STEVE ADAM
Welcome to the website of Edinburgh's leading eighties music evangelist!
Steve Adam in the studio

Hi, I'm Steve Adam, an electronic musician originally from London, now based in Edinburgh.

As well as writing and recording my own music, I have a particular enthusiasm for the ground-breaking electronic music of the late seventies and early eighties and enjoy taking time to recreate some of the songs and sounds associated with that era.

I occasionally gig from time to time, mostly in and around the Edinburgh area, although I've been known to travel further afield. My live set is made up of cover versions from the aforementioned era but unlike your typical tribute act, I make an effort to choose an varied selection of songs and put together interesting and unique interpretations, often with a modern spin, that I hope other fans of the genre will appreciate and enjoy.

An important factor in this is using vintage analogue synthesisers and whilst my collection is nowhere near as esoteric as I would like, I've nevertheless collected a few gems along the way to help me recreate the 'retro' sound. You can check out what I'm currently using over on the studio page.

And while you're here, why not have a go at my 80s spot the intro quiz? A popular feature over the last few years, very few people have got them all right - can you?
