Re:Creation, Peak, half of Ephexis and one of the bossmen of Psychoactive Records: Adam Goodlet
Tell us about yourself as an artist and about your style?
I’m a bit of a geek, and I think a lot of my artistic drive comes from pushing the tech I have access to to its limits and finding new ways to create a crazy experience. The visual element of the Re:Creation live show comes from an attempt to bring the visionary world of psychedelics, quantum physics and the universe in general to life. Musically, I come from a heavy/thrash metal background, but I totally fell in love with the intricacy, emotion and impact that electronic music can have. You have so much control over the sound - the potential blows me away.
