Scarecrow, aka Jason Leite has been producing Underground Electronic Music for 15 years, in various incarnations. Having been heavily influenced by the sounds of late 80's Hip-Hop, 70's Funk & early 90's UK Hardcore & Jungle / Drum & Bass music. He made the determined leap into DJing & production. Channelling artists such as Photek, Source Direct, Dom & Roland, DJ Trace & labels including: Reinforced, NO-U Turn, Ram & Metalheads. The natural progression from Jungle and Drum & Bass led to Dubstep & the production of the more experimental styles of Electronic Music.
In 2003 he formed 'Search & Destroy' with good
friend: Prior, a project to champion the darker, harder, more
Jungle-influenced Dubstep / Breakstep sound at the
time.
This led to the creation of their own label:
'Destructive Recordings' in 2004. Pushing artists such as the
revered Toasty Boy, Quiet Storm, Elemental, Reso, early Skream
vibes & many more artists from the surrounding scenes, trying to
push the music Forward >>.
His love of the darker side of electronic music
led him to create: 'Scarecrow', focusing on the more experimental
facet of the Hardcore Continuum.
Now releasing his own material via the new
imprint: 'Mandrax Recordings'.
