Bio

Unwanted childhood piano lessons led Michael Morel to develop a dislike of ordinary instruments and reading music. Intrigued by the unusual sounds of the didjeridu, his true musical inspiration was sparked when he began playing the ancient Australian wind instrument in 1998.

It was around that time when he developed a healthy obsession with drum n’ bass/jungle music and began experimenting with production, incorporating didjeridu into his creations from the start.

His passions fused into a unique performance of future and primitive vibrations – distorted live didjeridu over sets of original tracks.

Citing major influences from drum & bass legends Technical Itch, Dom & Roland, Konflict, Paradox, Teebee, Hive and Amit, Indidjinous tunes are cinematic, tribal and dark with an emphasis on variety in drum patterns. His hybrid analogue/digital sound spans multiple styles including techstep, drumfunk, meditative soundscapes and half-time minimalism. Overtly melodic sounds are rare in his productions. Instead he tends toward abstract sci-fi atmospherics, industrial sound effects and low frequency bass lines.

Indidjinous played an active part in the local jungle scenes in Santa Cruz California, Washington DC, New York City, and San Francisco before moving to London in 2016. You can catch him there live at regular Tech Itch Recordings label nights.

Indidjinous has released over 70 tunes and collaborated with a variety of artists, most notably the infamous Centaspike of Australia. In 2015 the duo released the LP “Primordial Resistance” on Tech Itch Recordings. A second collaborative LP is expected soon.
