Bram van Houtum a.k.a Baramuda, born in Utrecht (the Netherlands), started his musical career when he was 8 years old by playing piano and guitar at his parents place. From this point forward, his passion for music grew and grew.

He knew exactly what he wanted at the age of 12 and chose the style that he liked most of all. He called it ”F*cked Up Funky House”. His first dj set was bought at the age 13, Baramuda started to play house records with a lot of hip hop influences. His passion took over and he locked himself up for days to practice his mixing skills while dreaming of a dj carrier.

At the age of 16, Baramuda decided to follow his dream and started to play at several dj contests. The Lin Q events soonly discovered him; Lin Q is the organization of Alcatraz open air festival. The dream came true, the dj carreer has begon for Baramuda! More bookings followed and he made the crowd go wild with his energetic and fantastic choice for house music.

2008 was a top year for Barramuda his productions where played in countries such as the USA, Argentina, the Netherlands and Russia. His tracks are supported by famous producers such as Erick E, Sidney Samson, Don Diablo, Ricky Rivaro and many more.

2009 is a year of change for Baramuda. He puts more variations in his productions by using the new techno and tech-house sounds that are currently well known in the scene. This change of direction has led to signing several Baramuda EP’s on big and respected international labels! For instance, Baramuda has signed an EP on the well known and respected label _Absolut! Recordings of Koen Groeneveld. Baramuda also made two banger tracks with his production partner Row Sunshine; Rokit Powered (Signed at Made in NL) and Play On (featuring MC Divine (1Management)) which are signed at the well known and worldwide respected Spinnin’ Recordings label.

The remixology of Baramuda also grew in 2009. Kid Massive, Gabriel & Castellon and Youri Donatz aren’t the smallest players in the game that Baramuda remixed! Even though Baramuda is very busy with remixes and production, you can still expect nothing but the best from him! The sound of Baramuda hasn’t changed a bit, it only grew a bit more. You can hear more techno and tech-house influences in his sound but Baramuda hasn’t forgotten his roots: “F*cked Up Funky House”!

2010 brings Baramuda to a whole new level. With his upcoming release on Spinnin' Recordings he has been asked to remix Filthy Rich, Boy 8-Bit and last but not least Milton Channels to name a few not of the smallest players in the dance music industry! 

2011 was another year where Baramuda broke some records. Baramuda got nominated for best DJ Talent Award 2011 by Holland's biggest Dance Radio station SLAM FM! Besides dj-ing he also improved his production skills and released tracks with the likes of Filthy Rich, Carl Tricks, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, DJ Jeroenski and many more! Another reason why 2011 was important for Baramuda is because he started his own imprint: Housepital Records. With already signed the likes of Stefano Noferini, Phunk Investigation, Kid Massive, Bingo Players, Hard Rock Sofa, Franky Rizardo and others you can tell that Baramuda is on all roll!

2012 brings Baramuda several challenges with remixes for the likes of Blacktron and Josh The Funky 1. Also 2012 is the year that his second imprint started called: Twisted Shuffle for the deeper and underground sound for the globe! 

So watch out, Baramuda is taking over!!!

He later evolved his abilties and broadened his musical horizon. Making all kinds of music in nearly every genre and style. This got him into Utrecht School of the Arts in 2009 where he studied to compose, produce and perform music for the media.

After two years of studying there he decided it was time for a different direction and to move more deeply in the actual composition of music. Therefor, in 2012, he started to study composition at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague. Still obviously maintaining a hefty passion for digital music production.

One cold Saturday in 2007, two likeminded personalities decided to combine forces by sticking their heads together to create a track after both having operated solo for over a decade. From that moment, Audiowomb was born.

What started off as a musical try-out, developed rapidly into a concept, a dj team, and above all: a friendship between two musicians.

‘We complement each other very well. Our individual skills and focus, combined with our mutual experience in both mixing and producing, quickly emerged as a powerful combination,' Sten says. ‘From that point on we decided to create all our music under the Audiowomb moniker. Shortly after came the decision to team up as dj's as well.'

Due to their shared passion for deep, raw and hypnotizing sounds, they always strive to integrate that specific ‘Audiowomb sound’ in both their dj sets and their productions.
‘One cannot translate these elements into words,' Jeroen claims. ‘Music is emotion, a gut feeling. A track either has ‘it’, or not.’

'Technological development pushes the growth and progression of the electronic music industry fast forward and has already formed a wide range of different styles and genres. It keeps this music scene dynamic and interesting. We play and create music for the dance floor, without wandering off from our own path. We just want to make people dance: nothing more, nothing less.’

Audiowomb performed alongside: Sasha Carassi, Marco Bailey, Oscar Mulero, Knobs, Steve Rachmad, Pig & Dan, Egbert, Luetzenkirchen, Anton Pieete, Mike Wall, Tom Hades, and many others.

Audiowomb performed at: Studio 80 Amsterdam, Undercurrent - Amsterdam, Chicago Social Club - Amsterdam, Korsakoff - Amsterdam, Boom Chicago - Amsterdam, TWSTd – Amsterdam, Mp3 Live – Amsterdam, Perron - Rotterdam, Catwalk – Rotterdam, Bootleg DJ Café – Rotterdam, Victorie - Alkmaar, Tivoli de Helling - Utrecht, Dock 154 – Utrecht, ACU – Utrecht, Luxor Live - Arnhem, Club Purple – Arnhem, Klup - Groningen, Talent Factory – Den Bosch, De Boulevard – Breda, Fenix – Sittard, Estrado – Harderwijk, Kunstkeller - Giessen (DE), Reitercasino - Herborn (DE), The Corner Shop - London (UK), and many other venues.

"Diversity, originality, and thinking out of the box, that's what it's all about according to DJ/producer J. Flannan (Jorden van Pelt 1981). The Utrecht artist is without any doubt one of the fastest rising stars on the house & techno firmanent with his trademarked sound that smoothly fuses techno, minimal, and technhouse topped off with adventurous twists and leftfield elements.
Needless to say this man is dubbed one of the most appreciated tastemakers in the city's underground...

J. Flannan took his first musical step at the tender age of 5 when he discovered the possibility of making music on his grandmother's organ. A lifelong passion for music was born and after a short stint at playing the guitar, J. Flannan took to turntable rocking in 1998 right after he discovered the art of DJing and also started to make his first bits of electronic productions with a basic DOS-tracker.

Today, J.Flannan's sound has grown out to become a hybrid and experimental fuse of sizzling minimal, tech-house and techno with countless bits of twisted effects and unorthodox turns. Next to a rapidly growing list of studio bombs that more and more often end up in the record bags of respected DJs, J.Flannan has started to work on a live set. After all, it's all about diversity"

"Veelzijdigheid, originaliteit, maar vooral buiten die vermoeiende hokjes denken, dát is waar het volgens J.Flannan (Jorden Flannan van Pelt) allemaal om draait. De Utrechtse DJ/producer mag met recht een van de stad’s meest veelbelovende artiesten op dance gebied worden genoemd met een geheel eigen sound waarin diversiteit , avontuur en lef samenkomen in een energieke flow met scherpe randjes. Niet voor niets wordt hij door kenners geroemd als een van de smaakmakers van de Utrechtse underground…

J. Flannan zette zijn eerste stappen op het muzikale pad al op zeer jonge leeftijd: als 5-jarige levert hij al zijn eerste producties af op het orgel van zijn oma. Een levenslange passie voor muziek is geboren. In de vroege jaren ’90 begint J. Flannan met gitaarspelen, maar zet deze al gauw bij het grofvuil als hij in 1998 in de ban van de draaitafel raakt. Niet lang daarna begint hij ook met het produceren van zijn eigen muziek op een simpele DOS-tracker. Al snel worden zijn muzikale talenten opgemerkt door organisatoren, wat resulteert in een serie spraakmakende gigs op feesten zoals Smeerboel, Snotapen, Altitude 7, Intacto Label Night,Rising Stars en Groenendaal Festival. 

J.Flannan’s sound heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een volwassen en hybride mix met enkel ruimte voor het allerbeste op minimal, tech-house en techno gebied. Maar ook in de studio borrelt het aan alle kanten: naast een serie eigen producties die steeds vaker prominente plekken in de platenkoffers van DJs krijgen is J.Flannan druk bezig met het realiseren van een live-set. Want diversiteit, daar gaat het tenslotte allemaal om."
