The Unknown DJ, born Andre Manuel, is one of the pioneers of West Coast hip-hop. He started as a DJ back in the early 80´s spinning records in Lonzo´s Eve after Dark. In 1984 he first appeared along with Dr. Dre and Daniel Sofer on the title "Rhythm Rock Rap" puplished on the Saturn Label. Daniel Sofer was the musical mastermind behind this production and shortly after Unknown hired him to work on the first track recorded on his own Techno Hop label called "Beatronic". 

After that Unknown DJ and "Perfect Tommy", which was Daniel Sofers  nickname, produced West Coast Classics like "808 Beats" and "Let´s Jam" together. Darryl Davis aka Lyrrad parted in these productions and did the drawings for the famous picture covers and the Techno Hop Logo. 1986 Unknown DJ produced "6 in the mornin" the first Gangsta Rap with Ice T which was the flipside from "Dog´n the Wax". In 1989 Techno Hop released the last record called "C.M.W - This is Compton". 

1988 Unknown DJ foundet the Techno Kut label which was known for productions like "Basstronic" , "Breakdown", "Unknown´s House" and "X-men series". 

The Unknown DJ continued as a producer for MC Eight's crew Compton´s Most Wanted. He also produced music for artists such as A.L.T., Brownside, H.W.A., Bobby Jimmy, and King Tee.  He gave Yella of the World Class Wreckin Cru his name after a song from Tom Tom Club "Mr. Yellow" and he had idea for the song roaches by Bobby Jimmy and the Critters.

Orginal comment from Unknown: "I conceived, produced, recorded and even did the roach rap on "Roaches" along with Darryl Davis at his home studio after a night of drinking and a phone call to that legend in his own mind Russ Parr (Bobby Jimmy) :+) We gave Russ a few lines and the concept and 5 hours later he and the Critters showed up at Darryl's to drop lyrics on the track he and I made overnight."

He thought it could do no harm, he only wanted to try it once - just to experience it, how was he to know that after the first fix his life would be forever dependant upon this substance, how was he to know that from the moment the needle touched the record he would become a fully fledged Bass Junkie. 

Bingeing on heavy doses of 808 kicks and robotic licks Phil soon invested in two turntables, speakers and a mixer to help feed his insatiable craving for electro and Miami Bass. Before long the Bass Junkie had tested almost every vinyl product on the street, this consumption did not satisfy his habit so in 1987 Phil began to manufacture his own supply 

In his suburban laboratory the Bass Junkie spent many hours testing his own medicine, cutting finely-tuned frequencies, chopping them with pure bass and then mixing in raw, uncut beats, leaving loudspeakers smoking and equalizers peaking. Other addicts were keen to sample the Bass Junkie product and Phil was soon involved with some heavy mobs interested in trafficking his trax including Dynamix II who invited him to Miami for a 3 month bender of Miami Electro Bass in the early `90s. 

With addicts worldwide attempting to score his dope beats, in 1996 Phil began Battle Trax to distribute his brutal brand of bass-fuelled beats. Kids were soon overdosing on large doses of Cybernet Systems, Final Dreams, Industrial Bass Machines and Kronos Devices - all variants of the highly addictive Bass Junkie, traces of which have also been found in other lethal labels including Audio Illusion, Control Tower, Breakin`, Joey Boy, SMB, Touchin` Bass, Remote Audio, Firewire, RGC, Fuel, Satamile, Cyberian Knights Recordings, Electrix, Parallax, Panic Trax, Tellektro, Tranzform, [k]rack-troni[k], Rotters Golf Club, X0X and Dynamix II Records. If you have a problem with low frequency addictions help is at hand, just visit www.bassjunkie.com where our highly trained team are on call to help you kick the habit and rehabilitate yourself seamlessly back into society.
Bass Junkie is available for DJ & live performances as well as remix work.
