A bit about Esteban Adame:
Esteban Adame started his musical career at age 15, Dj’ing at local house parties in and around Los Angeles. He would soon be introduced tounderground dance parties were he was exposed to the House and Techno
sounds that that were heard. Like most bedroom DJs, Esteban built his home studio and tried his hand at producing. Having a healthy record collection, Esteban was inspired by the keyboard solos that he heard on those records. These soloists inspired him so much to want to play the keyboard that at the age of 19 he took a hiatus from DJ’ing and producing to study the Piano formally.
In 2004, Esteban was invited by Mad Mike of Underground Resistance to participate (as a Keyboardist), in his then new project, Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Los Hermanos. After a brief apprenticeship with Banks, Esteban returned to production again. Through this venture with UR Esteban began working with hometown colleague and G2G band mate Santiago Salazar. And it was through this that ICAN Productions was born.
ICAN, which is short for MexICAN, is a creative outlet for Santiago and Esteban. ICAN’s first release, oddly enough was not through UR but through Planet E. Since then ICAN has had 2 releases on Planet E and 6 on ICAN Productions.
Recently Esteban has collaborated with long time colleague D.j. Dex, a.k.a Nomadico, from UR in a project simply called EL Coyote. This project debuted its first single on ICAN entitled Ezfuerzo and has a full length E.P. soon to be released on ICAN.
Esteban continues to DJ, produce, play keyboards and any combination of the above. He has also remixed for various artists and has several remixes to his credit. He has appeared as a guest performer/DJ all over the globe in such venues as, The Edge in Sao Paulo, Fabric in London, The Cabaret Savage in Paris, The Loft in Barcelona, and Berghain in Berlin to name a few.
The future is looking bright with many more projects on the horizon for Esteban. Be on the look out for more music bearing the name Esteban Adame, ICAN, or El Coyote in the near future.
