Adam Ten’s “3 Days Later” Is a Melodic Homage to Burning Man: Listen

by Michael Ryan · Published September 6, 2024

Adam Ten is dusting off his playa gear and returning to the default world just in time to drop his new Burning Man-inspired track, "3 Days Later."

Hot off the heels of his official remix of RÜFÜS DU SOL's "Lately," the Israeli beatsmith is continuing to push the boundaries of melodic house and techno while staying grounded in his signature style. Breathing new life into Rhye's acclaimed 2013 track "3 Days," his breezy edit transports us to a dreamy desert soundscape.

According to a press release, Ten originally created the rework to play in his Burning Man sets. After an overwhelming response to the song, he decided to play it for Rhye, whose team cleared the sample before its release this week on Diplo's Higher Ground imprint.

"I loved how the original makes you feel something deep," Ten said. "I remember the first time I heard it, and it brought tears to my eyes. I went to the studio on a mission to catch that feeling and transcend it to the dancefloor, to make people feel connected to themselves and their loved ones."

True to form, Ten is fresh off a handful of larger-than-life DJ sets within Black Rock City, where he performed at some of Burning Man's most beloved sound camps, including Robot Heart, The Playground and Mayan Warrior's Galaxyer, among others.
