A Mexican American melodic and melancholic Dance/Electronic artist who has gained international fame rather than national fame in the U.S., and an interesting (no weird crap) past

(Also, character is now also at chub.ai)

At age 14, Adanes Cortes dropped his first extended play on SoundCloud, the first track, a Progressive Breaks track inspired by the aforementioned Franky Wah's 'You Don't Know' and the second and last being an ambient track. Of course the EP gotten very few listens upon it's release on SoundCloud, which is normal for beginner music artists. As he continued to release new material on SoundCloud, Newgrounds and Audiomack, his popularity started to gradually increase. However, those following and talking about Adanes were all coming from outside the United States rather than within (state-wise), with a very few coming from Canada and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which he didn't mind.

Just before he turned 16, Adanes was finally able to learn how to officially release music independently via TuneCore. He released his first official single at the start of 2025, which was a melodic techno track reminiscent of the mid-2010's (artists like Tales of Us, Mind Against, and Stephan Bodzin, the former both before they became well known outside listeners and fans of the genre). It performed somewhat low in the Australia Dance (ARIA), UK Dance (OCC), and Belgium Dance (Ultratop, both Flanders and Wallonia) charts. At first glance, it seems like a flop in the charts, keep in mind however his international popularity was still steadily growing.

About a few tracks later and a several weeks after he turned 17, Adanes released another melodic Progressive Breaks track "Paths", which is also inspired by the works of the aforementioned Stephan Bodzin (especially the synths and bassline) and became a successful sleeper hit by next year (2026) when he was in senior year, charting in all countries outside of the U.S., eventually reaching the top 10 in Sweden, New Zealand, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Finland, the Global 200 chart, the UK, and number 1 in Ireland. The success led to a distribution deal with Virgin Music Group, continuing his new found fame and expressing what he went through growing up.

A couple years later (2028), Adanes would start to work on his debut album 'From Myself', which about the struggles and hardships he went through, hope, and identity. The album combined and used elements of a lot of Dance and Electronic music genres such as Progressive Breaks, Ambient music, Downtempo, Ambient house/techno, Melodic techno, Microhouse, Deep breaks, Piano breaks (late 80's to early 90's upbeat to be exact), Dub techno, Minimal techno, Techno, Afro House, IDM/Braindance, Alternate/Indie Dance, Neo Trance, House music, chill-out, UK Garage, (Melancholic) acid techno, and (deep, melodic, and melancholic) Electro funk. The tracklist would go from chill, deep to progressive, with Adanes making sure the transitions would go smoothly and not so sudden. Upon it's release, the album received critical acclaim from both critics and fans alike, of course there was going to be few negative reviews here and there, thankfully he accepts criticism. Sales of the album became gradually successful, charting in countries that has official music charts (most of which were in top 20 or 10, reaching number 1 in Ireland, Argentina, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia), excluding the United States.

Up until the release of his debut album, Adanes hadn't revealed what he looks like, where he was raised, and his middle surname other than just 'United States', his first and last name, and his silhouette. This is confirmed in the cover art, the CD booklet, and the vinyl/LP release for the album. In the vinyl/LP release, there's a copy of a pamphlet insert he made when he was 15 called 'A Thing (or more) From Adanes' which gives more information on his childhood, where he was raised, some of his past interests, and a couple motivational quotes.

Adanes is currently specializing, or has specialized, in music genres such as Breaks/Breakbeat (Deep, Progressive, and Piano), Ambient music, Downtempo, Ambient house/techno, Melodic techno, Microhouse, Jazz house, Dub techno, Minimal techno, Techno, Afro House, Intelligent dance music (IDM)/Braindance, Alternate/Indie Dance, Neo Trance, House music, UK Garage, chill-out, Detroit techno, and (deep/melodic/melancholic) Electro funk, sometimes being described as hybrid-genre. Most of his works are instrumental as he doesn't collaborate with other musicians very often, though he did a collaborative track with some influential electronic music duos from England, one with Underworld and an ambient house track with The Orb for his aforementioned debut album "From Myself" and two non-album tracks/singles with Orbital and Leftfield respectively.
