To most, Adrian Armendariz is known as a quirky high school chemistry teacher with a passion for educating young people. To the dance music industry, however, he is better known as the frontman for Elliptical Sun Recordings, Adrian Alexander. After having signed his first single to Elliptical Sun in the fall of 2015, Adrian immediately gained support from Above & Beyond on their Group Therapy Radio show, driving him to churn out a number of club-ready originals and remixes in the months following. In 2016, his single 'Stratosphere', in collaboration with fresh talent Skylane, broke the Elliptical Sun record for highest ranking single on the Beatport Top 100 Trance Singles chart at #18. Later that year, his 'Turnaround' EP made its way to the #1 spot on the Beatport Top 100
