Defunct! is the production work of dance style producers- JAKSAW (Bournemouth UK) and VELOX MUSIC (Midlands USA)-...
Jaksaw started his music career in the thriving house scene on England's south coast producing tracks from a secret location in the heart of Bournemouth. It wasn't long before Portsmouth based record label Nitrous discovered his unique brand of electro fused fidget and the first Jaksaw EP was born.
Meanwhile across the Atlantic….
Velox Music has been working as an electronic producer for years under various names and projects. He has been featured on releases with Metropolis Records [KMFDM's album "Brimborium"] going to number 2 in the German Alternative Charts in early 2008. He is also part of The Chrono Logic with Dean Garcia of Sinead O' Conner, The Eurythmics, KGC, and Curve with guest vocals featured by Rose Berlin. He has lived and worked in London England, Seattle Washington and [currently] resides in the Midwest, USA.
Myspace has more and more become a serious weapon for the independent artists as a tool for networking and promotion and it was online that Velox and Jaksaw discovered a mutual love of the bass driven, dancefloor fodder, they now collaborate on... and after a few e-mails, Defunct! was born. The pair have not been put off by the vast stretch of water that separates them and if anything, they have worked harder to come up with some of the freshest sounding and toughest electro around today. Filthy, squelchy and gritty bass lines... tough and chunky beats with those glitchy f**ked up samples, make it nothing short as the order of the day in the Defunct! camp.
Soon to be unleashed through their label Dangerbox recordings, they will keep you up to par with those floor fillers and dirty "underground poptastic" throbs. Keep your ears the floor….Defunct! is here.
They have a debut remix coming out on Nitrous records within the next month (May-June 2008).
Their first EP (Wobble and Twitch EP One), will then be released on Dangerbox Recordings July 25th 2008, with numerous other EP's lined up for release shortly after.
