Operon

BIOGRAPHY - OPERON



Operon has been a pillar of the drum'n'bass community in Brisbane (Australia) for over six years now. Alongside partner in crime DJ Erther, Operon was responsible for reviving a dead scene for this UK breakbeat sound in his home town. Lack of exposure to the genre and a poor selection of events compelled Operon to start his own parties which led on to the seminal Brisbane clubbing event 'Rude Bwoyz Monthly'. This dnb institution ran consecutively each and every month for the over five years making Rude Bwoyz the longest running independent club event in Brisbane history! Drum'n'bass in Brisbane is now the strongest its ever been, with scores of talented young djs coming through the ranks and lots of exposure to the sound at many diverse dance events and clubs. His efforts have culminated with top support slots for renowned djs such as LTJ Bukem, Teebee, Aphrodite, Logistics, and Pendulum, as well as a feature mix and interview on major national radio station 'Triple J'.



Also a keen producer; Operon in collaboration with top Brisbane vocalist 'Manta Ray' (My Ninja Lover) has seen his production 'Airports' released on UK label 'Phuzion Records', the 12" promo getting to No.15 on the Juno charts in it's first week! The label is owned and managed by the legendary DJ Nookie, famed for his seminal releases on LTJ Bukem's Good Looking imprint. Operon has a string of 12" releases lined up for 2009 as well as a solid catalogue of digital releases on top liquid and atmospheric labels like 'Fokuz', 'Vibez', 'Camino Blue' and 'Covert Operations'. His musical efforts really payed off recently when his upcoming Fokuz release 'Electrons' was played by London Elektricity on the Hospital Records podcast!



Operons most recent project is the establishment of his brand new Australian based drum'n'bass label Golden Orb Records. The label has a release schedule showcasing some top emerging and established talent from both Australia and Europe for exclusive digital release. Look out for the exclusive 'Operon - Airports EP' set for digital release in June (licensing courtesy of Phuzion Records).



Don't forget to tune into the 'Australian Atmospherics' show hosted by Operon every Thursday night night 9-11pm (AEST) at www.bassdrive.com - the worlds most popular on-line drum'n'bass radio station!

A-grade melodic dnb from a collaboration thats sure to do the business! Our man in Chicago 'Stunna' needs no introduction, and in partnership with 'kubatko' has provided Golden Orb Records a rock solid melodic liquid number not to be sniffed at. The track kicks off smooth and light with some lush uplifting chords and washed out fx which lead us into the main break on the 33 mark. The intro gradually builds before dropping us into the trademark stunna breakdown; dreamy piano melodies and sweeping pads designed to uplift and bliss out with every note. The drop introduces us nicely to the groove of the track with a warm, sustained bass melody that adds perfectly to the dreamy and uplifting nature of 'Broken Rules'. This track has musical themes, chords and melodies coming from every direction and is sure to please fans of melodic liquid and the more energetic end of the atmospheric styles.
