Career

In 2016, they founded a record label and platform for the arts called Siamese,[2] which releases their own music as well as productions by others. Siamese has released music by Luca Ballerini, Ed Davenport, Sebastian Mullaert, and Eduardo De La Calle.[3]

After gaining recognition in 2012, Adriatique became affiliated with Solomun's Diynamic Music [1]. They released music on various record labels, including Afterlife.[4] In 2016, they launched their own record label, Siamese, which provides a platform for emerging artists and serves as a creative outlet for Adriatique themselves.[5] In 2017, Adriatique recorded a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.[6] They have also won three Swiss nightlife awards.[7]

Adriatique are also signed to Diynamic and Afterlife (Tale Of Us’ label).[8] Their debut and only full-length studio album to date, "Nude," was released on Tuesday, 11 September 2018, under the Afterlife label. This album marked a milestone in Adriatique's career, expanding their musical style and receiving critical acclaim.[9] Past releases include EPs for Cityfox and Culprit,[10] as well as remixes for Moby, DJ Hell, M.A.N.D.Y, Marc Romboy, and Stephan Bodzin.[11]

In 2022, Adriatique was invited to remix tracks for artists, including RÜFÜS DU SOL[12] and Swedish House Mafia with The Weeknd.[13] They also launched a new event series, "X," in December 2022, aiming to expand internationally and create a platform for music releases.[14] In 2023 the event series saw editions in Zürich, Tel Aviv, Ibiza, Beirut, New York, São Paulo and Amsterdam.[15] 2023 also saw Adriatique perform at the iconic Hatsheput temple in Luxor, Egypt for events organisation Cercle.[16]
