Dean Rodell

.: BIO :.

A true veteran of the underground music scene and no stranger to the world of techno, Dean Rodell first stepped into the electronic music culture back in the early 90s. This soon eventually led him into the production world and by the summer of 2000 he began making loop based techno. Since then he has built up a reputable name for himself with his productions through his two record labels, Unknown Forces and Drumworks, receiving support from established producers like Glenn Wilson, The Liberators and Funk D’Void. Dean has also produced under the aliases of Stortion, Gardel, Elliot Spencer, The Lens, Dogs of Dub, Unknown Audio, WellBalancedMachine and done numerous collaboration works with Jim Fish, Glenn Wilson, Patrik Skoog, Alex Calver and Staffan Ehrlin. Releases can be found on high profile labels such as Compound, Submissions, Pounding Grooves, Humanoid, Goathead, Planet Rhythm & on his own labels UnknownForces, DrumWorks & Subversion.

.: LIVE :.

The progression from the studio to the live environment came after having the opportunity to play at the infamous Fridge Club in Brixton (end of 2003) @ Technosis, this encouraged him to focus more time and effort on doing the live performances. Once armed with the mobile studio and with his knowledge of destroying dancefloors, Dean’s live acts have been pounding Tech floors world wide with the solid percussive journeys we have come to expect from his productions.

.: FUTURE :.

Dean is currently working on a revolutionary new project crossing over with some of the big boys from the drum&bass scene with the likes of Raiden (offkey), Propaganda (offkey) or SPL (freak, lost soul). Find all the latest news on Dean Rodell on his myspace or the subdivision website!
