I started out mixing all of the vinyl I had collected at the tender age of 16. By that point I had a healthy stash of 12" singles bought at the local record shops, Waterloo and Sound Exchange in Austin, Texas. It was 1990 and I had no idea where my fascination with mixing records would eventually lead me.

When the birth of the Austin rave scene happened in 1992 after a passionate couple of ravers from San Francisco moved to my home city, I was right there in the thick of it and quickly became one of Austin's most successful DJ's, playing at a majority of the events happening in the capital city.

When by chance, in 1994, a guy named Daniel Foreman who was about to open a club in Austin showed up to a warehouse party that the other prominent DJ's of Austin's underground scene and I were playing at, the unlikely birth of Proteus happened. I was one of the resident DJs at Proteus for several years and became even more well known and in demand. Proteus is still, after 20 years, notoriously known as one of Austin's  most loved and influential nightclubs ever.

While all of this was going on, I was honing my production skills as well, eventually attending and graduating from Pyramind, a music production, theory, and business school in San Francisco. This led to my music being released worldwide by  record labels such as Harmonious Discord Recordings, Whiskey Pickle Records, Denied Music, Fett Recordings, LB Recordings, Alakazam Recordings, MadRat Promotions, SubTech Collective Light, and others.

Many years later, now having lived in San Francisco for over a decade and with the incredible success of my production work, I have begun my own record label, Subplot Recordings in order to influence your mind and control your body on the dance floor, wherever that may be.

Igor Kauric is an eclectic performer and songwriter whose musical output lies behind several monikers, stage names and pseudonyms.&#13;
&#13;
Hailing from Croatia, Igor set out to pursue his interest in art and multimedia, refusing to get stuck in a box and giving a voice to all the different creative directions he felt like exploring.&#13;
&#13;
The young Igor has been fascinated by the art of sound since a very tender age: Things have gone a long way since he first started stomping and slamming around the place. Those primordial percussions left room for piano lesson, guitar and much more.&#13;
&#13;
There is a very old proverb that goes around within music business circle, sounding something along these lines: “The best composer does not invent. The best composer borrows”. &#13;
It might sound like a mean backstab at first, but if you stop for a minute and consider it, this saying holds a lot of truth, more so than you could probably believe. &#13;
&#13;
Every single living human to dwell on this here planet, at any given time in history, has been influenced by his own environment.  Culture, entertainment, social conventions…all of these variables are deeply routed within our way of understanding and interpreting our reality. What we feel, what we see, what we experience goes on to influence our sensibility. &#13;
The more you are willing to get out of your “little box”, in the words of Pete Seeger, the more you will be exposed to something different and unique. Diverse cultures, different mindset, different thinking, different living.&#13;
&#13;
The way music moves, changes and evolves is a mirror of this process: So many artists simply focus all their energy and effort into one single genre,  often at the risk to produce pale, bad, bland  and meaningless imitations of what they focus on, with no significant  power or value.&#13;
&#13;
On the other hand, there are artists with an eclectic approach,  just like Igor Kauric.&#13;
&#13;
 Artists like Igor manage to create music according to their own, original perspective, blending influences as diverse as their personal experience go. In Igor’s case, he set out to express his fondness for being diverse and kaleidoscopic through a wide range of project, not only musical acts, but also production portals and online communities.&#13;

&#13;
Each one of these project keep up with Igor’s hunger for diversity within his musical output, pushing his sound towards three well defined different directions. There is a common footprint, a common spark that almost feels like Igor’s own signature throughout all these different projects, yet each project truly stands out as a new, independent entity.&#13;

Harmonious Discord Recordings has been the purveyor of offbeat melodies for DJ’s and producers “in-the-know” for over 20 years. Founded in 2001 by Moon Magnet productions front men Sean Anderson, Brad Denton, and David Brown; HD’s aim has been to provide a musical outlet for artists that continue to defy convention at every opportunity. Harmonious Discord’s name was devised to represent a collective rebellion against the sea of mediocre and brainless music polluting the airwaves. Its motto “Cacophony at its Finest” displays the contrast of what some view as noise (or cacophony) and what others view as music. The beauty of music is that it is subjective and the brilliance lies with the listener. We have strived in our 10 year run to combine the innovative and legendary sounds of Jazz and the new and basic sounds of the tech revolution, which is represented in our logo (a martini glass w/ sprocket).

Originally a vinyl only media Harmonious Discord released its first vinyl record in January of 2002 with a premier release by two of Harmonious Discords home-based artists; Ahman (David Brown) and newly added artist Litex (Eric Reeves). The project received warm regards but did not make a huge splash in the electronic music community. It wasn’t till their second release, a techy offbeat two tracker by Austin native Merrick Brown, that HD was written into the books of dance music history. The second release was canned by DJ notables from all over the world and quickly rose to the top of the balance chart. In 2003 we saw another huge hit with the release of Grey’s first HD release titled “Naughty Glances” and the floor filling remix by Seattle’s own Jacob London. The vinyl only production continued until 2007 when Harmonious Discord decided to embrace the digital revolution and joined forces with Beatport, the industries leader in digital distribution. Many years later our family has grown to encompass artists like Chakaharta and Patchen Preston who have forged a solid foundation using Harmonious Discord as their main production outlet. Harmonious Discord has forged onward with digital releases that span multiple genre’s and showcase some of the most forward thinking artists in today’s electronic music landscape.
