Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) sees talents from all over the globe, but there’s a certain buzz this year, and it’s echoing the name Sherm. His release “Light Show,” is set to make waves and will release on the compilation Hood Politics x ADE Sampler. His single is loaded with hypnotic synths and a vocal pattern channeling Green Velvet vibes – it’s is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Sherm’s dynamic journey in music.
Rewinding back to 2014 in the windy city of Chicago, Sherm’s initiation into the world of music was anything but ordinary. He wasn’t just another DJ aiming to get his mixes out; he was a holistic artist. With roles spanning DJing, music production, A&R specialization, and podcast hosting, Sherm’s multifaceted approach has always made him stand out.
His releases and mixes have graced various stages, from San Francisco’s eclectic neighborhoods to the bustling nightlife of NYC. Sharing stages with icons like Armin Van Buuren and Gorgon City, Sherm’s footprint is undeniable. North Coast, Home Bass, and notably ADE, are just a few festivals that have felt the Sherm effect.
Beyond the turntables, his stint with Hood Politics Records, a brainchild of DJ Susan, reflects his influence in the A&R domain. Spearheading the label’s direction, Sherm has been instrumental in bringing onboard prodigious talents like Franky Wah.
Adding another feather to his cap, “Sherm In The Booth” is a another example of his connect with the industry, featuring a lineup from CID to Masteria across its 200+ episodes.
As ADE progresses, one sentiment is palpable – Sherm is on a trajectory that’s still ascending, and the music world better be ready.
