Adriatique, Rhys from the Sticks 'Coming Home' on X Recordings

Adriatique placed 'Coming Home', made with Rhys from the Sticks, first of nine on his own chart on 17 July. The track, in the Extended Mix on X Recordings, is filed as Melodic House & Techno and was released on 10 July, deep into the high season in Ibiza and Mykonos.

Adriatique has released 42 records since 7 November 2011, eight apiece on Diynamic and Afterlife Records, six on Rose Avenue/Reprise and three on Armada Music Albums; the most recent before this was 'Closer', on X Recordings, on 3 April 2026. Adriatique was last covered on 17 April, with 'Closer', on X Recordings.

The drums and chords weigh the same here, an even figure across the board, a forward level with almost no room under the peaks, and a top end that sits half bright. It is a warm, well balanced piece of Melodic House & Techno from a producer with a long and steady run on his own label, and topping that chart with it, on the day of its release, is a clean, deliberate result.
