Brasswork Agency is Justin Rickles, a musician, engineer and event producer from Chicago now making noise in Los Angeles. His style spans widely across different styles of electronic and acoustic music. Brasswork Agency’s unique sound first drew the attention of European DJs with the release of Plastic Smile EP on Plex Records. The EP featured the vocal techno tracks, "Crushed & Shaken," and "I Must Have You." In March 2008 - while he was on DJ and production hiatus as tour manager and sound engineer for a rock band the entire year - Lefthouse Recordings published Brasswork Agency’s luscious ambient tech-house release, Hollywood Rain EP.
January 2009 Justin took on the job as house sound engineer and production supervisor for Avalon Hollywood, running the setup for the worlds biggest electronic musicians and DJs.
Justin Rickles’s career as an electronic musician began when he started DJing and producing music in Buzz Tracker and Reaktor under the name “Sinuous” from 1996-2004. He released vinyl on Dark Techno Records and High Octane Recordings and DJed constantly in the U.S. art and rave scene. Then in 2005 Justin returned to the US after spending time with Open Sound Control and Reaktor developers at Native Instruments’ headquarters in Berlin, and he released For All the Wrong Reasons as the debut for his newest project, Brasswork Agency. He dwelled in the world of IDM and obscure techno with his releases on (o)ndo;music, m3rck Records and his own Auxprocess netlabel until he released the four thick minimal techno tracks of Plastic Smile EP on Plex Records in 2006. Plex then had the track “Crushed & Shaken” remixed by Brasswork Agency, Pappas and Ambitronic then released Plastic Smile Remix EP in 2007. Also in ’06-‘07 Justin worked closely with New Millennium Orchestra of Chicago in 3- and 25-member arrangements and even opened for Z-Trip. They created original works and also collaborated on Justin’s rearrangements of selected works by Beethoven and Shostakovich. Despite the range in style, the signature thick ambience of the Brasswork sound is found in all of this work.
