At 17, Complex Theory embarked on a journey he never intended to take. In 1999, his mother gave him his first set of turntables, as an early graduation gift, what she really gave him was the gift of expression. Complex Theory aka Jonathan Reeves began DJing in Columbia, SC. His belief in DJing is, "Im always looking to take constructive criticism, and pointers from anyone. The one thing I learned early on was, if you dont listen to what people have to say, then you will get stale, lose the love, and never push harder." Keeping this in mind, Jonathan began branching out to many other clubs in Columbia, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach, SC. In 2003, Jonathan grew tired of the normal day to day college life and found he might be better suited for other endeavors in the US Army. "I was working full time, sitting in class, and DJing part time to stay afloat.Oh, and drinking. He enlisted, left DJing as a memory, sold his equipment, and immediately deployed to Iraq from Fort Bliss within 2 weeks of arrival as Military Police. Jonathan said "I was so lost. Here I am, just barely able to legally drink, and now I'm holding a rifle in the middle of Baghdad. I didn't know what to think, except just get home.".  In 2005, while stationed in El Paso, TX a chance meeting led Jonathan back to music. In 2005, while in a music forum, he ran into the former owner of Dust Traxx Chicago. Charles and Jonathan became close friends and encouraged Jonathan to begin DJing again with a mutual friend of his. After a 2 year break, Jonathan was once again drawn back into DJing. He began playing several different venues in El Paso, TX. He played anywhere and everywhere he could just to play. In 2006, Jonathan voluntarily deployed once again to Iraq and never touched the decks again. In 2011, after struggles from his combat experiences, a stressful job as a Recruiter, and no healthy outlets, he once again returned to music simply, as he puts it "to find the closest alternative to an adrenaline rush of combat that I get when I crush a set...except without all the explosions, rounds, and heavy ass gear..." He now resides in Columbia, SC, as a disabled combat veteran and married with his 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter...who is already getting the itch to learn. "My son, Mason, must be either standing next to me when I play at home, or directly behind me, or he's pissed...unless I drop a track he digs and then he's jamming and getting down to it..."

El Nomada - An Unruly Rhythmic Alchemist

El Nomada isn't merely an artist; he's an unhinged force of creativity, a wild-eyed father, a visionary composer, and an unrepentant disciple of the musical cosmos. Emerging from the tumultuous crucible of Ponce, Puerto Rico, El Nomada's journey through sound is a maddening testament to the unholy marriage of cultures and genres that have conspired to birth his cacophonous sonic dreamscape.

The Sonic Cauldron

At the gnarled core of El Nomada's musical essence, you'll find a bewitching fusion of styles that gleefully spits in the face of convention. His sound is a demented concoction, an inebriated blend of feverish UK Drum and Bass percussion, the infectious voodoo of Latin Reggaeton, and the shadowy, otherworldly abyss of eclectic synths and bass. This mishmash of musical lunacy lays the bedrock upon which El Nomada scrawls his anarchic musical manifesto.

The Mad King of Drumstep

El Nomada's musical sorcery has thrust upon him the most unholy of titles: "The King of Drumstep," a sordid honor bequeathed to him by the enigmatic UK DJ UMB from GenerationBass. This dubious accolade attests to El Nomada's mastery of alchemical fusion, his relentless pursuit of a sound that is both heretical and electrifying.

Moombahton's Rogue Shaman

El Nomada isn't one to follow the crowd; he gleefully tears down the walls of conformity. He played the role of Pied Piper in the moombahton movement's Kansas City invasion. As the unhinged founder of the Kayceeton guild of Kansas City moombahton madmen, he nurtured a chaotic community of artists who reveled in the lunacy of the genre.

Junglaton: The Sonic Maelstrom

In his relentless quest for musical transmutation, El Nomada birthed his very own beast: Junglaton. This sonic chimera brazenly mates the frenetic tempos of Drum and Bass with the seductive grooves of Moombahton, spawning an auditory hallucination that blurs the lines between reality and madness. The result is a sonic pilgrimage that transcends sanity and leaves listeners awestruck by his audacious foray into uncharted terrain.

Artistry Unbound

El Nomada's artistic pilgrimage knows no boundaries, obeys no laws, and bends to no commercial norms. He's the defiant outlier in a world ruled by the mundane, a mad prophet of unbridled creativity.

A Nomad in Sound

With an unwavering zeal for his craft, El Nomada's music is a fevered odyssey through soundscapes, cultures, and the visceral abyss of emotion. Each composition is a crazed testament to his unquenchable thirst for pushing the limits of what music can be.

Today's Sonic Odyssey

In the present moment, El Nomada continues his frenzied sonic journey, drawing inspiration from the chaos of life itself. His base of operations is none other than the frenetic heart of Kansas City MO, where he leads the charge in the relentless pursuit of musical anarchy. He electrifies audiences with performances that defy categorization and creations that mock the very notion of genre.

El Nomada's music isn't a mere collection of sounds; it's a deranged voyage into the heart of artistic madness, a testament to the unholy power of creativity. Dare to join him on this perilous journey through the dissonant symphony of life.
