简介

BPMF - 1/5 Rancho, 1/3 Prototype, 1/2 Synapse, 100% mutha f*cka Jason Szostek grew up in the musical theater staring in Oliver and ending up in the King and I on Broadway at the age of nine. A year in Hollywood trying to make it as an actor proved to him that his first love was music. Returning home as a teenager he picked up Classical guitar, then a Les Paul. Soon he had a huge collection of effect pedals. Then he got a Yamaha CS 01 synthasizer and it was clear that making new sounds was what he was most attracted to. He sold his guitars and most of his pedals and bought synthesizers. In high school he formed an electronic duo with is freind Steven Wytas. Free World would release cassettes and one was entered by WFCS into CMJ's best unsigned bands competition in 1985 earning them a spot on the Epic Records compilation the following year. 1986 they released their debut album "Amagi" on VSR, an eclectic collection of experimental electronica inspired by underground new wave and industrial music of the 80s. Their follow up "The Tyranny of Culture" was released only after Jason started his own label, TOTC, where he also released a few of his side projects. In 1989 he heard Taylor Dupree interviewed by a freind on WFCS so he called in to talk to him. Sharing many common influences as well as a desire to expand the boundries of electronic music they formed Decameron and over the next two years released two albums on Taylor's Havoc Music. Some of these tracks would appear on early techno compilations under psuedo names. Havoc Music's own compilation "Techno Criminal SubCultures" is where Jason's alter-ego BPMF first appeared in 1991. In early 1993 Dietrich Schoenaemann asked Jason to join their jam session at Taylor's apartment as they had assembled all the classic early 80s analog gear they could and needed all experienced hands on. That fall they released "Acid Technology" on Instinct records and performed their first live show as Prototype 909, that night they also met Abe Duque. Moving to New York Jason met John Selway of Disintegrator and realised they had in common a love for the early electro and new wave sounds. They formed Synapse and created Serotonin Records to bring the funk back and thus the first electro revival was born. In 1994 Abe Duque invited all of his freinds to a back room at the legendary Limelight Club telling them to bring records and gear and be prepared to jam live. The Rancho Relaxo All- Stars would release three albums and tour Europe together, eventually destroying the original Ultraschall in Munich, quite literally tearing the place down. Prototype 909 recorded four albums and played 70 shows. Synapse was the first American electro group to play live in Moscow. BPMF released tracks on Serotonin, Schmer, Instinct, EMF, Tension/Rancho Relaxo Records. In 2000 Jason moved to Philadelphia and went way underground. In 2006 The Rancho Relaxo All-Atars released "The Answer Is Always Yes" and toured Europe. In 2007 BPMF released his first solo album "Parousia Fallacy" and in 2008 Prototype 909 returned with a renunion tour, threatening to but never actually doing more. Recently BPMF has released a number of tracks online and played live for Rizumu in Philadelphia. A DJ megamix of 16 tracks can now be heard on his Voder Records vodercast "Right Now". "Sunyata" is out now on Mélodies Souterraines. Look for BPMF live in 2016 in clubs from Chicago to Berlin.
