Austro-American DJ / Producer Rodney Hunter is dead-on when he says that he’s been “around the block” more than once. Known for unifying different genres from funk to electro, midtempo to house, dub to hip hop to his very own “Hunter sound”, Yes, Rodney Hunter, also a skilled bass and drum player, has come a long way. His musical career spans 20 years, starting off as a under aged member of the legendary Hip Hop Formation “Moreaus” along side Peter Kruder, DJ DSL and Sugar B in 1988, leading him to launching his own label and production company ‘Uptight / BMG ’ in Vienna, 1994. Due to the massive success of Rodney’s first production project (Leena Conquest – Boundaries, 1994), Rodney instantly established to a world-class producer and travelled around the globe to produce acts for Forth & Broadway, Island Records and Gee Street Records. “It was like a dream come true back then for me, being able to write songs and do remixes for artists like The Rza, Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim’s ‘Freak Power Project, Martine Girault, Doug E Fresh or the Stereo MC’s.. I mean, I grew up in Vienna, Austria , and all of a sudden I’m sitting at Unique Studios in New York, waiting for the A&R man from Def Jam who wants to shop a beat off me for a Jay Z Release. If that isn’t crazy cool, then what is?”
