Ada

Her legendary live shows took her once around the world and back again before her first album „Blondie“ was featured in the top 10 of New York Times‘
best pop albums of 2004. From De:Bug to The New York Times, the cultural press was over the moon. It would take another six years until her next album – six years filled with dreamlike collaborations and remixes, including Grand Canyon for Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl (featured on her acclaimed mix CD Adaptations – Mixtape #1 on Kompakt), and Rebel Boy for Tocotronic.

Her second album “Meine zarten Pfoten” was released on DJ Koze’s label Pampa Records in 2011. Hamburg concert hall tycoon and bestselling author Tino Hanekamp writes: “In the broadest sense of the word, it’s pop. But ultimately it’s music that exudes so much warmth and tranquillity that it puts even the greatest bundle of nerves into a state of ultra-fine-tuned receptiveness.”

2025 marks a new high point in Ada’s career with the release of Unbelievable, a hypnotic collaboration with DJ Koze for his outstanding album „Music Can Hear Us“ that once again shows her effortless ability to balance pop appeal with experimental club culture. Her DJ sets reflect the same musical sensibility as her productions: playful, profound, and emotionally resonant.

Ada remains a rare phenomenon – fiercely individual, timeless in spirit, and always open to new directions: in the studio, on stage, or behind the decks.
