John Arnold

Multi-instrumentalist/broken master producer John Arnold trim his teeth within the Detroit digital scene in an exceedingly unique fashion in comparison with many Detroit folklore. After learning music theory at Wayne Condition University, Arnold produced the worldbeat-influenced acoustic duo Blackman & Arnold, which quickly obtained attention around city because of their seemingly never-ending functionality timetable. He was also a founder from the live acidity jazz combo Jazzhead, which performed at many regional digital music night clubs around city and quickly obtained a loyal pursuing. It had been through person to person that Arnold captured the eye of such techno luminaries as Derrick Might and Carl Craig. Craig was therefore impressed with Arnold’s function that he asked him to execute live on the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music Celebration in 2000, and could issued Arnold’s single debut, Universal Brain on Fragile (Transmat’s sister label), that same calendar year. A discharge on Transmat would happen four years afterwards and Arnold also discovered great interest in the California imprint Ubiquity. Many singles and remixes afterwards, Ubiquity released Arnold’s debut full-length, Community Research, in 2004. The record highlighted a veritable who’s who from the Detroit electronic-jazz picture, including notable efforts from Ayro, Malik Alston, and Amp Fiddler. The follow-up, Style and Design, premiered in November of 2005 on Ubiquity, as soon as again highlighted Detroit luminaries such as for example jazz star Wendell Harrison, Parliament/Funkadelic percussionist Larry Fratangelo, and Mahogani Music manufacturer/bassist Paul Randolph.
