With several full length albums under his belt on imprints such as Black Nation and Theory, as well as a slew of singles on well-respected labels Ongaku, Inkubator, Public Transit, Moto, and 77 Records, Noel is no stranger to the international electronic music scene. In 1995, under the alias Monochrome, he is credited with releasing the first US Drum & Bass record entitled the 'Reconnaissance' EP. In 1997, as Noel switched his focus more towards techno, he released 'Time Dilation Effect' on his own 21/22 Corporation, revealing the Archetype alias to the world. Over the past 5 years, Archetype has steadily released ground-breaking and forward-thinking techno characterized by unique off beat syncopation and a rich melodic sensibility. His recent downtempo and hip hop productions caught the eye of Good Looking label head LTJ Bukem, who quickly signed Noel to the roster. The following release, on sub-label Cookin' Records, was recorded with fellow Columbus artist MC L Black. Additionally, Noel has recently started a new imprint called Glyph, part of the larger 21/22 Corporation, and completed two comprehensive tours of Europe and Japan. He has also performed at the legendary Sonar festival in Barcelona, Chicago's Red No. 5, Detroit's Motor, and the DEMF 'Eyes Only' after-party. Recently, he relocated his studio to New York City, where he both lives and works. His most recent output can be sampled as part of the local online magazine Subsystence [http://www.subsystence.net]. CARLOS SOUFFRONT (Interdimensional Transmissions, Detroit/Ann Arbor) Carlos Souffront is one of Detroit's finest underground talents. His taste, style, and integrity have made him one of the most sought after DJs in the Midwest. Souffront's initial impetus into the electronic music scene came from Detroit's rave heyday, a time when warehouses were profoundly inpiring venues with a singular focus on the music. He shared his first residency with Clark Warner of Minus/Plus 8 at Zoot's Coffee and Sound. It is in the clutches of this cafe that Souffront's style began to emerge, one that draws from Detroit's techno history but always attempts to push the envelope. His style was further refined for the dance floor with his residency at Detroit's legendary Sardine Bar, where he shared the decks with Stacey Pullen. Often viewed as 'the DJs DJ,' Carlos Souffront is a truly unique talent with an astounding collection of hard-to-find and classic records. Opening sets will be provided by local favorites MATTHEW MARTIN (Meiotic, Chicago) and KARL MEIER (Interrupt Media/Subsystence). Running from 10 PM to 3 AM, tickets for the show are $10. 21+ only, $2 PBR. -- Thursday, September 30 Featuring performances from: TITONTON DUVANTE (Residual, 7th City) MATTY (Untitled) COLEMAN BURDITT (U-Freqs) KEN MEIER (Interrupt Media) TITONTON DUVANTE (Residual, 2000 Black, 7th City, Environ, Metamorphic) Special DJ set - Columbus, Ohio If one had to say a few words about the multifaceted talent of Titonton Duvante, adjectives such as 'innovative,' 'ambitious' and 'creative' would come first and foremost. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, he was drawn at an early age to the upbeat rhythms of disco and the futuristic sounds of early electronic music. He admired the electro sound most of all, following the music of influential artists like Yellow Magic Orchestra, Gary Numan, The Art of Noise, Depeche Mode and New Order. He also was heavily influenced by classical music, and in the autumn of 1989 began studies in Classical Composition and Opera Performance at Ohio State University. In April of 1990, Titonton purchased his first piece of professional equipment and has been composing ever since. 1991 saw him form seminal techno group Body Release with Todd Sines, Charles Noel and Mike Szewczyk. Later, in 1993, he began to seriously try his hand at the art of being a DJ. His unique performance techniques have been shaped primarily by the ideologies of jazz improvisation and experimental music. Titonton has toured extensively on at least 3 continents, including high-profile gigs in Detroit, Boston, New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Geneva, Vienna, London, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Brussels, Berlin, and Tokyo. An impeccable talent, with a unique vision on DJing, Titonton embodies the forward-thinking nature of electronic music. Opening sets will be provided by local favorites MATTY (Untitled), COLEMAN BURDITT (U-Freqs), and KEN MEIER (Interrupt Media/Subsystence). Running from 9 PM to 2 AM, tickets for the show are $6. 21+ only, $2 PBR. -- More information: http://www.interrupt-media.com/ http://www.sonotheque.net/ http://www.covalent.org/ http://www.subsystence.net/ Please forward!
