ADRIANNA welcomes us into her temple of house music

ADRIANNA is a graduate of the reknowned Toolroom Academy, owner of her own label – Temple House Music – and a true rising star of  house and techno.

She brings a sound to the table characterised by blending vocals with tough, club-ready beats. In addition to her own label she has releases on tastemaker labels, DJ S.K.T’s Stashed Music and Casa Rossa.

This summer is also shaping up nicely for ADRIANNA through her DJ performances and Temple House Music stages/events which are being held throughout the UK and Europe.

Her next single, Got The Night, lands on Temple House Music next month and as we wait, we asked ADRIANNA to talk us through a playlist of current favourites including her latest single Falling.

Listen to it, and read what she had to say about all the music below.

ADRIANNA – Falling

This one has been a lot of fun to play out and gone down well. Originally it was just the male vocal but after testing it out, I went back and added the female and it really took the track to a new place. It’s got a Latin feel with a lot of percussion and energy.

Raumakustik, Juliet Sikora – Love Shake

I’m a big fan of both these artists, it’s out on Toolroom Trax. This has such a cool vocal and rolling bass. It’s got a great groove.

Friend Within – Pilka

This is such a fun track and really brightens the mood of any set. I love the synths and bass line, it’s bouncy and perfect for summer especially.

ADRIANNA – Confidence

My first release earlier in 2023 which is out on S.K.T’s label Stashed. It’s a grooving, cool, hypnotic track. Big tech house builds ups and snare rolls with a pitched vocal that stands out and makes it unique.

HI LO – BRAZIL

I chose this track, but it could be anything that HI-LO is putting out. I’m playing so much of his work right now and they always go down well. The melody is dreamy and the arrangement’s always perfect. This one feels like Carnival.

Andrew Meller – Born Slippy (Luca Morris Extended Remix)

I first fell in love with this song from the classic Trainspotting soundtrack (one of my favourite soundtracks of all time). This remix sits perfectly for me with its heavy techno kick. Out on Glasgow Underground now, a label who are constantly putting out incredible music.

Charlotte de Witte – High Street

Such a great tune, I’m big into vocals and love this spoken word/rap style over the techno. The tone/lyrics, sit so well. It has many classic element but yet it feels so fresh. Still get chills with this one.

BK – Day Break

This song has so much energy and that true rave sound, it’s a massive hit when the crowd is getting revved up and want to go to that next level. It’s 140 bpm which is a higher tempo than a lot of the tracks I tend to play at the moment, but it still really sits well in my sets.

Reincarnated featuring Eva Wox – Rodez (Mehmet Ozbek Remix)

So many things I love about this, the whole mood, synth, hats, bass, arrangement… but the vocal is genius. Great delivery, creative and subtle writing, so clever.

Jerimatt – What Is What

This is a big one for me and gets played a lot. There have been many renditions of this sample, but this production really captures the mood of when I first fell in love with it. Dark, heavy, warehouse, raving. 10/10.
