Brett Johnson - Classic, Cynosure, .Dotbleep
Myspace
Cynosure
With a DJ career that spans nearly 2 decades, Brett Johnson has gained the experience and musical knowledge to be considered a "DJ's DJ". Like his productions, his DJ sets are not bound by any genres. A big believer that a DJ should tell the audience a story, Brett weaves a musical journey full of hope, laughter and drama. His skill behind the turntables has allowed him to play at some of the hottest clubs and festivals in the world. Most recently, in 2009, Brett embarked on a Summer European tour that saw him playing the likes of the notorious clubs Fabric, Watergate, Cocoon and many others!
Brett has remixed high profile artists such as Mark Farina, Robbie Hardkiss, Smash TV, Soul Mechanik, Shur-I-Kan, and Iz and Diz just to name a few. His Bounce EP on Classic Recordings and his hit singles "Temptation and Lies", and "Where Are You Going?" proved that Brett is an electronic music staple not only here in Dallas, but in Texas, and across the globe. Be on the lookout for his forthcoming release on Cynosure, due in April.

Artist: Brett Johnson
Release Title: Missing You
Remixers: Q-Burns Abstract Message, Alland Byallo
Label: EIGHT-TRACKS
Catalog Number: 8TR008
To listen to Brett Johnson's Missing You click HERE.
After years of intense negotiation, EIGHT-TRACKS has finally been able to snag an otherworldly release from our favorite psychedelic warrior, renowned DJ/producer Brett Johnson. Brett should need no introduction with his checkered past of releasing top notch bleeps and booms for labels like Classic Music Company, Freerange, and his own Aesoteric imprint. The last few years has found Brett wandering the globe and evading capture but finally our EIGHT-TRACKS team of techno-investigators were able to track him down at his Dallas-based secret headquarters. The result of this confrontation is "Missing You," a gloriously melancholy cut that successfully bridges Brett's affinity for potent house rhythms, Detroit-bred bass lines, and decidedly deeper intentions. It satisfies that necessary primal groove as it successfully strums the heartstrings.
Imprisoned studio warlock Q-Burns Abstract Message was on hand to complement "Missing You" with a suspiciously spacious remix. Drawing inspiration from a pile of broken King Tubby records, Q-BAM's version rattles within a moisture-soaked cell block, building into an analog epiphany further enhanced through a steaming, dusty spring reverb box. Totally slinky for the dancefloor, it aims to beguile the rarely hypnotized.
San Francisco's KONTROL freak Alland Byallo was also enlisted to provide his magic touch to this already enchanted offering. Byallo's treatment finds pounding machinery giving way to a concrete funk, layers of vocal drones and synth bellows providing an aural blanket sprinkled in shimmering melody. Alland's hefty production strips "Missing You" of its melancholy and trades that for an ominous march, providing peak time fireworks when carefully placed in a DJ's set.
Brett Johnson returns to close out the single, wrestling a Space Bump Dub from his original scheme. Here a steady bounce holds the structure as strident tones confront calming synth pads. The vocal from the original returns, now serving as a warm, reassuring force amidst the digital surroundings. The space between the beats matter here, with the listener/dancer given room to comfortably navigate the exotic sonic landscape. It's deep stuff.
Brett Johnson's original and Space Bump Dub were mastered by C-Rock of Motorcitysoul while the remixes were mastered by EIGHT-TRACKS' own Atnarko. The artwork college is by Kyle Eagle (www.myspace.com/olekyleeagle).
EIGHT-TRACKS welcomes you to embrace Brett Johnson's "Missing You" and its crafty reworks, our first statement of 2010 and an encouraging signal for things to come.
