Adam Beyer: 30 years of Drumcode

With 30 years of Drumcode on the horizon, we sit down with techno titan Adam Beyer to reflect on a career that has shaped the sound of dance floors around the world. From buying his first record in Sweden to commanding the biggest stages in global techno, Adam takes us back to where it all began, sharing stories from his early days DJing and producing, the moment Drumcode was born, and how the label grew from a gritty underground project into a worldwide institution.

We dive into key turning points: signing breakout artists, throwing the first Drumcode events, and the challenges of building something lasting. Adam opens up about the pressure of staying true to his vision, what he's learned from life in Ibiza, and the emotional moments that still give him goosebumps- from Cocoon Mondays in Amnesia's main room to sunrise sets that reminded him exactly why he does this.

As he looks ahead to Drumcode’s 30th anniversary, Adam shares the philosophy that’s carried him through three decades at the frontline of techno, and what he hopes to pass on to the next generation.
