The 116th release on Adaptation Music sees the combination of two of the label’s top in-house artists, Tom Conrad & Yan Gordo who deliver a fusion of deep house, deep tech, progressive house and the Balearic sound in the form of ‘Balearic Skies’ which is remixed by the brilliant Forteba, who we are very proud to finally have on the label.
One of Tom’s favourite producers of the last decade, Forteba, produces a sublime atmospheric and hypnotic deep house rework in his signature style with a classy bass line which builds throughout and leaves you wanting more. Certainly not one to miss! Tom & Yan’s original version is a sophisticated peak time multi layered fusion of atmospheric pads, chords, bass lines with a cross genre appeal from anyone into deep house, progressive house, deep tech and believe it or not both mixes would also work in a laidback Cafe Del Mar-esque setting.
Hungarian producer Forteba has been producing a mix of dreamy and driving German inspired deep house music since his late teenage years and has been a mainstay on the likes of the mighty Plastic City and numerous other labels, whilst also recording under various other aliases in different genres in his own right and alongside his close producer friends.

Adaptation Music’s landmark 100th release is nothing short of epic with music from Roland Nights, Bernard Badie, Finest Wear, Lucas Keizer, Feint Young Son and Gruv Basement. There should be something for everyone here, with deep, jackin, soulful and classic house sounds on offer.
After joining us for our 50th release, Roland Nights is back for our landmark 100th with another deep jackin house cut of Tom Conrad & Mr V’s ‘Sign of the Times’, with an infectious bassline and killer strings. With several Traxsource #1 singles to his name, Roland Nights has been producing music for numerous labels such as Large Music, PIV Records, King Street & Lost My Dog over the last decade.
Denver based DJ and producer Lucas Keizer has reworked the D-Reflection and Christa’s ‘Make Believe’ and what a fantastic remix it is. With all the elegance and beauty of the original, Lucas reworks it into a classy deep house cut. Having been on labels such as Large Music, Salted, PIV Records, Guesthouse and Tango, Lucas’ music is widely supported throughout the scene from the likes of Mark Farina, John Digweed, Dubfire and DJ Dan.
London based Finest Wear provides an old school deep house remix of Tom Conrad and Dawn Tallman’s ‘So Happy’ which was one of Adaptation Music’s early releases. Finest Wear will no doubt be a very familiar name to fans of deep house and his classic sound can usually be found on Large Music and Nordic Trax.
If you’re a fan of the Murk Records, Danny Tenaglia or Twilo sound from yesteryear, then Bernard Badie ‘Bones’ will be right up your street. The bluesy main vocal from Muphan and backing vocals from Dajae and Olandus sit on top of a dark driven late night vibe with a classic sound. Raised in Chicago and now residing in Atlanta, Bernard’s been releasing music since 1991 under various monikers alongside Larry Heard and various vocalists including the legendary Dajae on labels such as Defected, Cajual, Mojuba and more.
Feint Young Son is the new alias of one half of Studioheist, who does a stellar peak time deep jackin house remix of Yan Gordo’s ‘Take It Easy’ which is sure to be a hit with any discerning DJ. Manchester duo Studioheist will also be a familiar name to deep house fans with most of their music being found on Large Music along with the likes of King Street, Papa Records and Moulton Music.
Gruv Basement return to the label with a beautiful soulful rework of Sueno Soul and Denzie’s ‘What You Want’. The soulful scene isn’t often ventured into by Adaptation Music these days but we had to make an exception for the excellent Gruv Basement, whose jazz and soul infused sound is equal to that of the Chicago soulful house sound, by artists such as Glenn Underground.

NEW RELEASE – Tom Conrad ‘The 12am Groove’ (inc. Soledrifter mixes)
https://soundcloud.com/adaptationmusic/sets/tom-conrad-the-12am-groove
#1 Essential Jackin Track on Traxsource!!! Also features in the Hype Chart and Weekend Weapons and is officially a Traxsource Top 10 download already!
Supported by Inland Knights and more!
“Wow this is a smoking release. Original is so hot!! Love all the other remixes too. Full Support”
THE BRIA PROJECT (VIBE BOUTIQUE)
“Utterly infectious and uplifting slice of disco-house goodness”
SPIRIT OF HOUSE (HOUSE MUSIC WEBSITE)
“Really like this feel, reminds me of the crydamoure days, full support on this. Solid!”
DISTANT PEOPLE (TONY RECORDS/ GRIN MUSIC / PENG MUSIC)
Adaptation Music welcomes back Tom Conrad to the label as he continues his ever growing number of consistent productions and remixes in recent times with the sublime jackin dancefloor gem ‘The 12am Groove’ with two fine remixes from Soledrifter.
The original version is a quality slice of classic filtered uplifting jackin house, tailor made for any feel good dancefloor scenario. Tom’s long love affair with jackin house is finally captured in the studio with this being his first solo jackin house track and hopefully not the last. The first of Soledrifter’s great remixes is a brilliant energy packed Daft Punk-esque rework, reminiscent of the classic filtered French house sound of the late 90s. The second of Soledrifter’s mixes is a classy take on the original, with maybe less energy but still very much oozing with quality.
