' and 'I can feel'. His rmx. of heavyweight deadmau5 '1981' shook the charts. His new updated remix of Reflekt 'Need to feel love' nearly broke his myspace player. Song after song, remix after remix Adam K. fills dance floor with delight. From the sternest underground aficionado to the carefree clubber no one can resist the sounds of Adam k. "Soha" (Soha Radjpoust) Soha Radjpoust is an accomplished artist with almost 20 years of experience to call his own.

Over the years, Soha has made a name for himself both on stage and in the studio.
