ADAM SKY

ADAM made his 1st record aged 11 years,in 1979,as part of the kinderpunk group "THE STUPID BABIES".....
The song, 'BABYSITTERS' was on the EARCOM 3 e.p. on FAST PRODUCT records along with german electronic pioneers D.A.F. who hugely influenced Adam......
The song was regulaly played on the JOHN PEEL radioshow and SIOUXSIE SIOUX told Adam ,years later,and much to his delight, that she allways carried a copy in her handbag and pestered djs to play it when she went to clubs...........................

In 1986 Adam formed DISKORD DATKORD with JONNY SLUT(dj and host of club NAGNAGNAG in london where adam was a regular dj and performer)and his brother TINLEY,then known as TRASHMASTER T(who made the acid house classic'GARDEN OF EDEN' 1988).....
They only released one single(of the week in N.M.E.),a cover version of X RAY SPEX's 'identity' which included samples of the original played over a MANTRONIX bassline.....Possibly the 1st ever ELECTROCLASH record?....
Also around this time Adam had another project called 'THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISKORD' who released a version of DAVID BOWIE'S 'Rebel Rebel' ,which sampled,bizarrely, THE NOLAN SISTERS and CARMEN MIRANDA.....
This was played regulaly on STEVE JACKSON'S then pirate KISS FM radio show.................................................

In 1988 Adam(who had by now become ADAMSKI named after the UFO enthusiast/space traveller GEORGE ADAMSKI) met his house music mentor JIMI POLO from CHICAGO,U.S.A....
They moved into adjoining bedsits above THE PARADISE KEBAB SHOP in Camden ,London and JIMI taught Adam how to use a sequencer and 909 drum machine.....
He also introduced Adam to many of his house music heroes from Chicago like ADONIS,MARSHALL JEFFERSON and ROBERT OWENS......Adam ,in turn ,provided JIMI POLO with the much-sampled(by BLUR etc) piano riff for his house music classic 'BETTER DAYS'........................................
************************************************************ **********************************************************
So in early 1989, following JIMI POLO's lead Adam started taking his sequencer,drum machine and sampler to nightclubs,plugging into the dj mixer,and playing live mixdowns of his self-composed tracks...
and went from playing after hours parties in LE PETIT PRINCE in Kentish town,London,which was owned by his then manager,PHILIP RAPIER-SMITH to playing at all the legendary and pioneering house clubs all over britain including SHOOM ,HEAVEN and SOLARIS in London,the HACIENDA in Manchester,the SUB CLUB in glasgow and UNDERGROUND in Liverpool etc etc.....

In 1990 he had a massive hit with the track "Killer" featuring the vocals of SEAL....The song has since been covered by GEORGE MICHEAL,german twance dj ATB, SUGABABES and most recently GLOBAL DJS....
in the early 90's Adam continued to produce artistic dance music and work with such diverse talents as MARK STEWART, NENA HAGEN,AFRIKA BAMBAATAA,ELTON JOHN and RICARDO DA FORCE of THE KLF....
he then formed PING PONG(now known as PING PONG BITCHES)......
