Dust storms and bio-diesel generators vibrating amongst a haze of awe, exaltation, celebration and emotion, bass blasts out of a mutant vehicle set up at 'no-where in particular', roughly lining up between 3.15 and 'The Man' and near the snake sculpture, a crowd moshes and bounces to bass-driven, crunk mutations of something that must be dance music, by the fact that people are clearly dancing to it.
Justice - Nazereth tears the sound system a new portal and the systems grinds down to a shreak, radio waves pulsate through the air and a PA announcement,"You are listening to an-ten-nae radio 91.1FM." This is 'an-ten-nae' AKA Adam Ohana, bringing it amongst the likes of Freq Nasty, Adam Freeland, Lee Coombs, Glitch Mob and many more dance music luminaries at Burning Man.
We have featured his remix of 'Elixir' in our blog last year but feel that it is time for a more extensive look at the man who is as likely to be rocking designer fashion line launches in Tokyo as he is festivals around the globe and freaky scenes across USA.
Adam has more than 10 years of recording history and releases on a plethora of labels including; Functional Breaks, Superstition, Ceiba, Edgecore, Sessions, Return To The Source, Positiva, Pyramid Records (UK), Moonshine, Transient, Big Booty and of course Muti Music amongst even more and a few white labels too. He has as many aliases and styles to match the output and has proved a production maestro to be taken note of.
Adam currently produces as 'an-ten-nae' and is also one part of 'Orgasmotron', 'Ruined' and 'D'n A'. His remixes and mashups make his sound and his sets as unique in sound as they are in flavor, he's been known to classify past sets as 'Punk-Rock-Country-Hop' and the sound he's dropping now could loosely be classified as 'Dubstep' and 'Glitch Hop' fused into a bass-driven twisted dancefloor crunk that leaves little option but to get down a groove to.
An-ten-nae has used his musical vision to influence the San Francisco nightlife scene for more than a decade and resulting in him revitalizing super-club 1015 over the past 3 years and more recently launching a broader production company that produces some of the most dynamic nightlife events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
So after all this verbose praise we feel we have to share his latest mixset outing called 'Dark Side Of The Dub'. Keep your ear to the ground in 2008 (or just watch this space) for his new series of releases on Muti Music including remixes from the likes of Lawgiverz and Dov.

ooo. Nice one.
Is it possible to get the tracks singularly? Or is it only a mixset?
Looks wicked thou.
Just a mixset for now, but the one with Samba will be out on Muti Music later in the year. I'll ask Adam about the mashups, maybe those can be made available.
