Biography
Currently based out of Berlin, m50 has just recently relocated from Chicago for the autumn season. He has an adventurous, musical approach to mixing that frequently juxtaposes the experimental with the sensual while spinning a rich tapestry of styles and genres. His recording and production work is even more diverse, with originals and edits ranging from work for modern dance and short film to acid house and dub techno reinterpretations.
His live and DJ performances have taken him as far abroad as Helsinki, Basel, Tokyo, Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. Meanwhile, he’s managed his own program on WNUR FM in Chicago and has contributed sets to stations such as Netmusique, Destroyer.net, DnBRadio, KFAI, WCKS, KCSB, Livesets, WZBC and WLUW. His charts have been featured at Urb, Juno, Beatport, Resident Advisor and BPM Magazine.
This fall, under the Area guise, he’s contributed remixes for Davor on the Detroit-based Matrix imprint and Andrew Duke for Montreal’s Pertin_nce, as well as an original for a music concrete compilation on tonAtom, a German netlabel. Following shortly will be remixes for Brendon Moeller on his new Steadfast imprint, and for Catalepsia on his French label, Metis Recordings, and a debut album early next year.
Feedback on his remix of Steve Poindexter's Maniac:
"Microghetto"
-Campus Paris 93.9 FM's Phat Corner
"Edgy, otherworldly connotations"
-Interstellarsounds, UK
Feedback on his remix of Soultek's Analogueheart:
"A glitchy bass chugger with an absolute killer low end"
-Phonica, UK
"An unfathomable selection of stepped-up dub chords, aquatic production and distorted synths that would mess you up good and proper if you were stooped head-first into a bassbin out in some impossibly glamorous or tanked-up nightclub in your nearest inner city, deep into the night."
-Boomkat, UK
