Years of unwanted childhood music lessons led Michael Morel to develop an aversion to common instruments like guitars and pianos. Intrigued by the unusual sounds of the didjeridu, his true musical ambitions were sparked when he began playing the ancient Australian wind instrument in 1998. Shortly afterwards, he developed a healthy obsession with drum n’ bass & jungle. Adopting the alias Indidjinous, he began playing didjeridu over other DJ’s live sets using electric guitar pedals to distort the sound.
In 2002 he began experimenting with production, incorporating his didjeridu recordings into many tracks. Citing major influences from Technical Itch, Dom & Roland, Konflict, Paradox, Teebee, Hive and Amit, Indidjinous tunes are cinematic, tribal and dark with an emphasis on variety in drum patterns. His sound spans several styles of D & B including techstep, drumfunk, half-time, experimental and atmospheric. Overtly melodic sounds are almost wholly absent in his productions. Instead he tends toward abstract sci-fi atmospherics, industrial sound effects and dis-harmonic bass lines.
In 2005 he finally took up DJing and was thereafter an active part of the local jungle scenes in Santa Cruz, CA, Washington, DC, New York City and now San Francisco. In 2012 he designed and taught a class introducing electronic music production and didjeridu/aboriginal culture to middle school students. 2012 also saw the emergence of his bi-weekly radio show “The Other Side” on Jungletrain.net where you can hear his unique brand of didjeridu-infused post-apocalyptic swamp funk (all shows are archived).
Known for collaborating with many different artists, in recent years he developed a dedicated partnership with Centaspike of Canberra, Australia. With over 50 tunes released across 11 labels spanning 8 countries, Indidjinous just released a 10 track collaborative LP alongside Centaspike on the notorious Tech Itch Recordings out of Bristol, UK. Production of a follow up LP is currently underway.
