Description
REL1 is the alter ego of Jesse Brewer. REL1’s musical tastes have always been very wide and diverse, but his over 12 years of DJ’ing has been strongly rooted and influenced by old school funk and soul mixed with today’s super-engineered bass, distortion, and razor sharp beats. REL1 brings all the elements of an excellent DJ to the table: track selection, strong mixing, cutting, scratching, and more than anything, a fastidious connection with the crowd. Never one to be pigeon-holed by genres you can expect to hear all tempos and forms of high energy beats in his sets. Among his affiliations, REL1 represents one of the oldest UK Breakbeat labels, Mechanoise, as a DJ in the United States and currently is the only American on the roster. He also represents Bombtraxx and BadBwoyBass, two other very well respected (primarily) breakbeat labels and has recently been asked to rep FSOB (Future Sound of Breaks) as well. His string of remix, re-fix, re-edits, and bootlegs have gained him huge attention and acclaim as of late, as they have been featured on several mixes by the worlds top Breakbeat DJs along with paving the way for gigs in Europe and all throughout the United States. Be on the lookout for original releases from this budding producer this year. REL1 currently co-promotes and runs FUZE, a very succesful monthly, multi-genre, night in Atlanta, GA.
