Among practitioners of the ancient ways "deosil" means movement clockwise, the direction in which the shadow on a sundial shifts as the Sun "moves" across the sky. Deosil is symbolic of life, constructive force, positive energies... ...also happens to be the direction a record spins on a turntable...
A technological mystic in his own right, Chicago born native of Warsaw - Poland, Martin Zawila (pronounced Zaveela) got his musical education in guitar starting at the age of 10. By the age of 17 with folk, blues and classical styles in his tool belt, his aspirations of being a rock guitarist led him down the path of industrial and new wave. Soon after, having discovered the world of techno, he started collecting electronic music in the early 90's.
He now resides and spins in New York City as Deosil after years of playing clubs and parties in Canada as V.M. Transki. His energetic beat-blending skills and creative mixing have also rocked dance floors in countries like Sweden, Poland and of course the USA. His NYC residencies included Gotham Grooves / Homegrown's Tech-Support and NewYork-Tokyo's Gamers Night Groove. Martin has also done numerous Radio show appearances both at CKCU 93.1 and CHUO 89.1 FM in Ottawa; and online at Orbitalgrooves.com and Gotham City Radio on Livesets.com. With two recording/sampling projects for both Austria's Electric Indigo and at FUSE-IN Detroit '05 for Livesets.com/Gotham City Radio behind his belt he is now elbow deep in production. He is currently working on many projects both independent and collaborative and looks forward to many more years of laying down eclectic blends of danceable rhythms for techno, minimal, house and electro fans everywhere.
The sounds he collects and plays nowadays, both innovative and full of robotic funk and brain teasing effects reflect his adopted musical philosophy: Only dead fish swim with the stream... The words he lives by? Technology should remain but an extension of our souls, lest we become just an extension of our own technology.
