STREAM ON SOUNDCLOUD

Our primary tools are turntables, laptops, and mixers, but we incorporate all kinds of electronic sound recording and playback methods. With a couple tables worth of equipment, our live mixes are a cacophonous and disorienting collage, spanning a disparate range of sources. Pop songs, musique concrète, endless dance riffs, and classical flourishes are improvised through aleatoric methods and peppered with political commentary. We often refer to our work as low tech as we explore the interplay of modern consumer technology and more antiquated mediums. Trainwreck, DJ sets are improvisational and chaotic but a broken clock is right twice a day. Two different rhythms intersect to create expansive polyrhythms bending the ear to hear various musical textures like a natural ecosystem buried in technology. Our sound gives equal credence to fine art methods and outsider voices, sources, and sensibilities. Classical sounds, hip-hop methods, and punk ideology come together as we gravitate towards the Antidisciplinary school of creativity.Trainwreck, DJ is David Rogers-Berry and Geo SanGiovanni. Rogers-Berry, who goes by DRB when DJing, has studied drums since the age of 10, and DJ’d in various capacities for the last 17 years. His Gothic Americana band o’death have released 4 full-length albums and a myriad of singles and other ephemera to support their touring career, which took the band across most of North America and Europe. DJ Geo is a painter, writer, TV and radio producer, performance artist, and model. He’s written for Casco Bay Weekly, Salt, as well as hosting radio shows on WMPG and WBOR and a performance/visual art program for the Portland Media Center.
