I’ve been editing stuff here at Buzzsonic.com since 2004 (when the blog began shakily as MBN24.com). I also run iExploreFlorida travel directory and have been known to produce music as the 99th Floor Elevators, (MP3 Store).
I’m what’s loosely known as a Twitter addict, Tweeting about the new music industry, social media and disruptive technology @buzzsonic and travel and digital nomad work @fusiarski and Florida stuff @iexploreflorida . Google me and you’ll find I’m literally sprinkled all over the web and various social media networks. Some horribly neglected, some not.
Here’s some of my most popular Buzzsonic.com blog posts as a slide show. The blog gets close too 100,000 page views a month.
My Klout/Twitter profile. says this:
“Adrian Fusiarski is a specialist. You may not be a celebrity, but within your area of expertise your opinion is second to none. Your content is likely focused around a specific topic or industry with a focused, highly-engaged audience.”
And, “…creates content that is spread throughout their network and drives discussions….generates a high level of engagement from other influencers….generates a steady flow of actions and discussions.”
I enjoyed some major music industry success in the UK in the mid 90s/early noughties having had two Top 40 national chart hits as the 99th Floor Elevators for one time UK Pop Idol judge (and former Simon Cowell mentor) and pop music mogul, Pete Waterman’s PWL Empire.
I also have a history as a fanzine editor (as James Blonde at Time For Action), indie band manager, rock singer, freelance journalist (at the now defunct UK national music weekly Sounds), record label runner (at pioneering Leeds based indie Goth label Rouska Records) and label owner at Buzzsonic Records.
Two of the 99th Floor Elevators tracks, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Hooked’, re-emerged, re-mixed on English dance indie, Toolbox Recordings and are available on most of the main music download platforms. A collection of the best of the ‘I’ll Be There’ remixes are also available via iTunes as downloads and from Amazon.com and CD Baby as a physical CD, courtesy of my own digital record label Buzzsonic Records.
‘Hooked’ was also re-licensed to another UK indie dance label Suesse Records for a package of new house remixes back in 2009. Highlights of which was probably the Ben Preston remix, which was picked up by Grammy nominated DJ/Remixer Stonebridge, for the Armada Records CD compilation ‘The Flavour the Vibe Vol:3′.
Both 99th Floor Elevators biggest hits continue to get remixed and licensed worldwide, ‘Hooked’ most recently (April 2011) getting picked up by Tidy for their latest compilation ‘Hard House Bible’.
The ‘Paul King (Retro Trade Mix)’ of the 99th Floor Elevators ‘I’ll Be There’ appears on the latest Toolbox Recordings collection ‘Toolbox Vol 3: Built To Last’ this month (April 2011) also, mixed by DJ JoJo.
And another revival for 2012 is a spanking new remix of ‘Hooked’ via Toolbox House remixers Nev Scott & Frank Farrell, which you can preview at Beatport. Its part of an album celebrating 21 years of legendary London allnighter Trade, called ‘The Coming of Age’.
