Location: Seattle, WA, United States Profile: Vote for ADLIB @ www.thedjlist.com! After attending parties around the northwest US for a year and a half, Devin Kelly (Adlib) felt a strong desire to mix records, make his own music, and give back to the scene/community. In January of 1998 he scored his first set of used Technics free from a radio station. Things could not have possibly worked out better since then. Adlib feels that a DJ is a provider of experiences, but that the experience goes much deeper than anything a DJ alone can offer. For that reason he is opposed to arrogance and vanity in the DJ and rave community. That is how he came about his name. It essentially means "come up with your own definition". In the last seven years, he has managed to get very involved with the underground scene in Boise, Salt Lake City, Frisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle. For how long he's been playing and for where he lives, he's had the rare opportunity to play out of state many times. He's worked and spun with some of the west coast's best underground DJ's; including Jon E Thin, Taj, Damon, Matt McCoy, Moda, Tracer, Dig-Dug, Josh Craig and Beaker, DRC, JZ, CL McSpadden, Tillman, Atomic, Kultcha, Enrie, Dave Epstein, and Greg Sandler. In addition, he's also played with world renowned talent such as Captain Tinrib, Dan, Dano, Max (of Alien Trax), Alice Deejay (yuck), the Head-Hunters, the House-a-Holics, John Kelly, Donald Glaude, Mars & Mystre, Daisy, Christopher Lawrence, Leonard, Joeski, and others. Adlib moved to Seattle Washington in September of 2002. He is now trying to break into the much larger but very contained Seattle scene. He hopes that he will start gaining local recognition with his consistent quality mixtapes and CDs and smaller local bookings. He plays out semi regularly at Tengu, a progressive house night at the En. Throughout these experiences Adlib has developed different levels of appreciation for different types of music, mixing styles, and personalities within the rave and nightclub community. There are those who make the experience worth it and those who detract from it. By working with the promoters, DJ's, and producers he appreciates, adlib feels he is working with and for the community. The experience of a party is largely based on the promoter ability to place sets and the DJ's ability to progress a set. As a promoter and a DJ, Adlib specializes in trying to find the best experience. That is why he tries to be as versatile as possible. He prefers progressive house, deep trance, and tribally music, but he can also mix breaks, progressive breaks, trance, hard trance, tech house, and funky house. Adlib started scratching about three years ago and producing using reason, acid, logic and some outboard gear towards the beginning of 2001. He started in both of these directions as a hobby, but is now incorporating elements of his own music more and more as he plays out. He has also began to fuse political activism with progressive music in party environments. As a promoter, he tries to make his events as informative and immersive as possible. With his crew, People of Earth, he hopes to expand on these ideas and work with promoters and DJ's across the west to create a more sustainable party culture. He would love to play out in as many new communities as possible and return the favor to talented underground DJ's/promoters in his area.
