# Adam Sheridan – Lektrik
Adam Sheridan emerged as a notable figure in the electronic music scene with the release of Lektrik on the Tatsumaki label in 2003. This 12-inch vinyl captures a moment in early 2000s electronic music when trance was experiencing significant creative evolution and experimentation across underground and mainstream territories.
The album consists of two versions of the titular track "Lektrik," showcasing Sheridan's approach to remixing and arrangement. The Original Mix clocks in at 8 minutes and 21 seconds, establishing the foundational vision for the composition with its trance-oriented production style. Sheridan demonstrates technical proficiency in building and sustaining electronic atmospheres characteristic of the era's trance movement.
The B-side presents Adam's Inside Out Mix, a 7-minute and 10-second reinterpretation that offers an alternative perspective on the same material. This version reflects the common practice of 12-inch vinyl releases providing different mixes for DJs and listeners, allowing for varied interpretations of a single composition. The remix approach highlights Sheridan's understanding of how electronic tracks could be deconstructed and reimagined.
Released on Tatsumaki, a label engaged in electronic music distribution during this period, Lektrik represents the type of focused, single-track release that characterized much vinyl culture among electronic music enthusiasts. The format choice itself was significant for DJs and collectors who valued the tactile and sonic qualities of vinyl. This release stands as a documentation of Sheridan's work within the trance and electronic music landscape of 2003, offering collectors a glimpse into the remix-driven culture of digital electronic music during that era.
