Todd Pharoah aka Pharoah aka SuperNode  came to be in this modern-day and age from his humble beginnings as a vinyl shaman from the secretive land of misfit toys many decades ago. He and all the other rejected souls that were shamelessly cast from the everyday world would congregate every weekend with sonic rituals in dusty dark warehouses, abandoned buildings or anywhere else the broken souls could gather en mass to celebrate without the persecution of those that cast them out of society. While everyone in the real world slept, they would dance together throughout the night until the sun touched the early morning hours. In those days the music that moved them was vivid and dynamic. Completely original soundscapes that would make you forget everything for that moment as you lost yourself in the song as if you were on some unknown aural narcotic. Unfortunately, this hidden paradise was mistakenly discovered by the ones who had discarded the misfit toys in the first place and they were astonished by the wonder and power of this beautiful place the so-called miscreants had created for themselves. Eventually, they started infesting the discarded souls gatherings, hiding in the shadows yearning for the love and happiness they saw in the eyes of all the broken souls. Over time as more and more of the shadowy people slithered their way into this utopian tribe's celebrations, the misfit toys felt an emptiness eating its way through the very fiber of their sanctimonious society and in turn their souls. Before you knew it the passion that once resided in everyone's eyes at these sonic spiritual quests slowly faded into a dull look of UHF static. The misfit toys began to forget why they were there? What were they celebrating? Why was their weekly soul-feeding soiree's becoming more of a burden than a blessing? As the time bore on fewer and fewer of the enlightened would gather together until the shadowy people had splintered the once flourishing tribe once again banishing it from the world it had created to deal with the pains of their beliefs & circumstances. That was about the time our hero, or villain depending who you are talking too, disappeared from all his normal local haunts and happenings. As the scene slowly crumbled into oblivion Supernode traveled the world looking for the vibrations that once filled the listening windows of his being. In his vast travels, he found small isolated underground tribes scattered across the land that also yearned for the return of the sacred rhythms that once unified their consciousness and soul. After decades of traveling this tiny blue marble, One morning he woke with a brilliant moment of clarity. He knew what his destiny was as if touched by the gods themselves. He was to bring the color back into the world of the now monochromatic hiss that today's music had become. To create music that awakens the ears of the masses to the vivid and dramatic music that the vinyl shamans would bless us with so many lifetimes ago. He would become the villain or Arch- Angel of what is considered popular underground music. Genre mattered not as long as it moved their mind, body or soul. So began his quest to unify all the tribes once more through his music. And such is the story of his rebirth as "Supernode" A Sonic hero for us all.

When the Grammy Award winning group Dirty Vegas was founded, nearly 20 years ago, the mold of electronic fused bands was broken. Far more than just two turntables and a microphone, Dirty Vegas was made up of true musicians. Founded by Paul Harris, Steve Smith and Ben Harris the group became, and remains, one of the most recognizable names in dance music. 
 
In 2001 the band’s debut single ‘Days Go By’ appeared in the now-iconic television commercial for Mitsubishi and became a benchmark that set a new model for marketing music in advertising. The single, with its magnetic original video, catapulted Dirty Vegas to Grammy success winning the group Best Dance Recording in 2003, the first year an award was given in that category. 
 
In the rollercoaster two years that followed, the band released their eponymous debut album and headlined their own worldwide tour, in addition to supporting like-minded artists such as Moby, Underworld and Groove Armada. Dirty Vegas went on to sell over 1 million albums and was named No.6 in Billboard Magazine’s “Top selling Electronic artists of the 2000’s”. 
 
Since then Dirty Vegas has gone on to release two subsequent albums with International chart success. 2004’s ‘One’ had the smash single ‘Walk into the Sun’, which hit No.1 on Billboard’s ‘Dance Club’ Single chart, and 2011’s album ‘Electric Love’ their first without original member Ben Harris, reached No.4 on USA iTunes ‘Dance Album’ chart. Dirty Vegas have also licensed music to a plethora of projects such as HBO hit series Girls, LucasFilm Star Wars Kinect and Microsoft, plus their work has been featured on soundtracks for the likes of The O.C, One Tree Hill and Goal.
When not in the studio, Dirty Vegas tours internationally, from DJing in some of the world’s most famous nightclubs, to playing live shows at prestigious festivals (including Ultra Music, Coachella , Glastonbury and SXSW) the band has fans the world-over. One such fan being HRH Prince William, who recently revealed Dirty Vegas as one of his ‘top three bands’ to listen to while feeding his son Prince George. 
Though busy schedules often keep Steve and Paul apart, the duo has managed to spend the last year writing and recording material for their upcoming new album.  “With us being in different countries most of the time, of our writing comes together by working remotely,” says Boston-based Steve Smith. “When we meet up for shows, we’re able to dissect what we like/don’t like and bring the best to the new recordings. Electronic music has finally arrived in modern terms and we're excited by the scope and range of styles out there, we hear new music that inspires us and makes us want to keep pushing ourselves.”
The first of this new material came in 2014 in the shape of their eagerly anticipated EP ‘Let the Night’ (D Vision/Capitol France), their first release on an independent label. The EP reached No.3 on US iTunes ‘Dance Album’ Chart and achieved certified ‘Gold’ Status in Italy. A second single ‘Setting Sun’ followed, along with a remix for Steve Angello, live shows in Italy, France, Ibiza, China, Russia and India, plus they even had the honor of being the first electronic artists to perform at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. “It was a huge honor,” say the duo. “We were the first artists to win the Grammy for the Best Dance Recording category back in 03 so it was fitting to also be the first dance act to perform for them at their museum.”
Fast forward to 2015, and all eyes are now on their fourth album, ‘Photograph’ due out later this year, featuring the new single, ‘Do What You Feel’, and last year’s ‘Let The Night’ and ‘Setting Sun’ alongside eight other brand new tracks, including a reworking of Duran Duran’s ‘Save a Prayer.’
