BIOGRAPHY - OPERON
Operon has been a pillar of the drum'n'bass community in Brisbane (Australia) for over six years now. Alongside partner in crime DJ Erther, Operon was responsible for reviving a dead scene for this UK breakbeat sound in his home town. Lack of exposure to the genre and a poor selection of events compelled Operon to start his own parties which led on to the seminal Brisbane clubbing event 'Rude Bwoyz Monthly'. This dnb institution ran consecutively each and every month for the over five years making Rude Bwoyz the longest running independent club event in Brisbane history! Drum'n'bass in Brisbane is now the strongest its ever been, with scores of talented young djs coming through the ranks and lots of exposure to the sound at many diverse dance events and clubs. His efforts have culminated with top support slots for renowned djs such as LTJ Bukem, Teebee, Aphrodite, Logistics, and Pendulum, as well as a feature mix and interview on major national radio station 'Triple J'.
Also a keen producer; Operon in collaboration with top Brisbane vocalist 'Manta Ray' (My Ninja Lover) has seen his production 'Airports' released on UK label 'Phuzion Records', the 12" promo getting to No.15 on the Juno charts in it's first week! The label is owned and managed by the legendary DJ Nookie, famed for his seminal releases on LTJ Bukem's Good Looking imprint. Operon has a string of 12" releases lined up for 2009 as well as a solid catalogue of digital releases on top liquid and atmospheric labels like 'Fokuz', 'Vibez' and 'Covert Operations'.
Operons most recent project is the establishment of his brand new Australian based drum'n'bass label Golden Orb Records. The label has a release schedule showcasing some top emerging and established talent from both Australia and Europe for exclusive digital release. Look out for the exclusive 'Operon - Airports EP' set for digital release in May (licensing courtesy of Phuzion Records).
Don't forget to tune into the 'Australian Atmospherics' show hosted by Operon every Thursday night night 4-6am (CST : +6 GMT) at www.bassdrive.com - the worlds most popular on-line drum'n'bass radio station!

A - CRIX & OPERON - 'ELEVEN' :
Up-beat liquid drum'n'bass action from a production partnership that was always going to deliver! Teaming up once again after their joint release on Nookies Phuzion records, Italian based Crix and Australia's Operon have combined their skill to come up with a solid dance-floor roller that will please both liquid and jump-up fans alike. Operon provides the tight production in the drums and bass, whilst Crix pushes the musical side with her delicate synth work and jazz influenced chord progressions. The track provides interest with inter-changing musical themes and lead melodies whilst keeping the dance-floor moving with an energetic bass-groove. Look out for more collaboration from these two in the near future.
