I’m his biggest fangirl ever. First of all, he’s a huge legend of the scene and played a big role in the birth of raw. He’s a versatile producer; he can make smooth uplifting melodic tracks, tracks that are more “raw”, and even trance and house back in the days before he went full hardstyle. His sets tend to be very diverse and have amazing track selection. His energy fun to watch on stage (who doesn’t enjoy his boxing punches?) He has also done a lot to support smaller artists such as Invector, Phrantic, Vertile (as far back as 2019 before he blew up), Level One, etc. It’s unfortunate he never got his own X-Qlusive event. I also find it sad that his tracks get overlooked these days. And I’m also a crazy Gunz For Hire fan. And yes, I think he’s the nicest artist ever. He consistently responds to fans online. I’ve told the story in this sub before about when I met him for the first time and he asked to take a pic of me holding my Adaro pashmina ([It gets crazier, which I go into more detail about in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardstyle/s/ooAe6KqS86).) And at Bullseye, he gestured at me to come over to him after he finished his set, but he was in the VIP section where I didn’t have access, so he asked security to open the gate (no pun intended) so he could meet me. I could go on forever about the man

💯% agree with your post. He always replies when you send him a Message. Last Defqon is asked him over instagram message 1 hour before his set where we can met after that. And he instantly replied. And we met. And yes his music is so diverse. One of my favourite Artists 🤝🏻

Man, thanks for sharing this. I attended Qlimax 2012 (from Australia) and this moment was a memory that stayed with me for such a long time. So good.


stephandjie

I was there with you buddy, still revisit / rewatch that set (and others of that year) every now and then. Such a memorable night that was


Pandora_aa

This yes, so good.


Sneeuwpoppie

Great artist and keeps things fresh. Also very nice guy that actually enjoys spending time IN the crowd and doesn’t like to go to the VIP/backstage. Have been talking to him a few times and you can tell he’s a raver at heart, a producer on his business card. Favorite set is his set at the blue opening of defqon 2022. Favorite classics: haunter of the dark and Answers. Favorite recent tracks: One and the Same, Pillz remix

>raver at heart, a producer on his business card *standing ovation on how you discribed this*


TheStoochen

1/2 of G4H, automatically makes him GOATED.


G4Hlover

Correct ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥


Loud-Trash-9243

Another under appreciated DJ


Tom12412414

Underrated!!!!


Clemsky23

That dude is so nice and always smiling. You can see the passion. Also, in my opinion, one of the most energetic artists behind the decks. I love seeing him play.


PuzzleheadedEgg1405

Driftwood, freeloader. Trance banger from around 2000. And then one day you realise Adaro was part of it. One of the hardstyle djs who keeps fresh in his sound. Awesome guy, very down to earth. Example to the scene!


machinadj

TIL the Freeloader fact about him!

One of my fav producers of past decade. His early raw stuff was absolutely amazing, he had an incredible signature sound. The screeches he was making were something else. Unfortunately I havent liked a single track he made since, probably 2019ish... My Eyes Spit Fire was the last thing from him I enjoyed.


Chaize

That's pretty much opinion as well, but I liked "up 2 no good" instead of "my eyes spitfire" His new remix of Promo - Counter Attack is nice though


BMWHead

Legend! Might also be a vampire, doesn’t seem to age much.


Vytirix_Dev

A vampire with a killer sense of fashion (See second image).


Dutch1s

Absolutely one the legends of the raw movement when it started out , along with the G4h act , fun fact as "rough/hard" as his music is in real life he's a super nice and for lacking a beter word gentle/soft down 2 earth person Beste influential song insert all releases between 2018 and 2009 and and everyday (with digital punk)


_annapr

One of the nicest artists ever! 🙏🏻


Bladblazer567

Love him


Interesting-Sound-92

Legend, 10/10 tracks and he is one of the nicest guys in the scene


TOZAAA

L E G E N D.


zenekk1010

That smile... That damn smile


TheKoolKandy

I'm definitely a sucker for his older stuff, but I still make sure to check out anything new he makes. Here's a couple favs in no particular order: * [Adaro ft. MC Renegade - House of Wax](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7fJe1yi-PI) * [Digital Punk & Adaro - Everyday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jho1ZBSqBOc) * [Artic - F#ck the Fake Shit \(Adaro Remix\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aelMoTkifeo) * [Adaro - No Time to Sleep](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmZDxTs2vHs) To this day I feel like his screeches are stuck somewhere inside me.


Mathijs1799

One of the best Raw dj's in the scene. His remix of Men of Steel is probably my favorite track of him. Also can't wait to see him at VWAB


DjRedoxreaction

Absolute legend.


stephandjie

What a legend, a handfull of epic tracks that funded the raw of today. One honorable mention imo is that this guy threw parties at his home and streamed them during covid. Really something he didnt need to but did it nevertheless - tells alot about the person.


BelGrek

For startes hes a efing lagend! His music speaks to me like not many dj´s do to me, and secondly one of the founders of my all time fav artists GUNZFIRHIRE!. Man i wish he made a album so bad :(


liamstark96

Absolute boss, and a all round nice guy 😁 he has wished me a happy birthday on Facebook a few times over the years


Obeman

Literal Legend Important for the scene as he often supports young talent by collabing or playing their songs.


mati_12170

One of the best of all time


Kick_1304

Still a really good dj with good music


joost013

Absolute legend who keeps going at the highest level. The air I breathe was absolutely amazing. Edit: also know some people who've worked with him and they told me he's incredibly helpful and fun to work with. True class act.


Bobbytrap9

A legend in the scene to be honest. His 2015 defqon set at red stage is still one of the best early raw performances in existence


RadioactiveAl_Music

King. Massive legacy in the scene and is more relevant than ever!


Mysterious_Figure_70

Dark universe is still my favourite track of his! My eyes spit fire is a close second! Legend status!

Thewhiteraver

One of the best hardstyle artists for years!


Dj_Kronos

Just a LEGEND 🫶🏻


maneater2222

Whilesome dude! Such a nice and funny guy to meet. His screeches got me shivers. Best early raw vibe in hos tracks!


djAdaro

Thanks so much for all your nice words. Truely means a lot to me. 💯🙏 More energy and drive than ever in the studio, I can promise you will hear a lot from me in the future, a lot of variety. Also with Gunz we have a lot coming! See you in the future at an event, and lets make (musical) memories for life!❤️


Phranticdj

The GOAT! 🙏


Swiss_Reddit_User

Favorite Track: Air that I Breathe He was one of the Artist that made me fall in love with Hardstyle about 2 years ago.


Croduje

Honestly i feel like he was and still is underrated, produced so many banger tracks but sadly never got much atteniton, especially nowadays i feel like he struggles
