Dynamix II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dynamix II is an electro group founded 1986 in Miami, Florida. The members of the group are David Noller and Scott Weiser, although the original team was David Noller and Lon Alonzo. The duo took their name from the Dynamix mixing board used in the production of their first single.
David got his start spinning in clubs back in the 80's, where he used a vocoder and played samples over dance music using an Emulator. After graduating high school in 1985, David attended the Full Sail School for the Recording Arts in Orlando, Florida where he earned his degree in recording arts. In 1986, he signed to Bass Station Records in Miami, Florida and founded Dynamix II. Noller and Alonzo soon released "Just Give the Dj a Break". Alonzo sold his rights to the work for a pittance. Subsequently, "Just Give the DJ a Break" went gold, selling over 600,000 copies in America to date. Shortly thereafter, David met Scott, who had played piano since the age of six and synthesizers since the early 80's. They decided to build a studio and bring together their collection of drum machines, samplers and analog gear.
Together, Noller and Weiser have released electronic dance albums for over a decade. Vowing to always stay stay true to their underground roots, they comment on their success, stating, " We rely solely on the word of mouth from our fans. Our music has always sold because it is good, not because of some promotional hype". 19 years later, the duo is going through a major revival because of today's resurgence of electro music. Their older classic songs have been sampled by bands like EON, The Cotton Club and The Chemical Brothers. "It's odd," Dynamix II explained, "many of the club kids at the parties we play weren't even born when Just Give the Dj a Break came out in 1987, so many of them have never heard of us and think that we are new."
