ADN, also known as Ad Nauseam, is a Melbourne-based electronic dance music duo that has been making waves in the industry since its formation in 2003. The duo, comprised of Ben Ellis and DJ Hellraiser, is known for their unique blend of hard-hitting, dark-edged, acid-fueled, and energetic driving electronic sound and style. ADN has released several tracks on renowned labels such as Tension Music and Überduck Records' sub-label Schalldruck Records. Their discography includes hits like "The Outer Limits 2020," "The House Of 1000 Corpses," and "Fear Unknown." In addition, the duo has collaborated with Dutch artist Jack Wax on the track "Dissonant Realms" and released the fast-paced, hard, dark, and 90's rave-inspired "Better Living Through Chemistry" on the second EP from Flatlife Records & Stay Up Forever Records collaborative label, We Are Acid Family.The duo is also well-known for their remixes of tracks like Illiya Korniyekno's Gumball 3000 on the label Disrupt The Surge and the Flatlife Records remix EP of the 1993 underground acid hit Theme Of Roarr by Alici, initially released on the now-defunct Brooklyn, New York-based label Direct Drive Records. ADN's hard, driving, acid-fueled techno remix of the hit track "The Twilight Zone" (initially released in 1999 as Megamind - Taub) for the prolific Italian DJ and artist Mauro Picotto on his label Alchemy Records is something the duo is quite proud of, with them citing the original release "Taub" as one of the primary inspirations for them as producers.
ADN's unique sound and style have garnered support from well-known artists globally and a loyal following in Australia and abroad. Overall, the duo's dedication to their craft and willingness to push boundaries have made them a force to be reckoned with in the electronic music scene.
