About
AADIKTIV turns rooms up. He's a Philadelphia DJ who leads with house and EDM, plays live drums on top, and takes the drum straight into the crowd when the drop hits.
Every Thursday, The Peabody by Temple fills up and goes off for his set. The Desisends nights he co-runs at Airis Lounge in Fishtown have sold out three times.
He came up on open format and Bollywood, so he can read any room and switch it on. Next up: his own progressive house originals, in the studio now.
One rule on his dance floor. Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you're in.

This is SYD
AADIKTIV doesn't do it alone. He, Abhi and Miles have known each other since elementary school, and together they built SYD, a creative vision with one goal: get anyone, from any background, happy and dancing.

The sets, the drums and the push that keeps the floor moving all night.

The eye behind the shots on this site. He catches the moments the crowd didn't know they'd want to keep, and turns the night into something to look back on.

The lights that wrap around the crowd and turn a room into a show, so every drop hits your eyes as hard as your ears.
Music and energy in the moment, lights that pull the crowd in, and memories to relive after. That's how the sold-out nights happen.

When the drop hits, he grabs the drum and takes it straight into the crowd. The whole room goes with him, and nobody stands still.
