OdysseyWerx Music

general info

OdysseyWerx is a hybrid music project which fuses techno music production and recording techniques with live electric guitar, blues and psychedelic rock. The project is a joint effort between rock guitarist and producer/promoter David Long "Dave Odyssey" (formerly of Big Picture / Circle of Steps Productions) and Video Producer and DJ - Patrick Brown "Patrick Brainwerx". Patrick originally DJ'd as "DSL" at the "The Well" since as early as 1994. Patrick produces his own music and has spun along side well known DJs such as Chris Liberator at the WORLD ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL for the years 2000-2002.

David organized the Kizmit music event in 1998 through his prototype 'Big Picture Productions'. He then founded Circle of Steps Productions and later went on to produce over fourty trance/techno/drum and bass events between 2001 and 2004 at "The Buddha Bar" in Ottawa. The series of events launched by David helped to start the careers of a number of well known Ottawa DJs including DJ J Bradley at Front Left Fridays. David also originated the well known all female DJs club event known as "Chicks With Decks".

David's unique series of music events were based on a style of techno and progressive house for which the Ottawa music scene is now commonly accepted as unique in its class. The club nights especially defied the odds and week after week produced steady crowds of trance/techno/drum and bass fans. The use of the term "Front Left" in the legendary "Front Left Fridays" club event refers to the common practice of Ottawa ravers of always meeting at the "Front Left" speaker of the stage at area raves. This provided a way for Ottawa ravers to find each other at large parties in Toronto, Montreal and elsewhere.

OdysseyWerx music is mainly composed from old school techno samples and motifs based on the PLUR movement, the music heard at the series of events produced by Circle of Steps, and tracks played by Patrick Brainwerx. OdysseyWerx music represents this significant period in Ottawa rave music history, going from 1994 to 1999.
