| DARREN BRANDON "MASTER QUAD" |
IN BLUEBLACKNESS
“Imagine two dj’s that have the capabilities of creating and producing in
extreme outer realms of what most in the industry wouldn’t expect, yet,
they fit perfectly within the music industry’s standards”
Darren “DJ QUAD” Brandon, born in Chicago, Joe “MO-JOE” Glover,
born in Jamaica, were both raised on the southside, and had a love
since childhood for music. “MO-JOE” began dj'ing in high school and
enjoyed playing with dj legends such as Kenny Jason, Farley Keith, Ron
Hardy and other top dj’s. To create more dj'ing opportunities MO-JOE
passed out flyers for Park Avenue Productions, Gucci and Diamond
Corp.“ AM 1390 Junior Achievement Radio” became a excellent
opportunity for his first mix show, molding MO-JOE into the excellent dj
that he is today.
“DJ QUAD” learned to dj through high school friends and later, with the
influence and help of Larry Heard of “Fingers Inc”, he decided to learn
production instead. In 1989, QUAD met up with Sherman Rogers of the
group “North and Clyborn” and they both formed the team of “Black Ice
Productions”. He also formed partnership with Nature Love to open and
run 3 recording studios to credit with a number of indie releases, a host
of remixes, and major label release on the production’s roster.
MO-JOE, and QUAD met up later on in the years, on the whim of MO-
JOE wanting to learn how to use music equipment. From that point, they
created new projects, working with artists such as David Brown, Ginger
Rogers, and Twilite-Tone, to name a few. A test experiment with new
recording software, a song by Natalie Cole, and a character named
“Alan Smithee” all mixed in to make a record heard and played by many
in clubs throughout the world, would form the joint partnership of “IN
BLUEBLACKNESS”. This record created such a buzz, that IN
BLUEBLACKNESS got a call from “ATLANTIC MUSIC GROUP” to do
remixes of the famous artist “Brandy” and “Kanye West” on their song
called “Talk About Our Love”.
IN BLUEBLACKNESS productions are one of the most unique cutting
edge producer-dj teams with a state of calm and humbleness that
makes one wonder; “Do they realize they have become “pioneers” in
dance music??” Well, not to worry, IN BLUEBLACKNESS have a few
more tricks up their sleeve. As much as other dj’s and fans try to
anticipate their next move, MO-JOE and QUAD will no doubt re-invent
the dance without warning, which constantly creates the demand for
their production work and djing skills.
