Biography & Career:
Adana Twins is a German DJ and producer duo from Hamburg, celebrated for emotionally charged electronic music and long, hypnotic marathon sets. The two first joined forces in 2006, and the act earned its now-famous name during a late-night brainstorm over Adana kebab at a Turkish restaurant. The Adana Twins members are Benjamin Busse, who performs under the alias Take It Easy, and his longtime partner Friso, and together the pair grew from a small Hamburg bar residency into one of the most respected names in underground house and techno.

The real name behind Take It Easy is Benjamin Busse, while Friso has always kept a lower public profile, and the real names of both clearly point to their German roots. Their nationality is German, and the city of Hamburg remains central to their identity. In terms of music genre, the sound moves across deep house, techno, melodic techno, nu-disco and indie dance, having evolved over the years from house-driven productions into a darker, more atmospheric, techno-leaning style.

As DJ Adana Twins, the pair built a reputation on all-night gigs that travel freely between styles and tempos, a concept that grew into the trademark ALLNIIGHT event series and the TAU label. The international breakthrough arrived in 2012 and sent the duo on a relentless Adana Twins tour, taking over major clubs and festivals across Europe, the Americas and beyond. Their songs have topped Beatport and Resident Advisor charts and drawn support from figures like Pete Tong, Solomun and Tale Of Us.

Although the exact age of each member is not publicly confirmed, both have spent the better part of two decades shaping the European club scene. Adana Twins upcoming events continue to draw crowds across the continent, with new tour dates added regularly. Away from the decks the duo stays relatively private, preferring to let the productions and live shows speak for themselves.
