Both Italian, both vinyl. The similarities end there, however. Adiel spent years in classical ballet before techno lured her to Goa Club, where she practiced alone until she was ready to face a crowd. That patience lives in her sets, long arcs that build before hammering down fiercely. Quest’s path went through London’s Vinyl Pimp and Berlin’s underground, developing a taste for the obscure and the unsettling. His label is named after the Devil’s Interval, the tritone, a combination of notes the church once banned for sounding too evil.

In music theory, the tritone creates tension that needs to resolve. Adiel is the resolution. Two Italians who took very different roads now converge at NEOPOP.

The devil is in the detail.
