NOSMO - FUEL, NIGHTSHADE MUSIC, PROTON RADIO, HOPE RECORDINGS, FORMERLY OF GRAYAREA



Nosmo held a long-standing residency on Chicago’s foremost dance music radio program, “Sonic Boom” on Q101FM, but had his first real taste of the electronic music industry in 2001 with the self-release of “One For The Road / Asleep At The Wheel.” It was originally a collaboration with long-time production partner Kris B. They pressed a small run of white labels, mostly to throw at headlining DJs in the booth when they visited Chicago. Before long the single was being charted by all of the A-List DJ’s and was #1 on Balance Record Pool Chart and Massive Records Import Sales Chart. They created their (now former) band Grayarea and were rapidly signed to Hope Recordings, with much credit given to the success of "One For The Road." Grayarea went on to release several more singles on Hope Recordings, such as “Yewminyst,” featured on Nick Warren’s “Global Undergroud #024 Reykjavik” compilation, and “Gravity” which appeared on Tiesto’s “In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 4.” They also remixed Bedrock’s “Emerald,” Steve Porter’s “Vodka Cranberries,” and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult’s “Dementia 66.” Nosmo also spent time (under the moniker Blueletter) in the studio with D:Fuse producing two versions of his single “Indecision” which appeared on his “Begin” artist album and “People 2" mixed CD. John Digweed featured a live Grayarea set on his hugely popular Kiss FM radio program in the UK in 2003 & they signed with the coveted AM Only booking agency. After Grayarea he has beem producing on his own and collaborating with some truly fantastic DJ/producer/songwriters, including Blake Jarrell, Kris B of Grayarea & Andre Solaris.
