Location: Midwest

New acts shape the future of local music
Rich Albertoni on Friday 08/22/2008

...These 10 acts have one thing in common. They're on the verge of redefining the Madison sound...

Electronic sophisticate from Rhinelander

Adam Jerzak, 25, was still a student at Rhinelander High School when he attended his first electronic music show. He quickly fell in love with the genre and adopted it as his private passion.

Jerzak moved to Madison in 2003 to plug in to the Midwest club scene. He played more than 100 shows over the next year. He also got a job at the Madison DJ-gear retail store, MC Audio. His duties included ordering the store's progressive house records. Talk about a dream job.

Adam the Tree is Jerzak's electronic persona. He's a hypnotic fellow who likes to wedge himself into the space between Tribal and Progressive House. His mixes have a jazz-like improvisational feel. His beats are a steady pulse, a power source that won't relent.
Since releasing his debut EP in 2006, Jerzak's star has risen. 2008 has been his most active year yet. He's released five compositions so far.
