Misturinha began as a secret party at my house on summer 2004, where never more than 20 people exchange medicine, try doing some home-made dope and get stoned. That was then. But the concept of mixturing everything seemed me very fresh and a real good and unpredictable trip. I had a weekly radio program on a non-government organization (Viva Rio) called Efeito Coletivo. Misturinha is weekly and allows download, streaming and podcasting, from time to time some guests plays whatever they want on their 30 minutes. The program has reached more than 80.000 listenners per month in almost 2 1/2 years,  all independent and made a big trade with musicians worldwide.

John Merrick Experience started back in 94 when I  was working at Groovie studio of Ronaldo Pereira (from Supergroove) and met the guys from Planet Hemp. They ask me to produce the B-side of their first demo, so I did some samples, loops and sound-designinng. We use to to hang around so we start jamming and recording: me (Jenner), Tantão, Marcelo D2 (Planet Hemp)and Formigão (Planet Hemp) - it sounds like trip hop (at that time I think the name TRIP HOP even exists).  We called it STONED FUNK. Planet Hemp band signed to Sony Records, 3 months later and became very successful nationwide. Nowadays, Formigão is playing with Spinninghead and Marcelo D2 has a very popular solo carreer. In 99,  I kicked my job and started again John Merrick Experience with Tantão. Lots of gigs in odd places, most of the time in different places in Lapa, for painting artists, junkies, musicians, poets... and at "those multimedia events" . And done some really big gigs most of the time on the breaks between the bands in punk rock/hardcore events. Tantão is a legend, the junkie that people love to hate. And I, well, I´m cool with friends but love to hate people. So we together is very explosive. We split sometimes and then came back til today. I´ve done by myself lots of remixes to lots of friends under the name of John Merrick Experience  and released in December 2005 the track JOHN MERRICK EXPERIENCE IS OVER on V/A CD from Onigono Label called Quieto ! and  in January 2006 a remix to Nervoso on Outracoisa Magazine. January 29th 2007 released Anger is an Energy free download album. On August 20th, 2007 released another free download EP - Shiva is a Punk.

Coming soon.

XXX! started in June 2005, in December 2005 we released the track Aishiteru on a V/A Quieto! CD from Onígono Label. XXX! is Jenner´s electropunk works with girls .

 

Ogã Eletrônico started in 2004 after a John Merrick Experience gig at Superdemo Digital Festival. A tribal mixture, layers of dozens drumloops and noises, a rude sound, heavy and hipnotic. In July 2006, Ogã Eletrônico gig with Donatinho at Paz Eletrônica Festival but this story I can´t tell.

DIY is a joke. Junk videos for lazy people that doesn´t listen to music.
