Beginning with his first album Bingata, DJ Todd Osborn made himself known as an act which could (unlike so many others ) successfully blend a multitude of different acts from old school Motown to modern dance and everything in between — even house and jungle music, and often all in the same song. The same sensibilities run rampant throughout Osborne, although at first listen it’s almost alarming how much he brings back the disco sounds of old, fortunately keeping them in-check so as not to send the listener running for ze hills. Even more impressive is the McGuyver-like skill Osborn put to good use to create all these sounds, like building his own computer (and software) from scratch! Osborn’s bio claims that the songwriter has also “fabricated a video game kiosk out of hospital equipment, and is (finishing up) his hovercraft.” Say what you will about the music; the man behind it is possibly one of the most clever music producers working in the industry today. Get a closer look at the DJ formerly known as Soundmurderer at Red Bull Music Academy Radio.
