Odi
...(Digital Konfusion, Konkrete Jungle, BFM NYC)
Odi as he is known to the world, does not look like the type to have a group of beautiful women fawning over him. And yet, there are several that I have to get through to talk to him. People murmur "respect" as we walk outside. Their admiration is not undeserved. Odi, is in great part responsible for the entire style of jungle music in NYC. "I can't think of anything that makes me happier," he says. "Every show makes me better."
Jungle or drum&bass is one of the evolutions of the 90s electronica wave, characterized by an emphasis on fast-paced breakbeat and prominent bassline. It was then, back in its formative years that Bronx-born, Harlem-raised Odi entered the scene and gave it his kind of direction. "I grew up around 125th street , the home of hip hop. So it was natural to be an aggressive DJ, putting in the hip hop elements. It's what I know." His break came around after high school, when running promotions for the famous NASA rave parties at Club Shelter grew into a steady DJing slot. From there, Odi and some childhood friends who shared a lifestyle, culture and musical interest began pumping out electronic records with their own signature twist.
"Jungle didn't happen as a music until 96. Back then it was all just called breaks or techno was the common term," Odi recalls. "Anything went back then. My friends and I got real lucky, being in the right place at the right time." Fans would argue that it was not only the position but the skills that propelled Odi and his DJ crew, Digital Konfusion, into the underground limelight. Their way of mixing jungle beats with Hip Hop has grown into its own genre. "Jump up" has been the defining style of NYC and the east coast in general since 97, when the crew formed their own eponymous record label and began spinning at NYC's most dedicated weekly jungle show: Konkrete Jungle. Odi rapidly became a fixture, while continuing to travel the country, one of the first few to enjoy such popularity.
Eventually Odi caught the ears of Malik Shabazz, the international spokesman for the respected Hip Hop society Zulu Nation. Shortly, he initiated Odi in 03, making the Harlem native the first junglist to enter the organization. "I really respected the work that they did," says Odi. "And I try not to talk or brag about it, but it's a very big honor." Odi and his record label remained prolific in the recent year, DJing constantly while putting out a mix CD and producing for multiple other artists. The next step for Odi is his upcoming artist's album and taking his music online for digital distribution. But most of all, he would just like to continue playing, unconstrained by genre. "They have names for all the different styles, but I like it better when it was just music," says Odi, smiling. "When it comes down to it, no one really knows the difference."

Mindelixir has been a busy individual recently. His funky jazz infused blend of bass music has been categorized as dubstep often but there's something very different about this producers sound. See for yourself by checking out his new mix that just dropped for Seclusiasis or checking out his latest release, Doomsday Ticket, fresh from Daly City Records.

Deathface (Trouble and Bass)
Named "Artist To Watch 2011" by Beatportal, Deathface (AKA Johnny Love and vocalist Adri Law) comes at you hard with the release of "Fall Of Man EP." Out today, this six-track EP is inspired by Midwest hardcore of the 90's, Magic the Gathering, woodland bonfire parties and white trash drug debauchery, and musically Atari Teenage Riot and Aleister Crowley. It's the soundtrack to The Omen's Damien Thorn and The Exorcist's Regan MacNeil dropping 2C-B at Anton LaVey's first rave. Scary, right? Johnny Love is one of the most provocative figures in dance music. A native of Southside Chicago, Johnny rose to infamy in his hometown in the early 2000's throwing a series of events at The Jerkstore that shunned predictable-dance-rock for eclectic and loose cuts from minimal techno to French touch house. The parties got so wild that Love was imprisoned by the Chicago police on more than one occasion.With things too hot in Chicago, Johnny moved to Los Angeles and formed hard-hitting electro-house duo Guns N' Bombs who were quickly offered a contract by Kitsuné founder Gildas Loaec. After a vast amount of critical acclaim and the making of many friends, enemies and frenemies Guns N' Bombs disbanded in 2009, and Johnny decamped to a hideaway in Charlotte, NC to craft Deathface's swift and deadly takeover and work on various collaborations, including an amazing t-shirt through Mishka designed by Seattle's death-rock-obsessed streetwear giants Actual Pain. Deathface is currently planning the Fall Of Man Tour (a sequel to 2010's American Gothic tour) for April and dates will be announced shortly. Deathface also appeared at SXSW and Miami Music Week.

Sonmi Suite (Skew Records)
Whether it's recording samples in isolated tunnels, cutting up found sounds on an MPC, programming analog synths, or layering unorthodox guitar and drum sounds, Sonmi Suite creates sounds that are sure to open the imagination of any audience. The enigmatic band has entertained audiences at Trinumeral 2009, and shared other regional electronic festivals with artists such as Bonobo, Pnuma Trio, Glitch Mob, BlueTech, Two Fresh, and Emancipator. By performing indulgently rhythmic collages of sound with virtually no pre-sequence, their virtuosic performance of multiple sound layers creates a much sought-after human edge to the live electronic genre.
