About Adam After Hours:

Adam After Hours is the new moniker of Los Angeles-based producer Adam Weimann. His self-described “tender rave music” captures the raw emotion of late-night dance floors and the hazy intimacy of early-morning afters—blending dreamy synths, clever vocal sampling, and adventurous arrangements to explore both the highs of the rave and the comedown of the after party.

His debut album, I Have Places in High Friends, dropped last year on limited-edition red vinyl, earning support from BBC Radio 1, KCRW, Kiss FM, and some of his favorite DJs. In the Fall of 2024, he debuted his live set at CRSSD Festival in San Diego, a milestone in his evolution as an artist.

Before launching Adam After Hours, Adam spent years DJing and releasing music as Joluca, his duo project with fellow Canadian David Assaly. Joluca’s music has landed on labels such as Club Bad, Fool’s Gold, Desert Hearts, and IN / ROTATION, leading to performances at iconic festivals such as Bass Coast, EDC, and Shambhala.
