It’s a major record deal with one of the most up and coming independent record labels. Brian leaves his own label, Didactic Records and joins Smash Fabric for 2 - 4 years releasing a minimum of 5 singles over the course of that time.

“I”m incredibly excited to work with Smash Fabric. The label and the team are extremely professional and are as dedicated to releasing quality music as I am.” Brian went on to say, “I’m very fortunate to be working with the guys at Smash Fabric and I’m looking forward to the next 4 years. We’re going to put out some great records.”

Brian’s bio:

Brian Roche (born Brian John Roche in 1974) is a US based producer, DJ and artist. His musical passion centers around electronic music but is not limited to this genre. Brian is mainly a producer today, but in the past he has enjoyed success as a very busy DJ.

Originally from Ireland, Brian’s career and DJing have spanned the globe, playing with many of the ‘greats’ in the industry during many high profile events.

Brian was one of a handful of DJs to pioneer internet radio in the United States. Setting the standard for internet radio and breaking barriers for other DJs.

Brian got his first real break warming up in a Dublin (Ireland) night club more than 17 years ago. After relocating to the United States, Brian established long running residencies in some of Boston’s biggest night clubs. Despite being busy almost 52 weeks each year and DJing sometimes 2-3 times each week, Brian still managed to find time to produce big tracks such as, ‘Sexual’ and ‘Kush’ from his first artist album. Sadly, due to a combination of resources, time and commitment Brian was unable to release his artist album on a global scale.

Fast forward 10 years and Brian has re-engaged and revitalized his time in the studio. Armed with the latest tools technology has to offer, Brian has successfully released a slew of successful tracks on his own label across 2008 and 2009. Tracks such as, ‘Bounty Hunter’, ‘The Elbow Room’ and ‘The Chocolate Connoisseurs’ were instant club successes. Brian has recently gone on to release ‘Press Start’, an electro fused dance floor filler and a remix of ‘Harbour Rain’ for The Blue Paper Project on Smash Fabric Records.

Brian continues to enjoy his time in the studio and remains focused on delivering the highest quality electronic music. “At this point in my career, I enjoy the challenge of being in the studio more than playing big shows. I’m always searching for that next great melody or that next great record. I enjoy pushing myself to see what I can come up it. The icing on the cake for me is seeing people’s reactions to my music.”

More than ten years ago, Brian was one of the first DJs to abandon vinyl and DJ entirely from CD’s. His peers said he was crazy, that CD’s would never replace vinyl. We all know how that worked out. DJing from a computer is still a new concept, totally alien to the majority of the DJing community.

Now Brian is pioneering once again, making magic, performing live, mixing and remixing on the fly, breaking down barriers … however you want to describe it, after 14 years, he’s still on top of his game!
