Adam Pits Explores the Psychedelic Pulse of His 'Taurus' EP

London-born DJ/producer and label head Adam Pits has carved out a singular space in modern electronic music – blending rich melodies, trippy textures, and emotional depth into a sound that sits somewhere between progressive house, trance, and techno.

A classically trained musician with a deep love for the dance floor, he’s mastered the art of making tunes that hit both the body and the mind. His latest release, the Taurus EP – the third outing on his own murmurs label – is a hazy, psychedelic trip full of color, movement, and introspection. Written during a time of self-doubt and rediscovery, it channels both melancholy and euphoria in equal measure. 

We caught up with Adam to chat about the inspirations behind Taurus, what drives his new label, and how he’s looking to evolve as an artist heading into 2026.

Hey Adam, thanks for joining us! How was your summer of 2025? Are there any highlights you'd like to share with us?

I actually had a really chill summer in regards to music, as I only had a few gigs this year, but the one that stands out to me was probably Mumush Festival in Romania. A small community-run festival in the heart of Transylvania, with wonderful people, unreal sound, and close attention to the details that matter.

Your new Taurus EP is a potent and playful tapestry of prog-inspired electronics, lush and absolutely lovely. What emotions or personal experiences were you channeling when creating this body of work?

I was trying to find the right balance of melancholy, as I want people to be able to dance, but also to look deeper inside themselves when they hear my music. I'm enjoying the incremental changes over long periods of time in the modern techno sound, and I'm wanting to convey this psychedelic technique more and more in my music.

Are there any cuts from the EP that hold a more significant place in your heart over the others?

The title-track "Taurus" was written during a period of internal conflict for me. I felt quite lost with my musical identity due to multiple factors and I feel like this track reflects the deep sense of yearning I was feeling as I was finding myself again. It's nice to be able to reflect and notice the turning moments on these life-long artistic journeys.

You launched your murmurs imprint earlier this year with the Sonic Iterations V/A – tell us about what spurred the project on and the choice behind its name, its overall sound/aesthetic, and the choice to launch this new label alongside your On.Rotation imprint?

The VA was a reflection of my overwhelming excitement for the talent that is dotted around the world currently and I think the compilation really hones in on the HD essence that is characteristic of the current modern techno sound. 

I guess murmurs became a chance for me to showcase my particular taste in dance music, and as a solo venture with this label I would have full autonomy over the smaller details. Chris I’anson actually does the majority of the leg work for On.Rotation, and I guess as a result I also wanted to feel a bit more responsibility and independence. I think there are huge positives to experiencing running labels both in groups and solo.

The name murmurs actually derived from ‘Murmurations’, which sadly was already taken when the idea came about. I can’t take credit for either really, as my partner was riffing through eloquent words at the time and inspired them.

What advice would you give to someone who is looking to start their own label?

No matter how small or new, nurture the label to the best of your abilities and take it seriously. Enjoy the creative decision making whilst also taking your time with the organisation. Collaborate with people that you resonate with both personally and creatively! 

If you could build a perfect venue and club night around your Taurus EP, what would it look like?

I think an outdoor space enclosed with trees, a good amount of smoke, and gentle lighting throughout the foliage would be the setting. The booth has to be at ground level, with four-point sound so that all the spots on the dance floor sound full, and probably a nice round-sounding system like a Danley. Opening the night with an extended live set from Atomic Moog would flow nicely into a set from me, before Sybil takes us through to Jane Fitz for the Sunrise extravaganza.

Tell us about two artists that has been hugely inspiring to both your performance and production process in 2025.

Among all the amazing artists at the moment, I have to take my hat off to some of the abundant talent shining through India currently. Kohra, Midnight Traffic, SHFT and Monophonik have all educated my ears on this seemingly perfect balance between Psy and techno. Energy, precision and feeling all in one. 

As we rapidly rocket towards the end of the year, what are some of your hopes and goals for 2026?

To be happy with my music and artistry. To nurture my perfectionism in a way that isn't detrimental to my progression or mental state. To continue to build my appreciation for the beautiful music scenes emerging all over the world.
