Open Channel is rooted in a rich history between two long time friends, Ryan Boos and Adam Stolz. The two came up largely in the Electronic music scene in the early 2000s - both cutting their teeth in the DJ world, as well as promoting larger events and afterhours galas. Taking an even longer view in the twenty plus year relationship is their appreciation for music, traveling from Hip-hop to Jazz, and the experimentations of early electronic sound. Open Channel is the algorithm of two different lives coming together in the crossing of experience and music. 

Ryan Boos (vocals, instruments, beats, samples, production) is a freelance writer, typically recording in transit, opting for mobility, and the energy in public spaces. He has been releasing music under the name Nomadic Firs since 2011, with his first record coming out on cassette tape format via Crash Symbols. He has a long list of artists and producers who have remixed his music, most notably ODESZA. 

Adam Stolz (beats, samples, production) is a Chicago resident and DJ, who loves to spend his time combing through an array of record & second-hand stores. He is also a media supervisor for global marketing & creative agency called Havas. Over the years he has been involved with throwing events and promoting the underground music scene in Chicago. His first release was in 2007 on local techno imprint, Prosthetic Pressings. Currently he shares a studio space with Real Estate Records & Elephathaus label boss, Tim Baker.
