“I was in Amsterdam for ADE and I was doing some shows there with W Hotels. I think Sebastian (Lu- xury Culture & Entertainment Marketing Lead for Don Julio) was already thinking about building some connection here in Verbier with other places or the local team. We sat down and thought about what we could do.”
Nova emphasized the importance of the venue selection, noting that it added an extra layer of charm to the event. While discussing the lineup, he expressed excitement about sharing the stage with renowned artists like Purple Disco Machine. His familiarity with PDM´s work and their shared musical style made the collaboration particularly enjoyable and rewarding.
“We decided that Purple Disco Machine was the way to go. It was super, super good because he fits my style. I met with Tino in the past and we worked together here in W Verbier as well so it was great to see that he would come and dance with us.”
“We had a little chat with him (Tino), and I told him how much I appreciate what he’s doing for
“I liked the dinner with all of you guys. It was a good moment to get introduced to each other
the music industry. His work is wonderful.” We shared some food and drinks before the show
and of course the amazing food and drinks, I was curious to try everything hahaha.”
Adam´s creative process is driven by a passion for music and a constant pursuit of innovation. Nova spends hours exploring music online. His dedication to discovering fresh sounds and remixes ensures that his performances remain dynamic and enga- ging for his audience. He also acknowledged the influence of platforms like Spotify and the role they play in shaping his sets.
“I’m normally surfing on the Internet looking for the next best thing you know? Just check the new relea- ses, promos, and everything. I spend hours digging for music. I’m also checking the Spotify playlists of the top 50s or whatever by countries and I’m always wondering what I can put into my sets from that.”
With that on his mind, Nova also acknowledges that PDM has been essential for the growth of electronic music for so many people.
“Without him, there would be much fewer choices within the genre. He’s essential on my sets and his music adds a lot to the industry. He brings back the older vibes with his sound and the soul of the music I miss from older generations with a super fresh twist to it.”
One aspect that sets Adam Nova apart is his ability to incorporate diverse influences into his sets, including Mexican vibes.
By infusing tracks with trumpets and other instru- ments reminiscent of Mexican culture, Nova adds a unique flavor to the event.
