Adelaide, Australia based M4SONIC adds to his already illustrious remixes of Empire Of The Sun (“Alive”) and Adrian Lux (“Damaged”) this lush, anthemic, symphonic progressive house mix. With a background in classical piano, this 21 year old Australian producer discovered the Launchpad when he read an interview with his music idol Deadmau5 entitled “Dance DJs are Glorified Button Pushers”, the article was a typically blunt explanation by Deadmau5 about the ease of modern DJ’ing and the common assumption “by the audience [that] there’s a guy on a laptop up there producing new original tracks on the fly. He uploaded a self made video to YouTube on July 10th, 2012 of his mashup "Weapon” under the moniker M4SONIC, and within less than 3 weeks the video had gone viral with over 1,000,000 views. Subsequent videos of Skrillex’s “Bangarang” and solo demos have received similar acclaim and have a cumulative total of over 5,500,000 views for this genuine bedroom producer. He was approached by Ableton Australia to put on a series of Ableton Live Schools and it was the reaction of a live audience that truly inspired him to step out from behind the camera. M4SONIC performs at Mysteryland USA’s The Boat stage Saturday, May 24 from 4pm-5pm.
