Nicolas Matar - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2013

PowerStateFailure is Paul O'Connell. I am an 80's kid and heavily influenced by the new wave synthesised sound that evolved during that era.  I started out DJ'ing in house and techno sounds and was privileged to be involved in both on pirate radio and on the Dublin clubbing scene in the early 90's. I progressed to home studio recording in the noughties and have been playing with synthesizers in my set up for over a decade. I consider myself kind of eclectic when it comes to producing, and my styles vary, depending on the mood. I hope you find something you like. Available for gigs.

The duo formed by the two dj’s started in Geneva, Switzerland where Auri and Djazz met at a young age both inspired by different styles, 

Djazz begun in 1995 with an unrelenting passion for house music, in particular towards the underground that was hitting the vinyl stores and clubs influenced by the Funk, soul and disco. While developing his own style he became in demand notably for the quality of his technique and a confirmed artist amongst some of the best clubs in Switzerland such as (Mad, D Club and Loft) alongside renewed dj’s alike Todd Terry, Lil Louis, Kevin Saunderson, Marshall Jefferson, Sandy Rivera, Dj Pierre, Ron Carroll, Craig Alexander, Knee Deep, Dj Deep, Freddy Turner, Martin Buttrich, Andrea Oliva, Franco Cinelli, Luciano, Mirko Loco, Tolga Fidan, Seth Troxler, Loco Dice, Ultrasone, Dyed Soundorom, Djebali, Gianni Callipari, Mendo, Franck Roger, William Djoko, Bas Ibellini and many more…

Auri on the other hand was passioned by basketball and rap music in the early 90’s. Frequently travelling to America for his passion, he met the decks at the age of 13 dropping underground rap tracks profiling a talented mixing technique. He finally made a first contact with the American electronic scene in Philadelphia in 1995. His style evolved under the influence of the Detroit and New York underground scene gathering a unique sound against counter trends at the time in Europe. He played in various clubs in Switzerland with a handful number of renewed Dj’s and producers.

With 25 years behind them exploring sounds through the evolving of the dance scene, the music of Auri and Djazz carries an extensive alternance of house and electronic beats throughout rooted senses with persistent rhythm and coherence, taking time to pace the dance floor. 

Constantly hunting new frontiers in pursuit of their own unique sound combining past and future. Producers and DJs, Auri and Djazz is a mature and established partnership exploring within their knowledge, altered states of house and sustained electronic rhythms.
