ADVERSE REACTION

Hailing from New Jersey, Adverse Reaction (aka Michael Tomaselli) has been involved with quite a few projects. His alias, M'Ocean, has been his artist name for many years and has been successfully producing Progressive House and Tech House tracks for quite some time. AR began his musical journey at a young age as a drummer. While pursing his love for drums/percussion, his interest in technology and electronic music grew as the years progressed. AR loves most genres of music, but he was influenced greatly by the early sounds of electronic bands and he always knew that one day he wanted to be involved in creating electronic music.
Pushing ahead into the mid 90's, AR began to deejay pretty heavily, spinning various avenues of techno and tech house at clubs, parties and misc. events. During that time frame, he started to focus more on the producing end of electronic music and began experimenting with different types of sounds. AR then enrolled and studied Sound Engineering and graduated from The Institute of Audio Research, NYC.
Recently he formed Adverse Reaction as his alter ego. Adverse Reaction focuses more on the Electro/Industrial spectrum. He injects atmosphere, intelligent sound design, synthetic structure, meshed with pulsating/driving, hypnotic rhythm, and overall tight production into his work. You can expect to hear old-school ebm influence intertwined with an updated progressive sound, cinematic sampling, sound fx, distorted vocals, and plenty of hard hitting beats.
History, media, (and all it's propaganda) human behavior, winter months, spooky imagery, fear, inner demons within us all, and everyday real-life situations are some of his inspiration for material. The ideas will continue to grow, stay tuned for more. -AR
