ADRIANNA Drops Electrifying New Single “Wild Electric”
Emerging as one of the most exhilarating talents in the tech-house scene, Canadian-born and London-based producer and DJ ADRIANNA has just released her latest single, “Wild Electric”, via her own label, Temple House Music. This high-energy track features a relentless four-on-the-floor kick drum, dark and propulsive energy, and a mix of infectious vocal samples and acid synth stabs. This combination creates a hypnotic and dynamic listening experience, perfect for the dancefloor.
ADRIANNA is not just a name to watch; she is fast becoming a global techno phenomenon. With her roots in Victoria, Canada, she has spent the last decade honing her sound in the UK. Her diverse musical background, from early dance training to a deep dive into rave culture, has shaped her into a versatile and innovative artist. ADRIANNA’s sound reflects her wide-ranging influences, from Carl Cox and Deborah De Luca to Roger Sanchez and Adam Beyer.
In 2023, ADRIANNA made a significant mark with her Beatport Hype hit ‘Confidence’ on DJ S.K.T’s Stashed Music. She also hosted her own Temple stage at the Electric Garden festival, featuring top-tier DJs like Franky Wah and Danny Howard, captivating over 15,000 attendees. This momentum has carried into 2024, with “Wild Electric” climbing to #5 on the Beatport charts shortly after its release.
“‘Wild Electric’ is a bass-heavy Techno track with powerful synths. The tone of the vocal is cool and relaxed, and the message is positive and uplifting. I wanted to capture the dramatic impactful heavy-hitting sounds that would impact the dancefloor while still keeping the message optimistic and light.” – ADRIANNA

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
