Section 9 is a two-man dnb production/dj ensemble based out of Chicago, IL. Made up of Jeremy Stacy (aka Aamano) and Alex Borodin (aka Nano), the duo came together in November 2004 when they wrote a remix of the opening theme song to the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV series. Borrowing the name of the special forces unit from the Ghost in the Shell franchise, the two were from that point on known as Section 9. Since then, they have performed regularly around Chicago as members of the Beatdown Chicago crew and the M.I.A. Collective. They have also appeared in Rinse Magazine - a magazine focused on North American DnB.
Jeremy was born & raised in Atlanta, GA and witnessed the scene develop & grow there from back when Evol Intent just a local act and Mayhem was just starting to form the ideas for Shadow Law Recordings. He learned the scene and players by assisting in throwing events like Bad Co's Inside the Machine tour and contributing to websites like us-jungle.com and americandnb.com. He left Atlanta to attend university where he studied writing and computer music composition. He helped organize the World Globalization and Interactive Media Conference in 2002 shortly before moving to London. Returning to the United States as an absolute junkie for dnb, he began to work for Breakbeat Science Recordings and their sister label Orgone. He began throwing a weekly in Manhattan, Crimson Tuesdays, while assisting with Fracture Wednesdays in CT and began building a studio. It was at that time he also joined the Rinse Magazine staff (issue 2). Seeking a change of pace & surroundings, he moved to Chicago in 2004.
Alex Borodin is a true outlaw. An expatriate of Belarus, he moved to the United States in '93 and landed in Atlanta, GA. Incidentally, though around the same crews and collectives as Jeremy, the two never met in Atlanta. Under the name Nano, Alex started to produce dnb and gathered local and international attention with his talent. Thanks to work, in 2003 he found himself in San Fran, developing his technique and studio. Like Jeremy, he moved to Chicago in 2004, again due to work. It was there that he met up with Jeremy at a Noisia show and the two forged a strong friendship and musical partnership from there.
Known for spinning the hardest and most cutting-edge neurofunk around, Section 9 seeks to create the soundscape of the future through use of advanced performance technologies like a modified virtual reality interface glove designed to work with their music, amongst a blend of other hardware & software. Blurring the line between man and machine both musically and physically through performance, Section 9 brings a stack of dubs so large that they rarely play the same tune out twice.
