Audio's first experience with electronic music was in the Early 90's with the Colin Dale and Colin Favour radio shows on Kiss 100. He was instantly hooked, and when, a few years later, the classic "Wormhole" LP on Virus recordings was released, there was no turning back and he embraced the underground family that we know and love as, Drum and Bass. Inspired to start DJing, non-stop record buying a...nd mixing followed, and he was soon playing at local illegal raves around London. Production was the next logical step for him, experimenting with various pieces of hardware over the next few years. After a chance meeting, Audio was handed a CD with the programs Acid 1.0 and Reason 1.0, and from that moment things dramatically changed. soon after he began releasing tracks and getting a buzz around him, From this Audio became the main producer behind Resonant Evil and went on to have releases on Renegade Hardware, G2 , Outbreak and Moving Shadow, this also lead to many opportunities DJing across Europe. Moving to present day,Audio has joined Dylan's fiendish family and has become a member of the Freak / Anger Management & Therapy Sessions cult and has been concentrating purely on his solo material,bringing His own special brand of twisted tetchy darkness that has been consistently demolishing dance floors all over the UK and Europe! With some of the most highly anticipated releases scheduled for Freak Recordings, released now is the monster 12"Freak 021 "Warehouse"/"Destroyed" one of the biggest singles of the year,forthcoming is his debut EP " Designed For War" (Freak026ep) he recently just released a track on Subtitles "Missing"a remix of Tech Itch & Jakes "Retribution", and a remix of BSE's "The Cooler" Recently he collaborated on a killer with Dylan, more info on that coming soon..big things! Audio is currently dj'ing all over Europe and is a resident at the infamous "Therapy Sessions" parties worldwide, it is hopeless to resist this Bad Seed!

DJ Sets by Alex Smoke

Why So Serious? in association with George FM presents:

ALEX SMOKE Live
(Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Vakant, Hum&Haw, Soma. UK)

“From big room to intimate, deep to jacking with occasional future bass accents, dubstep-leaning respites, 80's synths and industrially-edged moments, Alex Smoke's sets are more advanced than radical. Smoke easily engages the crowd with a tangible sense of musical purpose, fist punching the air and tick-tock percussion provides rhythmic relief before heads drop as the bass rolls again”

With Support From:

+ Matt Drake
+ Philippa

Glitch the System:

Glitch the System is a new night dedicated to bringing you the freshest Glitch Hop from around the globe. For those unfamiliar with this term it is the name given to an new and emerging style of club bass music that infuses Hip Hop with fresh new production techniques drawing from Dubstep and DnB, but also bringing It's own unique brand of funk and cleverness. It has the attitude and swagger of Hip Hop as well as incorporating other styles such as Reggae and Rock with the face melting bass drops of DnB and Dubstep. As Hip Hop has no specific tempo neither does Glitch Hop and that allows the music to move around in ways that no other club music can, and when played by a skilled Dj ( turntabalist ) it makes for a killer club night, a night not to be missed!

Opiuo:

A scrumptious, glitch laden, bass dolloping, luscious soundscape brooding world sounds like fun right? Well this is precisely the musical world created by electronic producer and performer Opiuo.

Originally from a small town deep in the New Zealand countryside, Opiuo now resides in the pimp hustle back streets of Melbourne Australia, where he has gone about building an international reputation for his extremely original, party fuelling creations. Playing live at major festivals, headlining club nights, and touring extensively in front of sold out crowds all across the USA, Canada, and Australasia.

Favouring fun n funk fuelled body shaking sonic manipulations, the Opiuo sound is being included in DJ sets from some of the worlds most respected, from Z-Trip to Bassnectar, KraftyKuts to Tipper and everyone in between. His music has featured in films, documentaries, television series, and high profile radio stations throughout the globe. 2010 even saw him selected to open for MC Hammer at a private Google party. Quite literally rocking ear holes in every corner of the globe.

His music has dominated digital download charts, with his debut full length release "Slurp And Giggle" being nominated for Best Dance / Electronic Release at the Australian Independent Music Awards, reaching number 10 on iTunes, and was the most downloaded album for 2010 on addictech.com. His releases as singles have spent time at #1 on beatport.com for Breaks, Electronica, Dubstep, and even Chillout.

2011 sees Opiuo touring the world once again, releasing his brand of sonic manipulations to a hugely positive response, and there's no sign of his slowing down anytime soon…
