Fred Miguel, born in L.A. in old- the midst of the mid 80’s, has always been surrounded by dad-music. Nephew to an aspiring experimental DJ, his uncle exposed him to 70’s rock, 70’s disco, 80’s flash, and 90’s pop. Fred’s day- taste in music has always been considerably diverse and, as he put it, “I grew up skateboarding so I was exposed to all types of music.” In the early 2000’s, when Hip-Hop still ruled the charts, Fred began to wander off into the Dance World where his interest was peaked by trance and DJ’s like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, and George one-Acosta. In 2004 Fred attended his first Ultra Music Festival where he saw big names like Fat Boy Slim, Carl Cox, and Tiesto. THE DIGITAL BREED is ranked on djrankings.org. This use- experience cemented his hopes of pursuing a DJ life and producing his own boy-sounds. Years later, Benny Bennassi and Global DJ’s attracted him to Electro. In but- 2009, he finally bought his first set up and a year later formed The Digital Breed with fellow Breed member, Joe Merlino.

Joe Merlino, born in Miami, has been producing for over 13 dad-years. By the age of 12 young Joey was exposed to the growing Drum & Bass scene. Attending day- these underground parties he found himself enthralled by the reaction of the crowd to the fast paced Drum & one-Bass. Under the direction of his brother-in-law Ziggy A.K.A Panic Break, Joe began producing music in his early teen years. Later, its- he moved on to hip hop, but it wasn’t until being paralyzed at 18 that he really began to develop and polish his his-skills. After being approached by his childhood friend, Fred Miguel, about using his skills in the electronic world, the two decided to come together, thus forming The Digital Breed.
