----- Suff-x -----

Suff-x AKA Bryce Elder has sought to push the boundaries of breakbeats in the Pacific Northwest for over ten years and also been featured at gigs alongside Uberzone, Terry 'Atomic' Hooligan, KiloWatts, Tipper, Radioactive Man, Ben Milstein, Kraddy, Dov & Bil Bless and many more luminaries of the breakbeat / electro scenes.
His connection to Muti Music began with a 'Virus Crew' gig that Muti owner 'Dov' played at in 2002, there meeting the very unique and standout talent in the form of Suff-x.
This chance meeting resulted in a few years of back and forth with Suff-x coming down to San Francisco to be featured alongside Radioctive Man AKA Keith Tenniswood, Dov & Kraddy venturing up to Portland and Seattle to play with Suff-x and Terry Hooligan and then sharing the stage that Suff-x put together at the Phoenix Festival that also featured Ben Milstein and Dave Tipper.

Suff-x shows up at gigs with what looks like a regular DJ coffin and when he opens it up reveals one of the most unique live setups most people have seen, setting him well apart form most 'laptop' live sets and DJs alike.
His armada of gear includes two samplers, X/Y controller pads, DJ mixer and a multitude of little gadgets that blink, glow and glitter in nightclub settings.
He juggles tracks, effects, broken tidbits, squiggly snippits, and boogie-down basslines off of his dual samplers set up in battle-style fashion, giving a nod to his turntablist counterparts--the majority of which wouldn't keep up versus a "scratch mode" session on his korg kaoss mixer!

Suff-x Live @ Someday Lounge Portland, Oregon, scratching to his track ' CyberFreq' out on Muti Music.

After Drum & Bass white labels and digital releases on So Broken records, 2006 saw the release of his CybersetFreq & Electro Medicine EP on Muti Music and has gone on to receive huge support on dancefloors domestically and abroad. His track 'Phantasm' was featured on the widely acclaimed compilation CD Clipping Paths. Hear 'Phantasm' featured on the Youtube video of Suff-x playing Live below:


2008 sees Suff-x delving into even more diverse genres, while always keeping it bass-driven and urban.
His new EP, 'Suff-x - Six Pack EP' (Muti012), kicks off with a Dubstep outing,'Belmont Break' and then rolls into the bass and percussion driven Drum & Bass track 'Trunk Nuggets' and from their into deep breakbeat, electro and back into two drum & bass tracks to close things out, this EP is a good taste of even more to come from this diverse producer.
The EP comes with awesome cover art from Phidelity

Clipping Paths Compilation

Clipping Paths is a compilation showcase of the sounds that are moving the west coast at the moment as well as many other areas around USA, including small pockets in Colorado, Texas, Oregon and New York.

The CD ranges from deep urban vibes from Suff-x, Undecided and Vibesquad, to ethereal bass-driven tribal midtempo and Trip Hop from an-ten-nae, Nanda, KiloWatts, Timonkey and Dov, to a crunky mixed genre mid-tempo track from Ooah, that is sure to rock most dancefloors, but deep enough at the same time to prove the perfect segway heading into the deeper territories of IDM, Leftfield and Nugaze inspired tracks from Audiovoid, Kraddy and Slidecamp ending the CD in a very warm and luscious space.

Many of the styles featured have been growing in popularity and seeing large exposure with the emergence of a similar musical tastes in scenes growing in Berlin, San Francisco, London and even Cape Town. This 'newer' sound has partially been an homage by producers to the Hip Hop and Big Beat along with early experimental electronica that they loved in the nineties and bootlegging the hyphe and crunk of the new millennium with the new digital tools and a new production based prowess.

Muti Music is known for finding new and unique talent, this compilation features most of Muti's regular roster and then a group of closely related artists that we are feeling, who are also emerging on labels like Alpha Pup, Interchill Records, Dirtybird and Native State.
This compilation is as fun for a come-down session, a groove and a mingle, a fire warmed cabin or even a hang on the beach, so go and get it for someone for the holidays.

Entheocentric Salon with Alex Grey

You can catch Dov playing tonight at the first occurance of Alex Grey's Entheocentric Salon in San Francisco.
After two succesful years of the event in New York, the salon is finally taking place in San Francisco, info below:

Date & Time: 2007-10-05 8:00 PM
Location: Temple
Entheocentric Salon @ Temple SF
http://myspace.com/entheocentricsalon

An ongoing event for almost 2 years, the Entheocentric Salon - a series of monthly events at CoSM (Alex Grey`s Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors) comes to SF to rally local communities around Visionary Culture. Inspired by the Seventeenth Century French art salons, we incorporated discussion, dance performance and multiple live painters into an all night electronic music party model. Starting the evening with a visionary lecture, gives the events depth with the creative energy from all the artists, sending a wave of cultural satisfaction throughout the party.

The first west coast Entheocentric Salon, the beginning of our new monthly series, hosts Alex and Allyson Grey for a Lecture on AnthropoCoSM: It is through a human lens that we understand our world. Alex Grey has developed unique yet universal symbolism that points to a realm of infinitely interconnected beings. Grey will review the history of AnthropoCoSMic sacred art and architecture and share his most recent visions of CoSM, the Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors. Intending to have a comfortable environment we are limiting the attendance of this lecture to 150 people.

Later, at Temple, we will move the event into a very special club environment - decorated with ancient statues, a temple built using the latest technologies to create an eco-conscious venue ` Temple SF is changing the club standard. Alex and Allyson Grey will be painting live, while artists of different genres, performers and other visual talents will be performing through the 3 rooms of the club.
