Newcastle City Guide with Elliot Adamson
Charismatic Northern England prodigy Elliot Adamson has been making waves recently with his brilliant releases and out-the-box way of presenting his artistry.
The Newcastle-based 23-year-old has fast become the tastemakersā tastemaker, securing accolades like a Hottest Record, a Kanye-themed Mini Mix, Six Music support and more.
Aptly for the series finale, PiHKALĀ is the most exploratory and experimental of his recent trilogy releases, richly informed by soul, disco, ambient, jazz, ghetto tech, UKG and beyond. Each track is a trip inside Elliotās brain ā you can feel the thought and creativity involved, from old school house chords in āFrantic Felinesā to the vocal-salted āThis Must Be Deepā. āGet Outā pulses with warmth and soul, whereas āWe The Peopleā is a more direct, bass-heavy percussion-led number.
The North East is an incredible and vibrant part of the UK with a passionate music scene and some amazing local haunts, which is why we asked Elliot to give us a personal guide to his hometown of Newcastle.
