- Merrick Brown has been a dj for 23 years and is behind labels Tektite and Chalant. He is based in Chicago where he continues to produce and DJ a wide range of music from jazz and disco to techno, broken beats and beyond.Merrick Brown has been called many things in his life but boring is not one of them. Now based in Chicago, he is an artist and graphic designer by day and by night, a bit of a music aficionado. Over 20 years ago, Merrick stumbled into a rave and was instantly hooked on the loud frenetic beats. His first forays into DJ'ing began in 1994 with techno, jungle and all things rave. He soon discovered Detroit techno, which remains his biggest influence, and features heavily in his DJ sets to this day. In 1996, he began recording and later releasing records on his own Tektite Recordings and Chalant Music. Both labels have featured an impressive roster of international artists and helped put Texas on the map with a string of timeless underground classics. Merrick was also behind a series of legendary Austin club events, featuring such acts as Jazzanova, John Tejada, Bugz in the Attic, Titonton Duvante, Charles Webster, Recloose, King Britt, and many more, exposing Texas to some fresh sounds. Merrick further refined his DJ skills playing alongside the likes of Derrick May, DJ Surgeon, Matthew Dear, Metro Area, The Hacker.. the list goes on. Merrick continued making his mark on Austin with Get Broke!, the weekly club night at Plush, where he (along with residents Tyler and Wilb) created musical masterpieces out of chaos for almost 5 years. Summer 2007 saw the end of Get Broke! and the start of a new chapter for Merrick and wife Toyacoyah, as they moved to Chicago. In Chicago, Merrick DJs regularly at underground events, bars and clubs such as the legendary Smart Bar. He is known for staying on the cutting edge while remaining rooted in all types of obscure, left-field and influential music of the past. His DJ sets are energetic and spontaneous, with a freeform style guided by constant crowd interaction. He shuns the purist mindset, choosing instead to weave through genres, playing from his wide-range of musical influences to create something entirely new. His excitement for music comes across when he plays along with a sense of humor that frequently wins over even the most challenging audiences. At age 39, with over 20 years in the industry, Merrick has no intention of slowing down. With an album in the works and plans to re-launch Tektite, he is poised to capture new audiences and satisfy dancefloors worldwide with a sound that is truly unique.̸Molecule - Scene Machine [Merrick Brown's Hipster Killa Remix] (Harmonious Discord) Merrick Brown - Swizzle Stick / Gato Gris (Harmonious Discord) Spettro - Family in Mind [Crackanice Treatment] (Chalant Music) Crackanice - Hatchback EP (Safe in Sound) Merrick Brown - Sleek / Gumshoe (Mad Monkey Records / Tektite) Stewart Walker - Stabiles [Merrick Brown Remix] (Tektite Recordings) Merrick Brown - LVBB (Deep4Life Recordings) Merrick Brown - Crime of Stealth (Tektite Recordings) Merrick Brown (as Recept) - Detach [First Array v/a compilation] (Tektite Recordings) Merrick Brown (as Recept) - Design Flaw EP (Tektite Recordings)
