Miami's Legendary David Noller leader of Dynamix II, is among a very few of the first wave of American electro and bass music artists to have successfully translated their old-school credentials into new-school relevance. The producers behind classic roof-raisers "Bass Generator", "Feel the Bass", "Ignition," and the Gold Release selling over 600,000 units to date "Just Give the DJ a Break," carved out a signature niche in early electro with a kitchen-sink-style megamix approach, amplifying electro's energy level, deepening the low-end, and playing up its robotic themes with ample vocoded vocals.
The group was formed in 1985 by David Noller, a DJ who had just graduated Full Sail School of the Recording Arts in Orlando, Florida, Noller was immediately signed to Bass Station Records to record and release the Gold Record "Just Give the DJ a Break". Dynamix II appeared through a handful of other Miami labels before the pair set up their eponymous imprint in 1985. Although mostly of only local interest beginning in the late '80s, when electro died out in favor of rap, the determined group decided to forge foreward into the future releasing thier "Electro Bass" music and vowing to remain firmly rooted in the underground dance music scene. Nearly a decade later, U.K.-based label Rephlex -- owned by Richard James, aka Aphex Twin -- reissued "Electro Megamix", a collection of Dynamix II Releases from 1985-Present, a non stop all-in-one-place collection of their biggest tunes from over the years, originally released on the Joey Boy label in 1997.
A stream of new material, remixes and colaborations continue to appear from Dynamix II, most of their LPs and singles from throughout the years remain in print and are highly sought after by DJ's worldwide.

Brandon Watkins is one of the original four members of Bang Tech 12. As the owner of Hangar 18 Records in Ypsilanti, Brandon was instrumental in the formative years of Bang Tech 12. The record store was not only a central meeting place, but was also a practice area for each of the DJ's and gave them all a chance to learn from some of the great performers of that time.
Since then, Brandon has moved away from Detroit and currently lives in Florida. The sun and the surf have not affected his ability to produce quality music. This talented musician has been releasing music since 2000 and has two tracks that are now available on the Bang Tech 12 Artist Compilation that debuted at the 2009 D.E.M.F.
Brandon is also an extremely talented DJ that is known for his amazing scratching ability that he obtained from his Hip Hop background. He applies this in many different ways to his sets no matter what style of music he is performing.
