About the Artist

Detroit-based electronic duo ADULT., consisting of Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller, have been pioneers at the intersection of punk attitude and avant-garde electronic music for over two decades. Their performances are known for a brooding, intense atmosphere layered with distorted synths and pounding beats, evoking a sense of dystopian unease wrapped in danceable rhythms. Fans often recall their commitment to sonic experimentation, such as their unconventional recording of the album "PERCEPTION IS/AS/OF DECEPTION" in a pitch-black cellar, reflecting their conceptual focus on sensory deprivation and perception. Their music channels influences spanning from post-punk to electro-industrial, often with a cerebral and unsettling edge that challenges the listener while compelling movement. Sharing stages with acts like Nitzer Ebb and Gary Numan, ADULT. fuse a cold, mechanical sound with human discomfort in a way that feels both meticulous and raw, as if crafting a soundtrack to urban alienation yet occasionally pulling a sly wink at their own bleak visions.
