In a groundbreaking move, celebrated Australian DJ and producer PhaseOne is spreading his wings with the announcement of his very own record label, Sounds Of Mayhem Recordings. Noted for his skillful fusion of powerful bass music such as dubstep and riddim with the energizing intensity of metal, PhaseOne steps up to champion a unique musical perspective through this endeavor.
The ethos of Sounds Of Mayhem Recordings is etched in the thrilling intersection of bass and metal music, amplifying compositions that stir a sense of wild rebellion. The label’s name encapsulates the vibrant turmoil and unique freedom intrinsic to both genres, standing as a symbol of self-expression and bold creativity.
In an electrifying initiation, the label’s first offering is Sounds Of Mayhem: The Uprising, an 8-track compilation deftly curated by PhaseOne. This project showcases the sounds of several leading talents, including PhaseOne himself, Akeos & Lusumi, Bainbridge & High Zombie, JEANIE & Dino Shadix, DVEight, AVEON, YUSSI & Neotek, as well as a collaborative sonic adventure from Fransis Derelle, CRaymak, Tea Timerz, and Frank Zummo.
“Launching my own record label is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time now, so I’m overjoyed to present Sounds Of Mayhem Recordings. I’ve always loved discovering new music and artists, so unearthing and developing new talent not only makes sense for me, but is also what I’m deeply passionate about. The word ‘mayhem’ means a lot to me – it represents the chaos that both metal and bass music encompass, in the sense that the listener can express themselves freely and let loose a little. This is especially true in a live setting. To me, ‘mayhem’ symbolizes rebellion, freedom, and anarchy – themes that will run strong through everything we do at Sounds Of Mayhem Recordings. I can’t wait to share with you what we have in store.” – Phase One
By establishing Sounds Of Mayhem Recordings, PhaseOne showcases his passion for electronic music culture and the stamp he seeks to leave upon it. As a bastion of the space between powerful bass and metal music, the label is poised to foster a spirit of freedom, rebellion, and anarchic creativity in the music scene.
Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
