Brothers Demian and Miles began making music in their early teens as members of heavy metal bands in New York. After relocating to Arizona in the mid 90's they dove headlong into the underground industrial music scene, and began learning how to record and produce their own music.
Their first demo received praise from local DJs, which led to the establishment of Diencephalon Productions, the brothers' private home recording studio. Here they could create the music they loved, mainly electronic, without the time constraints of a traditional commercial studio. During this time they began recording and producing a variety of artists and genres; from Ambient to Electro-punk to Rap/Hip-Hop, from DJs to Singer/Songwriters to Cover Bands, all the while honing their production skills and becoming completely self-taught.
In the early 2000's, a chance meeting at a day job, led to their company's first official contract, when Sony Digital Media released their sound library Toyz: Construction Kit, a collection of circuit-bent toy sounds the brothers had created. After continued recording and production of a variety of local AZ artists, they finally decided to begin work on their own project, and BeatCircuit was born. Since releasing their first single and self-produced video "Blast Radius" earlier this year, BeatCircuit has signed with Beats4Djs Records, an independent label from Japan and released their second single “Hello Human”, which is creeping up the dance charts, and a free remix album “Don’t F*@k My S#!t Up”.

EARLY YEARS
He is the youngest child in a family of 3 children. He was raised by his mother in the city of Juarez, Mexico until the family immigrated to El Paso, TX just across the border into the U.S in 1986. From a young age he began singing and entering singing competitions. After immigrating to the U.S. he stayed away from singing and focused on adjusting to the cultural changes of his new community.
He began listening to Reggae Dancehall music in the late 80’s and was heavily influenced by the blend of hip hop and Reggae that was prevalent during this time into the early 90’s. Jamaican artists such as Supercat, Barrington Levy, Buju Banton, Shabba Ranks, as well as Panamanian Reggae artist El General were his biggest influences during these formative years.
MUSICAL CAREER
Empire Soundz
While living in Corpus Christi, TX Sgt. Remo began working with Guyanese born Ali and Jamaican born Mistah Blaze. Ali began his musical career as an aspiring selector in his hometown of Berbice, Guyana. Mistah Blaze began singing and chatting from an early age. The three became the Empire Soundz Crew. They collaborated for several years and recorded a large collection of music in a short period of time under the Empire Soundz Crew. They were heavily rotated in mixtape format and received positive feedback. However, none of these early songs were ever officially released.
The New Mexico Experience
In 2004 Sgt. Remo ended up in Albuquerque, NM where he began working with German/New Mexican sound system owner Don Martin, who would later become like a mentor to him. Don Martin and his Brotherhood Sound System ran a steady session at Burt's Tiki Lounge in Albuquerque during ‘05. At Burt’s Tiki Lounge Remo performed his Empire Soundz songs taking turns with fellow artist Mister Kali. In 2007 Sgt. Remo performed with Mr. Kali at the Santa Fe Musik Festival. This was Remo’s first experience on a festival scale.
In late ‘07 and early ‘08 Sgt. Remo & Mister Kali performed regularly in the southwest and built a solid fan base which led to many successful shows culminating with a spring tour with Original General Smiley (from hall of fame duo "Michigan & Smiley"). On this tour they performed in various cities in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. In 2010 Sgt. Remo was featured in Mister Kali's debut album "Step Fast" with the song "Loving Loving," a remake of an earlier Sgt. Remo Empire Soundz combination tune. This version of "Loving Loving" was Sgt. Remo's first official release.
Jah Yutes Entertainment
In 2009 he relocated to San Diego, CA. Sgt. Remo continued to perform various shows in the fertile Reggae lands of California working with TRC Sound System (San Diego) and Majestik Sounds (San Luis Obispo). After moving to Houston, TX in 2011 Sgt. Remo formed the label Jah Yutes Entertainment and worked with Ceremony Studios and Dread I Arts to release the album "Reggae SoulJahs Worldwide Vol. 1". This compilation album was the first project on the newly formed label and featured the music of General Smiley (Michigan & Smiley), Ken Serious (Flames Crew), Mister Kali, Sgt. Remo, and DJ Yahru El Guru. They promoted the album with the Reggae SoulJahs Worldwide Camouflage tour (a 12 city US tour in the summer of 2011 in the states of TX, NM, CO, NE, IL, WI, OH, MA, NY, VA).
Today & Tomorrow
In 2012 Sgt. Remo released his first solo EP entitled Life is for Living on the Jah Yutes Entertainment label. He released various singles on the Serious Love Riddim album (One Shot MX), Shepherd Riddim album (Charlie’s Records), and the Maya Riddim album (Hotta Lava Music), as well as the single Dawtah released on the his label. Sgt. Remo had long wished to enter the expanding Reggae scene in the the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America. He was able to accomplish this during 2012 with releases on the Serious Love Riddim and Maya Riddim albums which featured a long list of the major reggae artist in Latin America. His collaborations with various producers has opened up new markets for his music. El Artillero Productions’ Pedro Hernandez (Serious Love Riddim, Dawtah) is a Cuban native based out of St. Petersburg, FL. Charlie’s Records’ Mcpullish (Revolutionary, Shepherd Riddim) is a highly regarded dub producer based out of Austin, TX. Hotta Lava Music’s Jah Fabio (Maya Riddim) is one of Mexico’s most recognized reggae artists and is based out of Guadalajara, MX. Dread I Arts’ producer, and Sgt.
