Thorsten Adler started experimenting in electronic dance music and landed instant clubhits with their several projects like
Microbots or
Psycho Drums. The breakthrough came in 1992 with
Arpeggiators when they got signed by
Harthouse, the young label of techno guru
Sven Väth. In 1995 Tom & Thorsten founded their project
AWeX and had big success with the tracks "It’s Our Future" and "Back On Plastic", which both entered the german sales charts and several international DJ charts! Since then Tom, in corporation with various friends, produced one record after the other, worked at a number of labels as A&R and consequently followed his path becoming one of the most popular festival and club DJ. In 1994 he found his own record label called
Phuture Wax.
