Stemming from the cold American Midwest, Gus & Griz (Nicolas Will and Mason Yarnell) settled into San Francisco with over a decade of production, live performance and record spinning. With a number of album and single releases over the years, the duo came together looking to add some influential sound to the west coast techno scene.

Mason ("Gus") has produced deep and heavy rhythms that have energized the underground industrial scene since 1999. After building a strong catalog albums and remixes on a handful of legendary labels, he began a natural progression into dark, minimal territory, evolving his solid production techniques to create techno with depth, energy and balance.

Nicolas ("Griz"), a Minneapolis native, grew up in the 90's techno scene having been shaped by the influential sounds of Paul Birken, Woody McBride, Frankie Bones, Terry Mullan and Chicago's DJ Deeon. He's been djing and playing live since 1996 and co-founded the successful Numb3rs promotional group which threw numerous warehouse parties in and around the Twin Cities in the late 90's and early 2000's. Currently he has a handful of releases in the UK.

Late night sessions ensued when the two settled in San Francisco and will be releasing their debut on NLMX, a sub-label of Nightlight Music, based in San Francisco.
