Rod B. & Alvaro Garfunk bring you the Miami Underground MovementTROY PIERCE Biography  Growing up in the quiet farm town of Muncie, Indiana four hours drive from Chicago and Detroit, it was hard to ignore the rich sounds emanating from these House and Techno strongholds. Troy was among the first to pick up on DJs like Derrick Carter, Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin and was always out and about at parties in Detroit, Ohio and across the Midwest. Strangely enough though, he never thought about picking up a pair of headphones himself, preferring to leave the DJ duties to his friends. This way he could fully immerse himself in the music, especially the experimental ambient tones of the after hour chill outs.   This all changed in 1994. He moved to New York to study photography and like every student worth their salt, blew the remainder of his cash on a pair of turntables. He’d been toying with the idea for a while and as luck would have it his flatmate was also the manager of Temple Records so there was an endle

Rod B. & Alvaro Garfunk bring you the Miami Underground MovementMauricio Barembuem (a.k.a. Barem) is a young emerging artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was a music student and a guitar enthusiast since the age of 15. By the age of 19, Barem was fully dedicated to creating electronic music shortly after a trip to Berlin. In 2003, he started djing and performing live sets of minimal techno. Today, Barem's groovy minimal tracks are based around synthetic samples, analog rhythmic elements and hypnotic basslines. Also integrating rhythmic nuances of his native argentinian roots, Barem's work is singularly deep, tracky and heady with a timbral sensibility that is intermittently harmonic. Meanwhile, his sound continues to evolve while he cleverly maintains his own unique style.  In 2006, Barem did extensive world touring throughout Europe, South America and North America. At the year's end, he was ranked as the #4 "best newcomer" in Groove Magazine's annual reader's poll issue.  Now that Barem is a househo

Rod B. & Alvaro Garfunk bring you the Miami Underground MovementWhat's your credo?Where are not many dj's of this type - dj's who believed in techno from the first minute, dj's who have experienced techno from the very beginning, dj's who have made techno their own thing, dj's who have created their own unique styles or even more - who have developed one over the years and who's name's are synonymous with that specific sound. alex bau is one of those dj's. at the same time, however, there are some slight differences with this guy. why focus on just one style of music? why only minimal sounds? why only techno? why, if you could have a well orchestrated combination of both?Is it related to the fact that for alex bau, there was once a time before techno? with thousands of records in a collection that spans through many different types, styles and genres of music, certainly there have been many individual records which have left their own, indelible marks. there's no doubt about that! for instance, alex still

Rod B. & Alvaro Garfunk bring you the Miami Underground MovementRafe started his short but intense road ae road as a house music enthusiastic addict. Then he tried his ideas on producing music, and finally he had the chance to do his turns with his own music as a DJ. Additionally, the new experience as a DJ led him to heavy improvements as a producer.On a quick rising career, the second remix he ever made, Noa Tylo's "Let's Do It", reached 33º on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts. This marked the definite proof that Rafe was ready to boost even the most mainstream music, out from his creative mind.His efforts are, however, completely focused on underground club music. Techy beats on a mix of progressive grooves and solid sequences could define what one will hear when listening to his releases and DJ sets. It's an unique producing style which also shows how he acts as a DJ.Special Thanks to Rafe Nunes    http://www.myspace.com/rafenunes
