Mrfaust999

9 listings in 3 named rooms, over the last three years

Brooklyn has been pretty popular around here lately and for good reason… these djs live that shit, that vibe, those parties, it’s almost every single weekend there’s an underground rave happening somewhere so things haven’t quite changed much since the 90s, that’s for sure.

Born in Brooklyn New York, Clarence grew up in sheep's head Bay Brooklyn in the early 90s. Went to his first Storm Rave and this would start him on this journey just like many of us here. He Started DJing at the age of 15, while many other kids were busy doing anything BUT that. He was different, he chose a different path he says… “My first official gig was at a club called The Purple Lounge on Sheepshead bay Road, And then I started doing little after parties”.

This love affair that he soon discovered with real techno would eventually send him throughout the city to buy vinyl, wherever he could get his hands on it and it always led him to Sonic Groove in Brooklyn at the time (owned by Frankie Bones and Co). There was also a shop on King's Highway called Music Factory where they always had the best deals on budget vinyl there. After getting his collection racked up, he was now known as Mr. Faust 999 and just like anyone else here reading this, that was a VERY special time for New York City and for what we do, now considered just vast memories and dreams if we are even lucky to say that.

The rest of it — two more paragraphs

For those who know him, his sound is heavily influenced by the artist of that time… Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunders, Frankie Bones, Oscar Mulero, also some 90s Synthpop and Darkwave, Portishead, Depeche Mode, Nizer Ebb, Switchblade Symphony and also a splash of Rock influences like Bad Brains, Nirvana, Green Jelly, and Danzig... so we see where that dark, nightime tone comes from. His approach to techno is more of a hypnotic one/classical chords paired up with a little house and soul. “My collective inspiration derives From many factors, Current events, Life changes, And personal growth...” when asked what he thought about the future of techno- “The current minimal and dark sounds coming out of Madrid, Barcelona and Portugal Have caught my attention as of late And it's truly motivating and ahead of its time...”

Mr. Faust 999 currently produces music and its out on all streaming platforms, he is currently signed to Downside Up Records. Being affiliated with various different groups from New York and New Jersey, he’s able to skip up and down north east rocking parties from clubs to hole-in-the-walls, to seedy afterhours and raves. You can find him on Spotify, Bandcamp just to name a few. His new release “Cyber Intercourse” is recently out now on Beatport as well.
