Bodie, the dubstep alias of veteran Jungle/DNB Producer - DJ Mainframe, was created in 2009. His deep bass, hip hop influenced drum work, and colorful use of ghetto whistles have labeled his dubstep as “G step”. It comes as no surprise that the music being made is so full and smooth, Bodie is a native West Coast resident, based in Los Angeles, and has been making Drum N Bass music since 2000.
In the ten years Bodie has been known to the scene as an innovative junglist, Mainframe, his persona has had five vinyl releases from labels that include Jungle Riddim, Foul Play and X13 Recordings.
Mainframe’s mental reign was powerful, taking the Producer-DJ on three European tours, numerous venues all over the country including urbane spots like Miami, New York City, and San Francisco.
The alias Bodie may be built over a well traveled professional, but it is his West Coast base that keeps the ideas floating fresh. With a kindred connection to the So Cal Drum N Bass scene, inspiration is never hard to find. Bodie can frequently be found collaborating with fellow California based DJ, IRay, aka IDro. 40z n 9z, their most recent project, makes regular appearances on his weekly aired radio show, “Tha Armory” found on DnBRadio.com and will soon have a release out through Betamorph Recordings.
Solo, Bodie has been recognized by labels that include Betamorph Recordings, Section 8 Recordings, Subdepth Recordings (UK), Serious War Recordings, Collie Connect Recordings, and Jungle Riddim’s Department of Dub with releases due to be out now.
