The Rondo Brothers are The Bastard Prince and Diamond Jim, two bay area based multi-instrumentalists, DJs, and producers. They became the Rondo Brothers in 2004 after living in New Orleans for several months working with Galactic on the Ruckus album, and getting into a hotel hot tub with all of their clothes on. 

Having already contributed to various projects through friend Dan The Automator, such as Deltron 3030, Dr Octagon, and Lovage, the Rondo brothers made their own breakthrough album "No Time Left On Earth" which was a clever take on Hawaiian music mixed with beats and electronics. This earned them a spot opening for the Handsome Boy Modeling School White People tour in 2005. They followed up with a second record "Seven Minutes To Midnight." 

Subsequently, the Rondos were invited to join Head Automatica, a side project of Glassjaw frontman Daryl Palumbo. This led them on multiple national tours opening for The Cure, Interpol, Thursday, the Rapture, and more. 

While gaining accomplishments as live musicians, the Rondos also wrote and recorded on dozens of commercial scores, films, and television shows, as well as getting opportunities to turn in remixes for artists such as Lily Allen, Common, the Beatles, Shwayze, Peeping Tom, and others. They’ve scored a series of NFL cartoons and wrote the song “Ocho Cinco” that gave Chad Johnson his now famous legal nickname. 

Now heavily in demand producers, the Rondos produced with Bay Area indie favorites Loquat, nerd core hero MC Lars, as well as tracks for artists such as Scissors For Lefty, Kid Beyond, the Lovemakers, the Matches, and many others. 

In 2008, they were offered a chance to record tracks with metal-guitarist guru F Sean Martin from Hatebreed who was working with legendary bay area MC Motion Man on a project called King Beast - the Rondos and Motion Man hit it off, and the three started working on a new project of their own, the Foreign Globester. 

In 2009, the Rondos finished two album for MC Lars, and currently are working as full-time producers for a side project with up and coming Australian brother duo the Kin, who were introduced to the rondos by producer and collaborator Jack Douglas. 

Also accomplished songwriters, 2010 will see the rondos release a cut of one of their co-writes on the new Galactic album, sung by R&B legend Irma Thomas, as well as a co-write on Alligator Records’ artist Eric Lindell. 

In spring of 2011 the Rondo Brothers released their Foreign Globester album through Oglio/DMAFT records. Later in the spring, they worked on Torches, the Grammy nominated, platinum selling album by Foster the People. .

Andy Hughes is a man on a mission, he quickly became known as a consistent DJ who would throw down a thumping and varied set, suited to the moment, and to the crowd’s every need. Andy’s signature sets of Progressive House filled with energetic and funky twists have garnered devotees across America and beyond. From both US coasts to the UK and Ibiza, where he has received accolades from the press, promoters and punters alike. Andy’s launching pad was treating the neighborhood kids to the latest in pop music both at home and at school before he was 10 years old; he bought his first record when he was 4 years old! A musical background coupled with his eagerness to spread the musical word and Andy was DJing at age thirteen. 

As a member of the prestigious Balance Record Pool, Andy has managed to draw devoted followers from day one. Andy has been a resident DJ at some of Florida’s premier (and infamous) night clubs. Playing to packed houses all over the state at The Club At Firestone, Marz, The Edge, Simon’s in Gainesville just to name a few. At the same time he started conquering the US, becoming a regular in cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Charlotte, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Ottawa, Toronto, New York, Indianapolis and more.

The ascension to making his own music was made and in ‘95 Andy wrote and produced his first track "Yummy" alongside friends Chris Marchese and Chris Hand. In Jan ‘96 the track was picked up by Knight Life Records and then licensed on to Big Time International (Belgium) and re-released with new mixes on Skyway UK where it topped the UK charts. Then a producers dream came true for Andy - it was bootlegged. Yeah! Since then, Andy has moved on to own his own recording studio and record label, taken the old adage "if you want it done right, do it yourself" to heart by starting up his own label, MAFDDAP (Mothers Against Fat Drunk DJs and Producers). Shooting for the stars since it’s inception in 1997, MAFDDAP has received compliment after compliment from record buyers, other DJs and press. In these few years, Andy has managed to pump out over 20 tracks, most all have been licensed to other labels and artists for remixes and mix compilations.

Andy signed mix CD deals with Neurodisc Records out of Fort Lauderdale. Andy’s first CD with Neurodisc “Andy Hughes – Progressive Elements Vol. 1” is the first Neurodisc CD to be distributed through the Capitol Records distribution network throughout the US. Also, Andy’s 2003 track “Gotham City” was featured on MTV’s Real World (Chicago series, episode XI). MTV has since then picked up 13 more of his tracks for the show. More recently, Andy has teamed up with adult film star Victoria Andrews to produce music for her website as well her single “I Want You” which she independently released. Other ventures Andy has finished recently are the release of his latest original track “Thirty Thirty” with remixes. Additionally, Andy Hughes has been Collaborating with Los Angeles DJ Thee-O, as well as Orlando DJ Martin Boss. In 2008, Jeff Belfi “Digital Damage (Andy Hughes and Jaren Skinner rework) was released and distributed through Beatport. In late 2009 Andy remixed the Rokysopp "Trick Trick" remix with co-producer Billy Z. In the future, look forward to more tracks from Andy and some with long time studio partner John Sexton!! Looking at Andy Hughes’s past one can only see the reflection of what is to come.
