New York City’s DJ BUTTERFACE (aka Michael Bazini) got his start in 1994 with his “fundustrial” band Dystopia One. They released three full-length albums between None Of The Above Records and Rawkus Entertainment, and performed aggressively throughout the 90′s.

By 2000, he reintroduced himself as DJ Butterface, working as an electronic composer and producer. His music can be heard in video games (Extreme G3, Acclaim Entertainment), local independent films and television shows (CBS NFL / Basketball, MTV Cribs, Room Raiders), and his original compositions have been used for several New York City theatre productions.
DJ Butterface worked extensively with NYC DJ collective/label Vinylholic, and was a resident DJ at B3, their flagship club in the East Village. His current performances include events throughout the New York City area, and regular bookings nationwide in Tucson, AZ; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Miami, FL, and Boston, MA.
DJ Butterface’s latest releases include remixes for Paranoid Social Club’s Two Girls (Vinylholic), and Nadir’s Slave (Bikiniwax). He appears on Martin Bisi’s (Sonic Youth, Helmet, Foetus) new solo album Sirens of the Apocalypse (Black Freighter) and performs backing vocals and keyboards on Bisi’s current tour.
