biography:
As a teenager addam entered the nightclub and sound industry, performing as a drummer in NJ/NYC area glam and gothic rock bands. He began his professional DJ career in 1995 with New England's largest mobile event production company. After quickly mastering the dancefloor arts and beatmixing techniques, 'DJ addambombb' was recognized with numerous awards as the top of his profession. He performed at over 1000 club and mobile events before leaving the confines of the group in Y2K to pursue an independent clientele, a career in nightclub and concert events, and his own musical and visual arts endeavours.
DJ addambombb blends the retroactive with the cutting edge, at the same time both eclectic and familiar. While consistently maintaining a technical and aesthetic flow of rhythm and energy, his sets are explorations of sound and style... and dance. His creativity, musical knowledge, and diversity assure a unique experience at every appearance. DJ addambombb has performed at too many venues to list, from backyards to the Wang Center for the Performing Arts. He maintains a weekly residency at Haven, New England's largest independent weekly dark culture event. Additionally, he has performed on tour in dozens of cities internationally, and has produced many special events within the New England alternative music and dance culture.
In addition to dj’ing, addam is regularly involved with live music events, art exhibitions, club promotions, fashion shows, original music and remix projects, and other creative collaborations. His original photographs have been widely exhibited in the Northeast at many nightclubs, art events, and galleries, as well as featured on numerous fine art sites and in local press. Currently addam is working with producer Owen Tate to complete the single "Could It Be", scheduled for release on Boy Ball Records in June '06.

Ȃ DJ Coppertop, representing Tonedeaf Records/ promoter of 'Hard', Indianapolis:
"DJ addambombb is certainly one of the best mixing EBM/Synthcore DJ's in this country. You will not stop dancing to his sets."
Ȃ Damian Plague, Plague Productions/ promoter & dj of QXT's, Newark:
"out of all the guest DJ's I have had at QXT's in the last 6 years... addam was the best . NO SHIT!”

"...I couldn't get my ass off the dance floor even if I tried."
