''Adam Hyde'' was a member of [[Mudpeople]], [[Jam Sandwich]], [[The Waldos]], [[Fluke]] and the [[Emersons]], the music editor for Nexus in 1992, and manager of [[Contact]] 89FM from 1993 to 1996 after applying unsuccessfully 2 times before. In 1991 he produced the music fanzine [[Garbage]], the focus of which was almost exclusively Hamilton music and somewhere before that he co-organised the Deep Fried Orgasmic Ambience Gig which lead to him being appointed (and later fired) by Nazrudin Ukranic as the Student Events organiser. He initiated and hosted the show [[Urban Jangle]] on [[Contact 89FM]], which ran from August 1993 to late 1996, that played 100% Hamilton music.  He wrote a series of important articles on the history of [[Contact 89FM]] for [[Nexus]] in 1992, titled ''Making Contact''. He also wrote several "rumours" columns and articles on Hamilton music for [[Rip it Up]] and the ''Waikato Times''. While in Hamilton, ''Adam'' also helped establish and managed [[Static TV]], and started the Hamilton [[Battle of the Bands]] series, and the [[Fridge Recording Studios]]. He also curated the two Fridge compilation CDs and later (when managing BFM), put together the [[God Save the Clean]] compilation which featured three Hamilton bands.

On leaving Hamilton, ''Hyde'' was initially CEO for 95bFM in Auckland (making him the only student radio manager to manage two stations in the Student Radio Network), where he also founded b.net. He relocated to South Australia in the late 1990s. In 1998 he founded "Radioqualia" with ''Honor Harger'', initially as an art collaboration, but which evolved into a net broadcaster. Moving to Amsterdam in 1999, ''Hyde'' co-founded ''HelpB92'' and ''Open Channels for Kosovo'', which assisted independent media in the former Yugoslavia. Since leaving Hamilton, ''Adam'' has been working as a software artist and musician under the name "eset", including a performance under this name at the 1998/1999 ''The Gathering'' New Years concert.
