muzikxpress For sure, cause I was 14 years old in the summer of 1990! This track was a huge hit and got a lot of airplay on the radio. Great interview, and after all those years I now know where the tracktitle came from ;-)
Being born in 1981 I can honestly say this was the tune that got me in to dance music. I don't know why but hearing this now just reminds me of Italia 90.
What a lovely real interview. I know Adamski isn't going to be interviewed by Fallon or Norton but I love the coffee, the trains above, the pink beard and the easy going Adamski talking about his history.

Killer had a huge impact on me ,I was 16 when I heard it and I couldn’t stop listening to it,it sounded like nothing else and still sounds unique and fresh. I went out and bought liveandirect which I still love then doctor adamski came out.

Another great interview! Killer is a classic Old Skool rave/dance anthem. Because it's been covered so many times, it is a testament to how good the track is; I still can't believe it the track was made just by messing around on the keyboard!

Adamski is a producer’s producer. He knows how to program synths/samplers/etc insanely well. This dude should be more well known than Mike Dean or any other producer using basicass patches.

Glad you enjoyed this one! Big fan of "Killer", so I was very happy that Adamski took the time to talk with me about this massive classic, what a track! And he's such a nice and humble guy!

Love it! I remember over hearing a conversation between Jill Sinclair and Adam in the ZTT canteen back in the day. Jill was trying to get him to do a follow up.

Really well thats cool dude..yet I actually toured with them on the UK..and just got off the phone with my brother Chester....might you not believe me ask him Adam whether he knows Kieron ..😏
Thanks for doing this interview Twan. Looking back I can safely say this was the tune that got me in to dance music. Still in to Prog and Trance to this day.
And here we go again. Great interview of this great track. So seal started here. Interesting how things come together. ATB was the DJ that introduced this track to me. Still a top favorite from my early Trance years. I’m guessing he doesn’t like Techno or Trance. 😂😂😂😂 Thanks Twan. I’m learning more with these videos more than I ever did reading longgggg music reviews or blogs.
Thanks a lot! And I think he does like a lot of genres, I didn't really ask him, but if you check his Mixcloud page, you can hear several of his sets there. And I love the version of "Killer" with Seal, such an epic track!
muzikxpress ok will do. Just had this impression he didn’t. Maybe it was that early stuff he got annoyed with. Keep it up bro. You are Getting better at this.
this man is pure legend my cousin brought me his first Cd Live and direct all away from England and I still have it. I have Killer remix on vinyl where is also a remix from Bassline changed my life I have also a Killer remix from Seal on vinyl He has newer track called I like it and as a Adam Sky Ape X and a lot of other productions. One of the not so known his tracks is Sleeping with an angel with Transformer 2,I have it on vinyl too .
Great interview and some interesting insights on this classic song. One of my all time favourite songs, this is one of those rare songs that doesn't need a cover or a remix, the song is just flawless, perfect in my opinion from start to finish. The production, Seal's voice, the video, absolutely everything is perfection. I would never imagine being at the Hacienda and listening this for the first time, those people there were lucky, they were witnessing history in the making.
Interesting to hear Adamski muse upon the possible influences for his "Killer" bassline. I always hear similarities with the bassline from "Trans-X - Living On Video," which debuted out in the early-to-mid 80s, just a few years before Killer came out. Similar to how the "Black Box - Ride On Time" bassline is also very similar in structure and rhythm to the bassline on "Theme from S-Express."

Well it certainly was a Killer Track, one of the best ever, the instrumental original is perfect anyway, with Seal on vocals with it to its just Amazing. Its the first track on my first tape of 16 C90s all full from 1990 to early 1991 recorded from Club Music on Astra Satellite so couldn't start with better song, huge thankyou to him, tested and setup the sound system in my car when i installed the 10 inch bass in rear shelf Killer, sounded amazing
I remember the late of 90's when I heard the first time the song Killer performed by ATB. I thought then that Andre Tanneberger is the producer of this song. I did not have access to the Internet at that time and I found out a few years later that it was cover remix from the early 90s song.
I like doing compilations for myself. Even now (2020) when you sandwich this track (with just the baseline) between two other tracks of other artists/producers (regardless of what genre really) - it has this kindof psychological effect on the listener (or is it - the feeler?) being slapped into consciousness - being made to pay closer attention. It's like up to that point - you realize that you were just half-listening, grooving along to a set of tunes and now the real deal just crashed the party. Then all the spacey digital sounds start taking you some where digitally darker. And when seal's voice comes on (combined with an actual message) you're done! The feel and message of this track would've made it perfect with the end credits going up on screen for the first Arnold Schwarzenegger "Terminator" movie. - no matter how much money it made, it would've made so much more with it included!!!
"I would like to win a signed 'Killer' vinyl because a) I don't have the 12" version (only the 7") and b) I'll be lonely without it and that's the killer."
So the percussion was kind of random. How great is that! He just plugged in the MIDI cable from his drumcomputer into his keyboard and the notes produced these random sounds. That's a great anecdote. B.T.W. If you have forgotten how great this track worked in the club, the live piece you put in the beginning remembers you very quickly. Cheers, Robert
Good interview never knew he did the piano for better days legendary grooves as I’m Congress, piano better days still works today, and must have used every acapella over it thank for the music brother
First time I've seen this interview and I can't help it asking myself why he and Moby (truly love the early music they made) never worked together? Thinking the both of them are pretty similar artists
@@muzikxpress the interview mentions that drum sound effects as such came from midi notes on drum channel or something and that included dog sounds. I seem to recall an interview with Adamski soon after the release of Killer that the dog sounds were of his pet dog which was a Jack Russell type which I think hes pictured with on the album cover. Im not even sure that a drum kit on a drum machine would include dog barks...not saying I am right...just giving an alternate view
didn't really like it at the time - too commercial ( not underground dance of the time ) but listening to it with nostalgia ears .. i like it , it is kind of iconic of the time branching underground with chart music
Too commercial at that time? I think it was an amazing and refreshing track, totally different compared to what was out there at that moment. But indeed, iconic for sure ;-)
She doesn't really live close to where I live, but who knows, one day ;-) BTW, I usually try to interview people about original tracks, not about covers ;-)
@@Twansparant Marusha was the face of the act, so (from what I heard from my sources) I'm afraid she won't be able to tell much about the production etc. And second, she lives in Berlin, which is like a 7 hour drive from where I live ;-) I don't have a travel budget for my vlogs since this is "just" a hobby for me. Because of COVID lots of my plans got cancelled. I wrote a long post in the "community" secion on my RU-vid channel earlier this month with more info about what you can expect and what not. Hope you understand! :)
@@muzikxpress really? I didn’t realize that... she did dj at the loveparade around that time right? Anyway, I totally understand and I have read your statement. No rush, I’ve still got plenty of episodes to watch, no worries :) Succes met alles!
I have listened to the interview .Nothing is said about MCA it was because Seal was not credited on the single ..Seal signed to ZTT and lived at the owners home for 2 Years And recorded his solo album .. ADAMSKI was a pioneer but your interview doesnt discuss any of the fall out with SEAL 😢😢
I spent a lot of time in his company 25 yrs ago, and I've never heard him talk so much as in this interview - lovely to see him still jazzed and at it!
Really interesting interview with a dance music legend. Killer is just the tip of the iceberg - he's had in his hand in loads of great tunes. Would love to hear him DJ.

Wow I never knew Adamski played the piano on Better Days. An early piano house classic. It was sampled by Congress for 40 Miles, that got pretty high in the charts in 1991.
First heard the instrumental version back in 1989 at SIN The Astoria with Daddy Chester MCing its the best version All Day Long it went down a storm and was a Club/Rave anthem before the commercial Seal version.

I would like to win a signed "killer" vinyl because...Adamski is one of my top all time DJ inspirations (his music made me start up my own DJ journey) and Killer was one of the tracks played (almost non stop) by friends & I over the summer i left school (1990). Such good times. Please please let me win this haha. :)
