Adriatique has for a long time been building a career in electronic music. It’s seen them play in some of the most unique places in the world. These include the Hatshepsut Temple in Luxor, Egypt, and Alpe d’Huez in the Alps, France, but now they can cross the iconic Royal Albert Hall off their list.
I’ve seen several acts at the Royal Albert Hall: St. Vincent, Carmina Burana, and Danny Elfman. However, I had never seen this venue turn into a dionysiac night of electronic music and dancing, and Adriatique achieved just that. They were the first DJs to play from open to close and did not disappoint. Furthermore, they brought out singers, piano, and violin players, as they turned the night into a pure dreamlike scenario. While I was sitting in the chorus area gazing at the sea of dancers, I couldn’t help but think that this looked like a Greek gathering.
Adriatique brought an energy that was maintained throughout the whole night. Ending around midnight, they kept the room engaged, dancing, and in a trance-like state. Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer gave a night of beautifully crafted DJing. This included playing some of their most recognised tracks and remixes, such as their hypnotic remix of ‘On My Knees‘ by RÜFÜS DU SOL.
Every night at the Royal Albert Hall is magic, and this was no exception. It is wonderful to see the evolution of music and how the most prestigious places embrace the modernity of the art form. This allows for such gatherings to exist and that is something to savour.
