Mix of the day: Adeline Supreme’s summery tech house

When producer, songwriter and DJ Adeline Supreme finished third in Next Generation DJ challenge this spring, the jury praised her “exquisite taste and impeccable musical talent”.

This boxfresh mix is one of our favourites so far in the We Love…Space competition, and testament to the same. It features Adeline’s spanking new track Would You and a bunch of other summery bits of percussive, vocal, techy house from acts like Ost & Kjex and Marek Hemann & Fabian Reichelt. Nice one.

Adeline Supreme is a multi-talented DJ, producer and singer/songwriter. Wait, add radio host too, as she’s currentlu running the Swedish national radio’s dance music show P3 Dans with her DJ partner La Fleur – whom she also forms DJ and production duo Housewives with. To top things off, Adeline’s slick, techy house mix won the ears of the NGDJ jury, which rewarded her NGDJ’s third place.

The jury’s verdict: “Channelling the freshest tech house sounds available, this Swedish/Argentinian DJ and singer/songwriter won the jury’s hearts with a slick, stripped-down mix showcasing both exquisite taste and, in her self-penned tracks, impeccable musical talent”.

We caught up with Adeline Supreme for a quick chat.

Hey Adeline, congratulations on the third spot in NGDJ!
– I’m indeed very happy for that! It was really overwhelming seeing myself take a place on the podium and I was very touched by the jury’s reasons for choosing me. To me, that was winning!

What did you make your priorities when reading what the jury was looking for?
– I just figured that I needed to present myself in as good way as possible in those 30 minutes. For me there was no option of moving away from my own sound just to fit into the competition, because for me the biggest sounds are always individual anyway. That’s why I decided to keep my line and try to stand out as much as possible to meet the competition that way.

Has NGDJ in some way affected or tested the way you see yourself as a DJ?
– Actually it has, presenting myself in such a short mix is not as easy as you would think, because whether playing a gig, broadcasting a radio show or whathever I do there is usually a bit more time and space than that available. So, presenting myself in as short and neat way as possible got me to really evaluate what professional qualities I have as a DJ, artist and brand. And self evaluation is always important. That’s what brings you a step further and keeps you growing!

Can we expect more production work from you up ahead?
– eah, I have some material coming up in the near future. As I’m in discussion with a few labels at the moment the aim is to have the next tracks, or the tropical summer hits, as I refer to them, out by the summer, suitably enough! And, it’s definitely not sounding like anything else out there.

What do you see ahead for your own DJ:ing at this point?
– Well, the plan is basically to finish the new material, get it out there and to keep the dance floors on fire! But more than that I’m hosting a new club night in Stockholm this spring and summer, and as I’m relocating to London in the very near future, I’ll be doing some interesting stuff there as well. Sign up for my newsletter to stay updated, lots of stuff to come.
– Also, thanks for having me on here, looking forward to updating you on what happens from here!
