'THE GREENROOM' Feature Mix on BIOS RECORDINGS: May 29, 2013

Closing out the month of MAY, join STUNNA in 'THE GREENROOM' as he takes an in-depth look at one of DRUM+BASS music's finest labels: BIOS Recordings.

Launched in 2006 by producer/DJ TOM AMANING (a prolific artist with offerings on METALHEADZ, SOUL:R, SOUNDTRAX, FORMATION, and RENEGADE RECORDINGS), BIOS, 'Breakbeat Input/Out System,' has made its name by releasing diverse music from an array of worldwide producers including CONTOUR, STUNNA, NAIBU, SQUASH, SUBMORPHICS, BIONIC1, DECEM, ZERO T, DAN MARSHALL, PRIME8, PHYSICS, MIXMASTER DOC, NOTION, DRUMAGICK, among many other premier artists on the scene.

With a number of vinyl and digital singles released initially, BIOS delivered the first label compilation on CD entitled 'INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM VOLUME 1' (backed with an exclusive mix) in 2008. Fast forward five years, and the label is back with yet another action-packed, various artist compilation: 'THE RETURN.' Featuring thirteen slices of funk, this new album lands this SPRING 2013 in digital form as well as a vinyl sampler housing stellar cuts from RANDOM MOVEMENT, FURNEY, and LOCKSMITH. To hear all the tracks in mixed fashion, check out STUNNA's promo mix for 'THE RETURN' album:

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from INDIDJINOUS: May 22, 2013

Years of unwanted childhood music lessons led MICHAEL MOREL to develop an aversion to common instruments like guitars and pianos. Intrigued by the unusual sounds of the didjeridu, MOREL’s true musical ambitions were sparked when he began playing the ancient AUSTRALIAN wind instrument in 1998.

Shortly afterwards, MOREL moved from the SAN FRANCISCO Bay Area to SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA where he developed a healthy obsession with DRUM+BASS and JUNGLE. Adopting the alias "INDIDJINOUS," he often played didjeridu over live DJ sets using various electric guitar pedals to distort the sound. After graduating college in 2002 he began experimenting with production, incorporating his didjeridu into many tracks. In 2005, having created a considerable number of tunes, he finally took up DJing. Today his performances typically consist of mixing his own tracks with like-minded tunes, though occasionally the didjeridu still makes an appearance.

In 2007 INDIDJINOUS headed off to the East Coast for graduate school where he explored the DRUM+BASS scenes in WASHINGTON DC, BALTIMORE, NEW YORK CITY and MIAMI. In 2011 he returned to CALIFORNIA and he currently lives in SAN FRANCISCO. The end of 2012 saw the emergence of his own internet radio show “THE OTHER SIDE” on JUNGLETRAIN airing every other Wednesday night from 8PM-9:30PM PST. In the summer INDIDJINOUS teaches an electronic music production/didjeridu class to middle school students in SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA.

Citing major influences from TECHNICAL ITCH, DOM & ROLAND, KONFLICT, PARADOX, TEEBEE, HIVE and AMIT, INDIDJINOUS tunes are cinematic, tribal and dark. His sound spans several styles of DRUM + BASS including TECHSTEP, DRUMFUNK, HALF-TIME, EXPERIMENTAL, ATMOSPHERIC and NEUROFUNK. Overtly melodic sounds are almost wholly absent in his productions. Instead he tends toward abstract sci-fi atmospherics, industrial sound effects, and dis-harmonic bass lines.

With a healthy number of releases/forthcoming pressure on respected labels such as SUBTLE AUDIO, PINECONE MOONSHINE, MANIFESTO MUSIC, OMNI MUSIC, DYSFUNK MUSIC, GOLDEN AGE, JUNGLETRAIN, DIGITAL CONSPIRACY, LW RECORDINGS and MATERIALIZM, INDIDJINOUS has recently been hard at work with notorious AUSTRALIAN producer CENTASPIKE collaborating on groundbreaking new sounds.

Tune in this session as we dive into the mind of a truly original and talented DJ/producer and are treated to an exclusive guest mix from the man known as INDIDJINOUS!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from FREEBIRD: May 15, 2013

Another very special edition this program as 'THE GREENROOM' is graced with an exclusive guest mix from one of my personal favorite producers who's moved strength to strength in his relatively short tenure as producer: hailing from FREIBURG, GERMANY, on MAY 15th, I'm proud to showcase the talents of FREEBIRD. With a solo album already under his belt coupled with a number of high-profile releases and forthcoming projects on respected imprints such as KILL INC, OFFWORLD RECORDINGS, SOUL BROS RECORDS, LIQUID TONES, ROTATION DEEP, TEXTURES MUSIC GROUP, DNBB, and POINT AUDIO, FREEBIRD's infectious, polished productions draw from his interests in a myriad of musical styles including JAZZ, HIP HOP, REGGAE, and ELECTRO. With the incorporation of live instrumentation in many of his original works (stemming from his concentration of musicology and guitar studies at university), FREEBIRD has woven his signature sound in the fabric of today's past-paced, ever-evolving world of DRUM+BASS music. Tune in!!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from AUSTIN SPEED: April 17, 2013

On APRIL 17, 2013, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM.' For this program, we head cross-country over to sunny SAN DIEGO where we tap into the mind of a very talented DJ/producer by the name of AUSTIN SPEED. An active force in the electronic music community for many years, AUSTIN SPEED's productions draw from a vast array of influences and styles. Borrowing pieces of Jungle, Juke, Drum+Bass, Detroit Techno, and early electro, AUSTIN's current musical output fuses these elements together to create something almost entirely new and has gained support from DJs around the globe. His most recently released track entitled 'BACK THE FUCK UP' (co-produced by long-time friend and collaborator CALCULON) was included on BEATPORT's "ON ROTATION" chart and was also featured on ROCKWELL's MINISTRY OF SOUND RADIO show and SHOGUN AUDIO podcast. With a number of strong releases under his belt for esteemed labels such as LOOSE SQUARES, APEX MUSIC, ROGUE DUBS, LIQUID GEOMETRY, and PHUNKFICTION, be on the lookout for a slew of genre-bending, eclectic offerings in the coming months.

On WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2013, STUNNA presents the 22nd installment in THE GREENROOM 'SPOTLIGHT MIX' series. This time, we take a second long-form journey into the body of work from one of North America's leading lights in the Drum+Bass scene: SUBMORPHICS. Originally hailing from the DETROIT area, SUBMORPHICS (aka GREG AXELRAD) has made the Windy City of CHICAGO his home base the past few years and we'll take a peek at what he's been up to since the first spotlight mix on his work aired way back in 2007. His solo productions, collaborations, and remixes all carry his signature 'retro soul' sound: a respectful 'nod' to the past, yet grounded by today's polished, production techniques. Having graced many fine labels such as INNERGROUND, HOSPITAL, WESTBAY, SPEARHEAD, RUBIK, THINK DEEP, BIOS, PHUNKFICTION, and BLU SAPHIR, rest assured, he's got plenty more big release news to announce in the coming months. With another transatlantic tour launching as we go to press, be sure to catch him when he comes to town as his DJ skills match his prowess in the studio domain. Tune in this session as we dive back into the creative, progressive, and imaginative mind of SUBMORPHICS.
