Adam Polaszek, born in berlin, and one of the four who started Keinemusik there in 2009 alongside Rampa, &ME and reznik, with the illustrator monja gentschow shaping how all of it looks. their own line for what the label does, unchanged for years, is refining house and techno off the beaten path.
he did not come from techno. his resident advisor biography has him starting at sixteen in hardcore punk, new york, boston and washington dc hardcore specifically, then moving through hip hop and turntablism before any of this. dub, dancehall, soul and psychedelic rock are all in there.
he is also the one with the crossover record. Move, made with stryv, orso and malachiii and out on keinemusik in june 2024, went top ten in six countries, went gold or platinum in belgium, france, italy, spain and greece, and picked up a camila cabello version that october. it is the collective's biggest song by a distance.
his own artist bio is short enough to quote in full and worth reading.
I really hate it to write/read my own biography.
