Artist Spotlight: Adam Pace

New York–based DJ and producer Adam Pace is a fast-rising name in electronic music, driven by raw energy, discipline, and an unmistakable connection to the dance floor. In just two years behind the decks, Adam has gone from learning the fundamentals to commanding major stages, building an impressive résumé through consistency, work ethic, and relentless momentum.

As a resident DJ for Erock Entertainment, Adam Pace has become a familiar force at high-profile venues across New York City. His performances at HQ2 Nightclub, HQ2 Dayclub, and Times Square Live have placed him in front of massive crowds, including a career-defining moment playing in the heart of Times Square to over 20,000 people. He has also opened for heavyweight artists such as Gordo, Oscar G, and Boris, experiences that further sharpened his presence and confidence on big stages.

From Curiosity to Commitment

Adam’s journey into music began organically. A conversation with a coworker about nightlife and sound sparked a connection that would change everything. That coworker — DJ and mentor Matt “Vosti” Prevosti — introduced Adam to DJing and guided him through the foundations. As his skills developed and paid bookings started rolling in, Adam quickly realised that to truly elevate his career, production was essential.

Seven months ago, he committed fully to creating original music — and the progression has been rapid. His transition from DJ to producer highlights not only talent, but an intense dedication to learning, experimenting, and evolving.

Energy First, Always

Whether Adam is performing, producing, or preparing a set, his creative process begins with one principle: energy and intention.

When crafting DJ sets, he avoids rigid tracklists. Instead, he builds flexible crates that allow him to read the room and react in real time. Flow is key — tempo, groove, and bass must move together to tell a story that keeps the crowd locked in from start to finish. Once on stage, instinct takes over. Crowd energy dictates direction, intensity, and pacing, creating a shared moment between DJ and audience.

In the studio, Adam often starts with a groove or bassline, letting the track grow naturally. As a newer producer, he embraces experimentation and prioritises feel over rules — a mindset that keeps his sound fresh and authentic.

Defining the Sound

Adam Pace’s sound is high-energy, groove-driven, and built for the dance floor. Rooted in tech house and bass-heavy house, his productions feature punchy drums, rolling low-end, and infectious rhythms. Latin-inspired percussion and textures add character and movement, giving his tracks a distinct personality.

This direction is perfectly captured in one of his proudest releases, Papi — a track where everything clicked. The hard-hitting bassline paired with Latin rhythms marked a clear step forward and solidified the sound he’s continuing to build upon.

As a DJ, Adam isn’t afraid to blend underground club energy with big-room impact, or to drop a classic track for a moment of nostalgia. His sets feel like journeys — carefully building tension and releasing it at just the right moments.

Influences, Aspirations, and Growth

Artists like John Summit, Dom Dolla, and Dave Summer serve as benchmarks for Adam — not by shaping his sound directly, but by representing the level he aims to reach. Their success motivates him to refine his craft and continue pushing forward.

Looking ahead, Adam is firmly focused on releases and momentum. Upcoming tracks include Trapped, Latin Kiss, Big Boyz, Digital Nada, and Que Rico, alongside nearly finished records Como and Gone. He’s also collaborating with DJ NYTK on a forthcoming track titled Hold U Close, a project built on creative trust and shared vision.

On the live side, Adam remains deeply embedded in the scene, continuing to bring his sound to stages that allow full expression and connection with the crowd.

Words of Wisdom & Philosophy

Adam’s advice to emerging artists is grounded and honest: stay consistent, stay curious, and trust the process. Practice relentlessly, take risks, protect your integrity, and don’t compromise your sound for the wrong opportunities. Growth takes time — and authenticity always lasts.

For Adam Pace, real music is about feeling and connection. It’s energy you can feel in your body, moments shared on the dance floor, and sounds that leave a lasting imprint. When a crowd is fully immersed — moving together, locked into the moment — that’s real music.

With his trajectory, work ethic, and unmistakable presence, Adam Pace is no longer just one to watch — he’s already arriving.
