Decoding Jesus
I welcome you to The Messiah of Electro Alternative Breaks - Decoding Jesus!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Created in early 1998 by Edgar Montiel, Decoding Jesus is an experimental origination whose musical articulation testifies dexterous use of digital technology. Considering himself an audio surrealist, Edgar Montiel is indeed what he postulates. His work in progress is a fabulous production of Fat rhythmic and caustic noise that is routingly mistaken for fashionable dance music. Mention the word "Techno" and he will look hurt. Influenced by many Euro electronic bands like Depechemode,Duran-Duran, Nitzer-ebb, The Chemical Brothers, The Messiah and more, Decoding Jesus can trace its roots to these artist and still produce a sense of originality through his music. The musical articulation that Decoding Jesus has produced in the real of digital arrangement is considered aggressive and progressive as digits change from 0 to 1. Over some time, Decoding Jesus has ensued its own sound and has given this style of music its own epithet, and that is "Electro Alternative." Having a busy schedule , Decoding Jesus has found the time in sharing its talent with other performers and numerous record labels as well. Edgar is known in the underground scene as a prominent dj/remixer and as an underground performer that not only performs with great style but also with great ability. If any one is lucky in catching a Decoding Jesus performance, one can say that his pounding, Fat 909 rhythm can actually be felt and heard in 3D audio.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Ofcourse I play live. I usually play at underground clubs or at raves. I love playing live, it gives me the opportunity to see how well people respond to Decoding Jesus's fat pounding beats! I believe that the only "real" special moment I have had is when I wear my leather kilt with no shirt ; showing off those gifts God gave me!
