Merrick Brown has been called many things in his life but boring is not one of them. Now residing in Chicago (via Austin, Texas) with wife Toyacoyah, and new son, Maurizio, he spends his days as a graphic designer, visual artist, and photographer-- moonlighting as a dj and producer.

Almost 15 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. Soon after moving to Austin 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 by artists like Convextion, Stewart Walker, Jeff Samuel, Fred Giannelli, Ricardo Villalobos, Hakan Lidbo, Spettro, Tim Shumaker, Maetrik and many more.

Merrick was also involved with 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, John Tejada, Metro Area, The Hacker.. the list goes on.

For more than a decade, Merrick played an integral role in the Texas electronic music scene, staying on the cutting edge while remaining rooted in all types of obscure, left-field and influential music of the past. He is known for DJ sets that 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. These days, Merrick's sound includes a heavy dose of dubstep, techno (new and old), electro, broken beats, acid and all sorts of next-level bass music, along with plenty of deep music--moody, soulful, psychedelic. Whatever the situation, his excitement for music comes across along with a sense of humor that wins over even the most challenging audiences.

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.

At age 31, with over 12 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.
