Artist: Andy James
Name: Memou EP
Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, Andy James was inspired by earlier electronic groups like Kraftwerk, New Order, Depeche Mode, Meat Beat Manifesto, Orbital, 808 State, and Underworld. He started to spin records and go to parties regularly in 1998. Some of the DJs he saw then included Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Joel Mull, Cari Lekebusch, and Claude Young. At the time he had no idea who they were, but the records they were playing and the way they were mixing them definitely had an impact on him. Fast forward to 2008, Andy has risen to become one of the Midwest's hardest working techno DJ/producers. Some of the DJs/Producers he has played alongside are Dan Bell, John Tejada, 3 Channels, Ryan Crosson, Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Someone Else, Damian Lazarus, Shawn Rudiman, Dan Curtin, and Stacey Pullen amongst others. Definitely not stranger to the mixtape/cd, Andy has recorded 20+ mixes that you can usually find archived around the global techno community via the internet. Also a self-confessed studio junkie, Andy has been known to lock himself in his bedroom studio for days meticulously working on a single loop or track. Groovy, hypnotic, dynamic, floor-shaking, and always rhythmic are the best words to describe his current sound. In October 2007, Andy released an EP for upstart Ohio net-label Tek-Know entitled Ranos (TEK0001). Both tracks were hits on the dancefloor and were well received by his peers. Summer 2008 looks to be a busy one for Andy as he has a release, entitled Memou, on Argentinian net-label Miniatura plus a couple collaborations and remixes coming out on Klectik and Tek-Know later this year.
