Time To Track on BBR (May 1st 2016 - Guest mix from PROJECT 313)

Project 313 is the creative collaboration of Detroit based techno producers, Chad Parraghi and Nick Bien. They each made their DJ debut in the 1990’s, and have been performing at underground events, nightclubs and festivals across North America and Europe ever since. During their performances you can expect to hear post-apocalyptic hypnotic sounds that result in an unique aural experience.

In 2007 Chad & Nick the created the full service techno outlet Blank Code. Since then, Blank Code events have been a regular fixture to the Detroit techno community hosting events including: the “Substance Detroit” event series (a Movement Official after hours collaboration with Function of Sandwell District), the “Friendly Integration” event series (a collaboration with the record label Detroit Underground) and the most recent “Scene” event series which has hosted artists such as Luke Slater, DVS1, Silent Servant, Truncate, Rrose, Tommy Four Seven, Brian Sanhaji, Jay Denham, Drumcell and many more. 

In early 2012, Blank Code launched their record label and have consistently released high quality records including originals and remixes by artists such as Drumcell, Audio Injection, Luis Flores, Alberto Pascual, and Bas Mooy to name a few. Project 313 has released their music on Blank Code records and D-Records both based in Detroit. Their Mutate ‘Circle 2′ remix has been supported by artists such as Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Exium, and Brendon Moeller to name a few. Their most recent release on Blank Code came out under the imprint Bodies in Pawn - "Null" compilation with original mixes by Audio Injection, Luis Flores, Mutate and Joel Morgan.

Andrew Wowk is a DJ, producer, radio host, promoter, and writer who has been active in the Eora (Sydney) electronic music scene for over 20 years. First introduced to dance music culture through work experience at community radio station Rhythm FM at age 16, Andrew exudes a passion for and knowledge of music that is the result of years of experience.

As a DJ, Andrew has earned a reputation for refined technical skills and eclectic track selection. His tastes run the gamut of techno, house, breakbeat, drum & bass and jungle, electro, and leftfield electronica, demonstrating a deep respect for the history of dance music, a love for its present, and excitement about its future. But even with such a wide range of music at his disposal, he finds ways to combine these numerous sounds into a cohesive whole. Often focused more on telling a story or creating a particular feeling with his sets, he regularly moves fluidly across stylistic boundaries, preferring to find other similarities between tracks than just their genre.

His intelligent approach to DJing has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists. He has also received international recognition, being invited to play guest sets at Circus Osaka in Japan, DEPTH and Train Car House Party in Seattle, as well as perform on 313.FM in Detroit, WNYU in New York, and provide mixes for Animal Instinct in Berlin, Fnoob Radio, and Error Sessions in the UK.

Outside of club DJing, Andrew also produces music under the alias End User License Agreement, which has been released on labels such as Biotech Recordings, Baroque Recordings, Extra Spicy, Communication Records, Monarch Recordings, and Late Night Music. His remix of Floor Twenty’s “Say My Name” and his original track “Chonk” were both featured in Beatport’s and Juno's best bass music releases from 2021. He also hosts a weekly radio show "Time To Track" on 2SER, regularly writes for both print and online media, and runs events covering the spectrum of underground dance music, featuring previous headliners such as Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Marcus Intalex, Regis, Hodge, Adriana Lopez, Djinn, SNTS, and Nastia Reigel. 

Andrew is passionate about social and political issues and strongly believes in using music as a medium for addressing these issues. Much of the music he loves was originally created in tandem with social, cultural, and political movements, and he believes that contemporary music should also carry a message. To put this into practice, he launched Music For Change, a label which donates 100% of profits from all releases to various charities, alongside Jessica Tassone in 2021. Releases on the label have been supported by international artists such as Dave Clarke, Ani Klang, and Alchemist/Amy Kisnorbo, played on BBC Radio 1, and added to the rotation on local radio stations FBI Radio and 2SER.
