Biography

The acid trance project Mephisto Odyssey was formed in late 1993 by Bay Area DJ Mikael Johnston, Barrie Eves, and Orpheos Dejournette. The trio began recording dancefloor favorites such as "Dream of the Black Dahlia," "The Motive," "Get Down," and "Catching the Skinny," and released their debut album (named after their latest single) on the City of Angels label. After being hired to remix Jane's Addiction's "So What!," they were signed to Warner Bros. Records. Josh Camacho, a DJ, then joined the group. An EP, The Lift, was released in the spring of 2000, followed in August by Mephisto Odyssey's major-label debut, The Deep Red Connection. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Mephisto Odyssey are a Trance/House group from California. They were the very first electronic act granted legal permission to do a remix of a Jane's Addiction single, "So What?" and have also remixed songs by Static-X. Mephisto Odyssey was formed by San Francisco bay area musician / producer / sound engineers Mikael Johnston and Orpheos Dejournette in 1993. [1] While signed to Warner Bros. from 1998 to 2002 Johnston and Dejournette, along with their long time friend and collaborator Barrie Eves expanded into the realm of engineering, producing and remixing. While at Warner they worked with various artists sharing the roster. They co-wrote the single "Crash" with Platinum recording artist "Static-X" and appeared in the video, which aired on MTV and a Humble Brothers Remix version is featured on the soundtrack of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. They also did remixes for Los Amigos Invisibles, Static-X and Soul Coughing among others. Arguably their greatest success during the Warner days was their work as co-producers, engineers and remixers for the Jane's Addiction maxi single "So What". The single charted in the Billboard maxi singles chart for 6 weeks.
