"The beatsmith brothers are both veterans of the hard rock and industrial scene who (much like Skrillex, Bassnectar and Korn's Jonathan Davis) made the transition to the EDM world and began producing their brand of uptempo and electro-infused tracks." - Phoenix New Times
"9 out of 10! So good! Insanely catchy and energetic, and I love the vocals. Supporting." - Alison Golightly, Alchemy Sessions, DI.FM
"Whatever sides of the EDM argument you fall on, this duo seamlessly lead the listener through a musical odyssey that covers significant ground, always stays interesting, and carries you to a very unpredictable and welcome destination." - Rick Jamm, JamSphere.com
"I would compare BeatCircuit’s skills in manipulating the mood of the listener to a very finely tuned trance producer: you never quite know what they’re going to be doing next and how the energy is going to get from A to B." - Rick Jamm, JamSphere.com
"They influence and change the mood of the mix, but you can’t pin your finger on a single beat or a riff change. It’s all very artfully executed. The most surprising thing of all is that this album could even appeal to people that aren’t usually listeners of the EDM or IDM genres!" - Rick Jamm, JamSphere.com

Bio
Having grown up in New
York and furthering their music career in Phoenix, AZ, BeatCircuit (brothers Demian
and Miles Porter) have benefited from
exposure to a wide range of musical styles from an early age and through to the
present. Their father packed his
turntable with the sounds of jazz, rock and fusion, from Miles Davis and
Mahavishnu Orchestra to Frank Zappa and The Grateful
Dead, all of which fostered their early knowledge and appreciation of what good
music and musicians are all about.
As early teens, they made music as members of heavy metal bands in New York
before discovering industrial
music, which developed into a significant inspiration to the progression of
their sound.
Picking up keyboards
changed the way the duo thought about the potential of music completely and
soon after they were making successful
demos and producing and recording in their home studio, completely self-taught. After their first official contract with
Sony Digital Media and the release of their sound library, Toyz: Construction
Kit, they soon decided to permanently switch to
EDM, and thus BeatCircuit was born.
Since then, they’ve
signed with Japanese independent label Beats4DJs Records and been a part of
several successful compilations. Through
their efforts, they caught the attention of the French Olympic ice skating
team, who commissioned them to produce a remix
of Swan Lake to be used in their Free Dance program; an opportunity that gave
BeatCircuit exposure to new fans the
world over.
Their single "Swan
Lake Remixes", featuring the track used in the Olympics, was released June
11th Exclusively on Beats4DJsRecords.com.
Their single “Micro Mystikal” was featured on WiFi PR Group’s Compilation "Indie Anthems Vol. 4" released at SXSW 2014.
Their track “The Waves” was featured on Die Mega Dubstep Compilation from Most Dubstep Records, released in July 2013As for their music, they make use of an array of
samplers, synthesizers and software to create their acclaimed sound, which is often compared to
DJs like Rusko, Zedd, and Datsik. They name bands like Skinny Puppy,
Front 242 and Frontline Assembly as musical inspirations as well as producers
like DJ Spooky, Cold Cut, Glitch Mob and
Bassnectar. The duo is often inspired by everything from current events,
politics, history and technology, to the random
sound bites they simply have to create a song around.
You can find their music through an array of online channels, including iTunes, BeatPort, Amazon, MTV.com, E-music.com, DigitalMusic.com and DJShop.com. You can also hear many of their tracks on their YouTube channel, ReverbNation profile and their album and single pages on Beats4DJsRecords.com.
