Project 313
Project 313 is the collaboration of Detroit based DJ’s & producers, Chad Parraghi aka CFX and Nick Bien. They each made their debut in the 1990’s and since then have been performing at underground events in North America and Europe. They quickly gained respect for playing a unique style of techno and for the events they held in Kalamazoo, Michigan where the pair met and began their journey into electronic music.
In 2007 they began their collaborative live PA under the newly created alias Project 313. As a live act, Project 313 has shared the stage with techno heavy hitters such as Dan Bell, James Ruskin, Regis, Joel Mull, Ben Sims, Christian Wunsch, Function, Radial, Mark Broom, and Tim Xavier just to name a few. During their sets you can expect to hear a unique blend of dark landscapes and atmospheric explosions on top of real time edits, multiple effects and layered loops that results in a unique aural experience.
Later that year Project 313 along with close friend Corbin Davis combined efforts and created Blank Code. Since then Blank Code has been a regular contributor to the Detroit techno community hosting events including: the “Substance Detroit” event series (a Movement Official after hours), the “Friendly Integration” event series (a collaboration with Detroit Underground) and the most recent “Scene” event series. Currently the crew at Blank Code is focused on launching their record label in 2012, event production, artist management, music production, and hosting a weekly podcast featuring a roster of techno artists from around the globe.
Throughout the years both Chad and Nick have had the opportunity to share the studio with many well known artists gaining valuable knowledge in the production side of electronic music. In 2008 they made their debut on D-records with their original track “Border Patrol” on the Movement 08′ Compilation. In the first half of 2012 they have 2 upcoming remixes on Blank Code Records including the Mutate ‘Circle 2′ remix & The Bodies in Pawn ‘Project 313 edit’ as well as some other projects for their label.
