Brendan M Gillen

Interdimensional Transmissions, Ann Arbor, USA

Ann Arbor sits about 40 miles away from Detroit, it's rough and tumble older brother. And the city stands proud as home of Brendan M. Gillen, better known as BMG - the man in charge of the Interdimensional Transmissions label and Ectomorph - two dynamic, long-standing Michigan institutions. Little is known about Gillen's private life. Upholding the Detroit tradition of obfuscation, he seems to keep all things that are not directly linked to his music shrouded in mystery. But who cares if we don't know what toppings he prefers on his pizza? What we do know is that this man was - and is - responsible for the re-emergence of electro. His label was behind the release of I-f's Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass - a huge hit with influential DJs such as Sven Väth and Dave Clarke, regarded as the tune that put electro back on everyone's playlist. As of late, you might find Gillen giving vinyl and laptop DJ performances as BMG of Ectomorph.
