DJ and drum-n-bass producer extraordinaire Oscillator, a.k.a. Matthew McKinney, combines the grit of his native Alabama with his advanced education in music to create tunes that are both raw and refined. His first release on Death Brigade Records, “Jigsaw” (alongside collaborators TitanZERO), is a smashing dance-floor stomper that made waves in the underground community long before it was signed.

Heavily influenced by percussion, with an early stint as a standout in his high school’s drum line, Oscillator took his passion in another direction, honing his skills at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in music with a concentration in music technology. Not content to rest on those accomplishments, Oscillator is taking things further, pursuing a master’s of science in music technology from Indiana University and Perdue University at Indianapolis.

His roots in drum-n-bass began at the first exposure to the sound in the late 1990s. In 1999, Oscillator dove headfirst into DJ’ing and soon thereafter into the technical world of production in 2000. In 2001 he teamed up with Fear, who later became his partner in pushing the distinct sound of their project, NerveAgent Recordings.

By 2006 he had caught the ear of the Phoenix-based, globally affiliated MicroTerrorizum crew, sponsored by Wax Museum clothing, and joined the impressive roster of some of the hardest-hitting, darkest collaborative monsters around. With more tunes waiting in the wings, Oscillator is ready to show the world the rest of the tricks up his sleeve.
