Archetype of Black Nation Interview + Audio
Featured interview + 2 deep sets Charles Noel aka Archetype has done for Droidbehavior
Bio:
Charles Noel (Archetype) is founder, president, and primary artist for the 21-22 Corporation.
From its modest beginnings as a cassette-only, industrial breakbeat label, Charles has overseen every aspect of the Corporation's growth and development. He has utilized the label as an outlet for his own artistic growth: as a visual artist in the digital realm, an unacknowledged pioneer of North American drum'n'bass (Monochrome), and a highly-respected tribal techno producer (Archetype).
At the same time, he has also allowed the Corporation to serve as a testing ground for other like-minded artists including Todd Sines, Titonton Duvante, Kevin Kennedy, Morgan Geist, Kevin Moon, and Mike Szewczek.
Since 1998, Charles has performed all over North America, and has made appearances in the UK, Belgium, Germany, and The Czech Republic. In June 2001 he was also featured at the famed Sónar Festival in Barcelona, Spain.
His releases for Black Nation Records (Michigan) and Ongaku (Germany) are only a few among the many in the works; including a mysterious new sublabel strictly for his material as Archetype, called GLYPH.
Charles is also a formidable techno and house DJ, and is co-founder of the ele_mental collective, spearheading several of its more conceptual events.
