Adam Ten is currently in Ibiza, taking a short break before an exciting show at Pacha. The DJ and producer, who specializes in psychedelic house music, has had a milestone year, clocking in with a Coachella debut alongside Mita Gami and an immaculate Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. "I'm taking a small rest before tomorrow," he shares. "It's the closing week of Camelphat Tuesdays, and I'm playing b2b with Pete Tong, which should be a fun one." After, he’s looking forward to some downtime to relax and reflect on it all. "Summer has been amazing but very hectic, so next, it’s time for a shift when I can travel less and have more time to be in the studio and spend time with my friends and family."

Adam acknowledges his heavy tour schedule and its intensity, but don’t expect him to take his foot off the gas any time soon. "It's definitely been a crazy year. Each show is different, and I think that's the fun part. It’s always changing." Already an experienced leader of the Tel Aviv music scene, spearheading one of the top house labels in the region, Maccabi House, Adam knows how to keep an even keel. He admits that while some performances can deliver that “best show ever” vibe, others can sometimes feel just okay. To prevent burnout, Adam says he keeps his mental and physical health in check and always hunts for new music to keep things fresh. "In the end, you'll always have ups & downs, and you need to accept it and also be thankful and not take anything for granted."

This year at Burning Man, Adam played seven sets over just three days, making sure to carve out four days for himself to enjoy the festival with friends. "Burning Man is a special place to connect with yourself, to explore and to open up to others." It pushes him creatively, and he enjoys playing old tracks he might not otherwise include in his usual sets, knowing the audience is open to the experience.

One of his standout projects from this year, his collaboration with Rhye, was directly inspired by the gathering. "I made this edit around one year ago for my morning set at Robot Heart art car in Burning Man. I loved how the original makes you feel something deep." The emotional impact of Rhye's “3 Days Later” moved him, and he aimed to recreate that feeling for the dancefloor. After receiving overwhelming positive feedback from fans, Adam reached out to Rhye, who approved the release. "He loved it and approved it to be released as "3 Days Later".

Adam’s sound is distinctive, and when asked about his influences, he avoids the typical name-dropping. "It's funny because as a producer, you always feel that people around you make better sounds and tracks, and it motivates you to work harder in the studio, especially for me, as I'm not a trained musician." Instead, his inspiration comes from a broad love of music, spanning many genres, and from hearing a track that makes him want to create. "It could be anything that inspires me."

With a year full of milestones, Adam remains focused on growth rather than chasing new goals. "First, let's just say that I'm very happy with where I am now. It's more than enough, and I try to embrace it." He continues to be motivated by producing music and DJing and is excited to see how Maccabi House evolves. After successful events in New York and Los Angeles this year, he plans to bring Maccabi House to as many cities around the world as possible in the coming year.
