Rising house music maverick Adam Ten links up with ethereal R&B star Rhye to officially release ‘3 Days Later’” The new single, which expands the scope of Adam’s distinct sound, is out now via Higher Ground.
Originally writing the track (which serves as a reimagination of Rhye’s ‘3 Days,’ off his seminal 2013 debut album Woman) as an edit to play at his Burning Man sets last year, Adam was frequently called upon by fans to find a way to release it. After getting Rhye on board, who enthusiastically approved of the new version, the track was cleared just in time for this year’s edition of Burning Man. The track returned to the playa as beloved as ever.
“I made this edit around one year ago for my morning set at Robot Heart art car in Burning Man. I loved how the original makes you feel something deep. I remember the first time I heard it, and it brought tears to my eyes. I went to the studio on a mission to catch that feeling and transcend it to the dancefloor, to make people feel connected to themselves and their loved ones. The feedback has been amazing and people are always asking for it. We reached out to Rhye, and he loved it and approved the sample, so I’m very excited that ‘3 Days Later’ as we called it, is finally being officially released on Higher Ground!” – Adam Ten
‘3 Days Later’ is the latest milestone of a massive 2024 for Adam Ten, who has become one of the hottest names in house music thanks to his particularly unique psychedelic take on the genre. On top of debuting at Coachella (right before RÜFÜS DU SOL at the new Quasar Stage) and sharing his first Essential Mix for Pete Tong earlier this year, Adam has garnered cosigns from dance music titans like Solomun, Black Coffee, and Damian Lazarus while playing coveted slots at EDC, Burning Man, and Circoloco.
Built upon a close-knit culture of supporting one another, Tel Aviv’s dance music scene has seen a recent boom of up-and-coming artists led by Adam Ten and his label Maccabi House. His playful and sometimes wonky sound is rooted in the regional staple genre of his hometown of Tel Aviv’s psytrance and a departure from the sounds of traditional reigning tech house genres. He skillfully winds down the often rapid tempos of psytrance while keeping its buzzing synths and warping basslines. ‘3 Days Later’ sees Adam branching out on the more melodic side of his sound, with shades of potential pop sensibilities.
