Orin Walters aka Afronaught
One of the founder members of the Bugz in the Attic crew. Having come
through the House And Garage scene in the early 90s he's now known primarily
for his work under the alias Afronaught, recording the album 'Shapin Fluid'
for R&S which brought the scene its first true anthem, 'Transcend Me'.
Orin's also one of the main contributors to collective Bugz in the Attic
productions and is one third of Neon Phusion. In addition he's dropped a
steady stream of bullets as Afro Force, Blaktonez, Everyday People, etc on
Bugz own Bitasweet Records, 2000 Black, Main Squeeze, Ubiquity, R&S, Papa,
Talkin' Loud, Emotive, Compost, Laws Of Motion, Yellow, Archive, the list
goes on. As a DJ, he's been all over the world in the past couple of years
spreading the Bugz sound.

89/90 : First started listening to electronic dance music, checking house on
the pirates and early warehouse raves.

9'/92 : Started producing tracks as Spank Da Monkey, Works Of Art and
Obsession and set up Mousetrap Records. Djing on various pirates such as
Power, Girls and Faze ' FM and organising some of the most notorious
warehouse parties while holding residencies at The Astoria, Busby's and
other quality House nights in London.

93/95 : After residing for some time running clubs such as The Shelter and
Kaboom in Chicago with DJs like Derrick Carter, Spencer Kincy, Ralphi
Rosario and Mark Farina he returned to the UK to a residency at Ronnie
Scott's spinning US Garage and House. Around the same time Orin started
working seriously in the studio with fellow DJs Phil Asher (as Blak 'n
Spanish), Daz-I-Kue, Rocky and Diesel, Dom Moir and Booker T for releases on
Mousetrap.

95/96 : Mutual influences, like Smack and MAW, and mutual friend Phil Asher
hooked him up with Seiji and Mousetrap promptly released Seiji's first
Disorient project. Founded new label Suckers Need Bass with the first
release, 'Hear My Call' by Basshook & Friends released in the US on the
legendary Emotive Records.

97 : Closed down Mousetrap Records and affiliated labels after 45 releases.
Seiji brought Alex Phountzi and Kaidi Tatham to the 'Attic' and an already
close group including Scott Clifford and Daz-I-Kue which sparked the
beginning of Bugz in the Attic, now a burgeoning collective of producers,
musicians and DJs which has gone from strength to strength producing tracks,
LPs and remixes for scores of quality labels (see discography).

The last few years have seen Orin moving into new musical territories under
the monikers Afronaught, Neon Phusion (with Kaidi Tatham and Alex Phountzi)
and Everyday People, while USC and Soul Tuition are collaborations harking
back to his House roots.

2002 saw the release of his debut Afronaught LP, Shapin Fluid in addition to
recording and remixing as Afronaught and with Bugz in the Attic among others
(see discography).

2003 has been occupied mostly by DJing and brief stints in Puerto Rico
recording new Afronaught Rican-structions. He'll also be working alongside
Kaidi Tatham and Alex Phountzi for Neon Phusions long overdue 2nd LP.

Soulphonic Soundsystem is a collaboration between multi-instrumentalist
Chauncey Canfield and Transistor Lounge resident DJs Santo & Matthew
Semancik that combines broken beats with live instrumentation including
horns, a rhodes piano and a really sick dose of latin flavor. Their first
12", due for release on February 24, 2004 features vocals from Geri
Lightwood of Supreme Beings of Leisure, and their forthcoming 12"s have
already aroused interest from many of the global taste makers who have
joined us for our events at Transistor Lounge.
