Les Adams was a UK DJ, producer and radio host (born November 29, 1955–died September 2, 2019, UK, of a heart attack).
Les “The Mix Doctor” Adams was a professional DJ since 1979 and was one of the first DJs in the UK to adopt the American beat-matching form of mixing. He became a member of the DJ club DMC team in 1983 and started remixing commercial releases soon afterward. He became a recording artist in 1987, under the guise of L.A. Mix, signing a reported 5-album deal with A&M Records.
Adams was also a radio host, joining Capital Radio, BBC Radio One, then Solar radio, while pursuing a club DJ career and lecturing in DJ skills and DJ technology at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guilford.
