DJ Demigod
Dj Demigod not only continues to travel throughout the states playing at both massives and undergrounds on a weekly basis, he is also working hard in the studio writing, producing, and mixing his own tracks for international release. Dj Demigod's first 12-inch release, "D-Day," occurred in 1997 on America's oldest hardcore techno record label, New York's Industrial Strength. The record was an instant success and was heralded by some of the top dj's and magazines in the world. The legendary Dj Slipmat in Muzik magazine issue #26, proclaimed that the record was "arranged withL total originality." Likewise in issue #22 of Dream Magazine, Dj Scott Brown wrote that this record is "3 tracks of extreme dance till you drop hardcore...Ruff Beats collectors should not miss out." The following year, Dj Demigod formed System Records which released the first all hardcore record west of the Mississippi. Entitled "Seismic Rumble," the record came out in January of 1998 and quickly sold out of it's original run of 1100. In 1999, Dj Demigod followed up with "Scud Attack" which also sold out of it's original run of 1100. Then in 2000, "Urban Equation" was released marking the third hit record on System Records and the fourth for Dj Demigod. One of the reasons behind this remarkable string of successful 12-inch vinyl releases is the revolutionary technique Dj Demigod implements in constructing his songs. His method of song creating involves placing each beat in by hand in real-time with an absolute minimum of computer sequencing assistance. Unlike with most other electronic music producers, common methods such as quantizing and looping are rarely used. The end result is a revolutionary sound unheard of before in any music field. It has been said before that Dj Demigod is bridging the musical divide between man and machine.
On video you can catch Dj Demigod on the nationally televised "Freak City T.V." (episodes 1,6,,11) and the Insomniac/Go Ventures "Together As One" documentary. Add to that features in magazines such as Thunder and Insider and websites such as Groovetech and Thump, and you can begin to see just how deep Dj Demigod is entrenched in the electronic music scene. Ever since 1991, Dj Demigod has continued to release mix projects by himself and in collaboration with artists such as Ron D. Core, Rob Gee, Omar Santana, Lenny Dee and more. In 2001, Dj Demigod celebrated his 10th mix-tape release entitled "United States of Hardcore Volume II." Although Dj Demigod has more or less had to rely solely on independent dance music stores for distribution, he has nevertheless managed a very impressive set of sales figures for his mix sets. Although Dj demigod's past is impressive indeed, it is his future that holds the most promise and potential. Projects released include the third volume of the "United States of Hardcore" which debuted at the "Area 51"" massive in S.F.. Also released is a double CD project on N.Y.’s The Music Cartel entitled "Ruff Beats One Step Back." Dj Demigod showcases a megamix on the first CD while Lenny Dee presents a compilation on the second CD. Also in release is "Industrial Fucking Strength 4" on Industrial Strength Records. Dj Demigod has the most tracks on the CD out of all the artists representd. Already the "IFS4" is critically acclaimed and played by the best DJ’s in the world. A CD planned for a winter release is a compilation Dj Demigod is putting together for System Records. This yet untitled CD project will feature the very best of System Records circa 1996-2006. Perhaps the most unique project Dj Demigod has released, is the cult classic Hollywood film entitled "From Hell" which debuted at #1 on Oct 19th. This remake of the "Jack the Ripper" story features original beats written and produced by Dj Demigod. The movie stars two of the world's most renowned superstars, Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. Dj Demigod is the first and only Hardcore Dj/Producer to have a music/sound credit in a full length feature film!! With the best yet to come from this veteran of the hardcore techno and rave movement, you can rest assured that Dj Demigod will continue to bring the future of electronic music to the audience of today, as well as tomorrow.
