DJ Natural Nate® Record Releases: A Complete Historical Timeline

The official DJ Natural Nate® discography begins with LEGEND in 2009, but the catalog behind that release stretches back to the mid-1990s. Nathaniel R. Lemieux began DJing in the early 1990s, developing his craft on Technics 1200s in Colorado's underground rave and club circuit. By the time he began producing original music, he had already accumulated more than a decade of live performance experience: a foundation that would shape every production decision he made.

The Bruise Your Body Breaks label was established as the vehicle for DJ Natural Nate's original productions. In the years before the first official release, a large archive of completed, mastered productions accumulated, tracks that were pressed to white-label vinyl for live performance use but never commercially distributed. This practice, making music for the dance floor and keeping it there, would define the catalog's operating philosophy from the beginning.

The Roland Fantom F6 workstation synthesizer became the primary production instrument. The Fantom F6 was a flagship Roland instrument of the mid-2000s, combining a 128-voice polyphonic synthesizer with a 16-track sequencer, a built-in sampler, and Roland's V-SYNTH and ARX expansion architecture. Nate used the instrument's synthesis capabilities to build the signature electro bass tones, deep, resonant low-end frequencies, that would define the Bruise Your Body Breaks sound across every subsequent release.

The Colorado underground scene that nurtured this development was centered around Denver and Boulder, with a network of promoters, venues, and DJs who supported the local breakbeat community. Show fliers from this era document appearances at venues across the Front Range, building the live performance reputation that would eventually support the recorded catalog.

"The music is for the people who show up. If you were not at the show, you cannot own the music. That is not a restriction. That is a principle.", DJ Natural Nate®

On June 13, 2009, DJ Natural Nate® released LEGEND: a 21-track cinematic electro breaks album produced entirely on the Roland Fantom F6 workstation. Released on Bruise Your Body Breaks, LEGEND was the first formal statement of the catalog: a full-length album at a time when the EP format dominated digital distribution, a deliberate choice that reflected a deep belief in the long-form listening experience.

LEGEND was distributed through ReverbNation and iTunes: a combination that reflected the transitional moment in music distribution that 2009 represented. ReverbNation had emerged as a powerful platform for independent artists, while iTunes was the dominant digital retail platform of the era. By placing LEGEND on both platforms simultaneously, DJ Natural Nate demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of the digital distribution landscape.

When NuBreaks.com featured LEGEND in the summer of 2009, it represented a significant moment of external validation. NuBreaks.com was, at that time, one of the most authoritative portals for breakbeat music on the internet: a destination where producers and DJs from the UK, Europe, and North America came to discover new music. A feature placement on NuBreaks.com was an editorial endorsement, a signal to the global breakbeat community that this artist and this album were worth paying attention to.

Physical CD copies were produced alongside the digital release. The album circulated through Colorado's underground rave and club circuit, where DJ Natural Nate performed tracks live. LEGEND established the sonic vocabulary: the Roland Fantom F6 bass architecture, the cinematic sweep, the broken rhythmic structures, that would define Nate's work across subsequent decades.

"LEGEND was not built track by track in the conventional sense, it was conceived as a single cinematic statement.", DJ Natural Nate®

The B.Y.B.B. Bangers series was conceived as a recurring compilation format that would celebrate and document the Bruise Your Body Breaks sound in a collaborative context. Rather than a solo album or EP, the Bangers series brought together multiple artists under the BYBB aesthetic umbrella, creating a platform for the broader community of producers who shared the label's commitment to breakbeat, electro breaks, and dance floor functionality.

B.Y.B.B. Bangers Vol. 1 appeared in 2014 on Underground Dance Music, establishing the format. B.Y.B.B. Bangers 2 followed on March 31, 2016: a four-track compilation featuring DJ Natural Nate ("Gonna Break You," "Leaning Back") alongside Mike Devious ("Press Play," "Move Your Ass"). The four-track format was deliberately lean: no filler, no transitional material, just four tracks designed to work in a DJ set.

B.Y.B.B. Bangers Vol. 3 (2016) added "Elektech" to the catalog. B.Y.B.B. Bangers Vol. 4, released May 20, 2016, just seven weeks after Vol. 2, expanded the series into three-way collaborative territory, bringing together DJ Natural Nate®, Mike Devious, and Jiggabot on a single release for the first time. The five tracks included "Into the Blue Zone," "Out of the Blue Zone," "Turn Me On" (Mike Devious), "Let's Go" (Mike Devious), and the standout "Sky Watcher Part 1" (DJ Natural Nate vs Jiggabot): a theme that would reappear in the Test of Time Anthology (2021) as "Sky Watcher 2 - Past The Sky" and "Sky Watcher Intro 1."

The rapid release schedule of 2016, multiple volumes in a single year, reflected a period of intense creative productivity. The Underground Dance Music label's Bandcamp infrastructure made this kind of rapid release cadence possible, allowing the artists to move from completed tracks to released compilation in a matter of weeks.

On June 2, 2015, Underground Music Xperience released Collision Course (BBS001): a double 12" gatefold compilation that marked DJ Natural Nate's first appearance on a European label. The release featured eight tracks across four sides, with DJ Natural Nate contributing "Bounce To This" on Side B1 (6:52). The double-vinyl gatefold format was a statement of intent from the label: this was not a throwaway digital release, it was a physical artifact designed to last.

Collision Course, BBS001, Double 12" Gatefold, Netherlands, June 2, 2015. The turntable imagery on the cover is a direct statement of the label's vinyl-first philosophy.

Underground Music Xperience was a Netherlands-based label operating in the electro breaks and electro bass space: a genre with deep roots in both the American and European underground scenes. The label's catalog number BBS001, Bruise Your Body Breaks 001, confirmed the direct connection between the Dutch label and DJ Natural Nate's own imprint. The Collision Course compilation brought together Paulus8, Dre@ms & Ph@zo@r, DJ Natural Nate, Element Z, G.R.O.V., and Mike Devious: an international roster that reflected the genre's global reach.

The SoundCloud preview page at soundcloud.com/umx-records documented the release for the online community. For DJ Natural Nate, the Collision Course placement was the beginning of a six-release relationship with Underground Music Xperience that would span four years and produce some of the most significant vinyl in his catalog.

Released in February 2017 on Underground Music Xperience (UMX002), Alienation is one of the most visually and sonically striking releases in the DJ Natural Nate catalog. The cover artwork: a stark black-and-white photograph of an industrial underground staircase, shot from below looking up through a metal grate, is among the most memorable in the UMX catalog. The image communicates exactly what the music inside delivers: descent into darkness, industrial texture, and the kind of underground aesthetic that cannot be manufactured.

Natural Nate vs Jiggabot contribute "Electro Freaks" on Side B1: a track that represents the duo's creative partnership at a specific moment in its development. The compilation also features Paulus8 ("Into Darkness," A1), Lectromagnetique ("Bloody Alien," A2), and Paulus8 and Emel ("Unidentified," B2). Mastering was handled by Maarten Blom, whose work on the UMX catalog gave the releases a consistent sonic quality that distinguished them from self-mastered independent releases.

The Alienation release confirmed that the Natural Nate vs Jiggabot collaboration was a recognized entity within the European electro breaks network, not just a Colorado underground project, but an internationally documented creative partnership with a growing vinyl catalog.

Also released in 2017, the Gods & Aliens EP (UMX 004) placed Natural Nate & Jiggabot on Side A1 with "In The Background": the lead track on a four-song 12" that also featured Alavux ("Migrations," A2), Rise Black ("Veneno," B1), and Paulus8 ("Interstellar," B2). The A-side placement of the Nate/Jiggabot track was a statement of the duo's standing within the UMX roster.

The UMX 004 vinyl label: a full-color cosmic design featuring light trails and nebula imagery at 33 RPM, is one of the most visually distinctive in the series. The label design reflected the cosmic, space-exploration aesthetic that runs throughout the DJ Natural Nate catalog: track titles like "Deep Space Empire," "Event Horizon," "Sky Watcher," and "Andromixedup" all point to the same interstellar sensibility. Mastering was again handled by Maarten Blom.

Two UMX releases in a single year, Alienation (February) and Gods & Aliens EP, confirmed that the Netherlands connection was not a one-off placement but an ongoing creative relationship. By the end of 2017, DJ Natural Nate and Jiggabot had three confirmed UMX releases in the catalog.

The Invaders compilation (UMX 010, 2018) marked a significant upgrade in the mastering credentials of the UMX catalog: the release was mastered by David Noller and Oscar Zayas from Dynamix II: the legendary Miami electro group whose influence on the genre is foundational. Having Dynamix II handle mastering duties was not a casual arrangement; it was a direct connection between the Colorado underground and one of the most historically significant names in electro music.

Invaders, UMX 010, Netherlands, 2018. Mastered by David Noller & Oscar Zayas from Dynamix II. Natural Nate vs Jiggabot: "Andromixedup RMX" (B2).

Natural Nate vs Jiggabot contribute the "Andromixedup RMX" on Side B2: a Danny Electro remix that placed the duo within a four-track compilation alongside Danny Electro ("Invasion," A1; "Slow Decay," A2) and AE 35 ("Future Japanese II Metamorphosis," B1). The Andromixedup title: a portmanteau of "Andromeda" and "mixed up", is characteristic of the wordplay that runs through the Nate/Jiggabot catalog.

The Dynamix II mastering connection would continue on the Activate Underground EP (UMX 011), confirming that the relationship between DJ Natural Nate and the Dynamix II camp was a genuine creative alliance, not a one-time arrangement. DJ Natural Nate has documented his admiration for Dynamix II, Todd Walker and David Noller, in multiple contexts, describing meetings with them as among the most significant moments in his career.

The Activate Underground EP (UMX 011, 2018) is the most prominent of the six Underground Music Xperience releases: a four-track 12" that placed DJ Natural Nate Vs Jiggabot on both A-side tracks and DJ Mike Devious on both B-side tracks. The track listing: A1 "Activate The Underground" (DJ Natural Nate Vs Jiggabot), A2 "Lost In This World" (DJ Natural Nate Vs Jiggabot), B1 "Wait A Minute" (Mike Devious), B2 "Saber" (Mike Devious).

Mastering was again handled by Oscar Zayas and David Noller from Dynamix II: the second consecutive UMX release to carry the Dynamix II mastering credit. The EP's title, with its explicit invocation of "the underground," was both a statement of aesthetic allegiance and a nod to the label releasing it. Underground Music Xperience was not a mainstream label; it was a specialist operation serving a specific community, and Activate the Underground EP was made for that community.

The Spotify presence of Activate the Underground EP, confirmed on DJ Natural Nate's artist profile (ID: 1FVkvy6H0uNbWryjaVp73h), gave the release an international reach that earlier Bruise Your Body Breaks releases had not enjoyed. The Beatport listing further extended the EP's reach into the DJ community. For DJ Natural Nate's international profile, the Underground Music Xperience releases represented a significant expansion, placing him within the European electro breaks network and establishing him as an internationally recognized artist within the genre.

The Under The Blood Moon EP (UMX 013, 2019) carries one of the most remarkable origin stories in the DJ Natural Nate catalog: "Beyond The Blood Moon" (A1) was written and recorded on the night of the brightest Blood Moon. The track was not inspired by a Blood Moon in the abstract, it was created in real time, during the astronomical event itself, the music shaped by the specific emotional and atmospheric conditions of that night.

Under The Blood Moon EP, UMX 013, Netherlands, 2019. "Beyond The Blood Moon" was written and recorded on the night of the brightest Blood Moon. The vinyl label carries both the BYBB and UMX imprints.

The four-track EP features DJ Natural Nate Vs Jiggabot on A1 ("Beyond The Blood Moon") and B2 ("I'll Never Leave"), with DJ Mike Devious contributing "Random Drone" (A2) and "Initiate Drone" (B1). The vinyl label features the BYBB logo alongside the UMX imprint: a direct visual confirmation of the Colorado-Netherlands creative alliance.

The Blood Moon origin story is not a marketing detail. It is a document of how DJ Natural Nate works: music made in response to the world as it actually is, in the moment it is happening. The same philosophy that produced show-exclusive white label pressings, music made for a specific time and place, produced a track written under a specific astronomical event. The Under The Blood Moon EP is the sixth and final confirmed UMX release in the catalog, closing a four-year chapter of international vinyl releases that began with Collision Course in 2015.

Released in February 2024 on Hoodwink Records (HDLA-001), co-branded with The-Lost-Art: the Notes To Jiggabot EP is a four-track vinyl 12" that represents one of the most critically noted releases in the DJ Natural Nate catalog. The EP was also released as a digital FLAC promo (HDLA001) through Hoodwink Records.

Track listing: A1 "Chasing The Rhythm," A2 "I Will Shine For You," B1 "Far Away (Jigga's Remix)" (Remix by Jigga), B2 "Alive With You." Published by True Hoodwink Music, rights society BMI.

The critical response to Notes To Jiggabot was immediate and substantive. The review published following the release described it as follows: "The Notes To Jiggabot EP by DJ Natural Nate vs Jiggabot (released on Hoodwink Recordings) is an excellent example of Y2K aesthetics and cyberpunk electrance. The 4-track release is a conceptual and emotional homage to his cybernetic partner-in-crime, Jiggabot." The phrase "cyberpunk electrance": a fusion of cyberpunk aesthetics and electronic trance energy, captured something essential about the EP's character: the futuristic visual language of the artwork (AI-generated imagery of a crowd scene with a masked figure, and a winged figure against a neon cityscape) matched the sonic ambition of the music.

The Notes To Jiggabot EP is a love letter in the most literal sense: a record made for and about Jiggabot (Jennifer Lemieux), DJ Natural Nate's wife and creative partner. The B1 remix by Jigga herself, "Far Away (Jigga's Remix)", places Jiggabot not just as the subject of the record but as a co-creator, a producer whose remix appears on the vinyl alongside the original productions. The BMI rights registration confirms the EP's status as a formally documented, commercially released work with full publishing rights protection.

In 2026, DJ Natural Nate® and Jiggabot completed the most deliberate and personal vinyl project in their entire catalog: ten custom white-label 12" test pressings produced under the Bruise Your Body Breaks and The-Lost-Art.com banners, mastered and cut by Izzy at The Dub Plug. Twenty unreleased tracks. No streaming. No Beatport. No commercial distribution of any kind.

The ten records in the series: Record 1, "Be Forgiven (Original Mix)" (Rob Cokeless & DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM). Record 2, "If The Sky Falls Down" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 33 RPM). Record 3, "What You Cant Have" (DJ Natural Nate, Jiggabot VS Angel Pitch, 45 RPM). Record 4, "Go Fuq Yourself" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM). Record 5, "RITM OBE Extended DJ Remix" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 33 RPM). Record 6, "Blue October (DJ Tool Remix)" (Axel V VS DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM). Record 7, "I'll Be Fine" (DJ Natural Nate & Jiggabot VS Damian Doyle, 33 RPM). Record 8, "I'm The Only One" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM). Record 9, "Eye in The Sky (Axel V Remix)" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM). Record 10, "Somethin' Like This" (DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot, 45 RPM).

Every pressing was mastered and cut by Izzy at thedubplug.com: a specialist vinyl cutting service whose work gave the pressings the sonic quality required for large sound systems. The records were co-branded The-Lost-Art + BYBB, confirming the dual-label infrastructure that has supported the catalog since the mid-2000s. These records were made for one purpose: to be played live, at shows, in front of the people who showed up. They are the physical embodiment of the philosophy that has defined this catalog from the beginning.

"Twenty unreleased tracks. No streaming. No Beatport. No commercial distribution of any kind. These records were made for one purpose: to be played live.", DJ Natural Nate®

In June 2026, DJ Natural Nate® performed a four-hour live tribute mix dedicated entirely to Frajile Recordings and the artists behind the label, broadcast live on The-Lost-Art.com, performed on two turntables with no sync. The mix accumulated 551 plays, 45 likes, 10 reposts, and 16 comments on SoundCloud within its first month.

James Wolfe of Frajile Recordings personally reposted the mix: a direct endorsement from the label being honored. Fan responses documented the impact: "Sensational show, I loved it! Congratulations DJ Nate!" (Kadu Discos Black Music). "Enjoying the ride!!!" (FLGirl192 / Lisa). "this track is smoove" (Axel V).

The SoundCloud description of the mix captures its arc: "The journey began deep in the lower BPM ranges, setting a mysterious and atmospheric tone. The opening tracks felt like drifting through deep space, filled with futuristic melodies, robotic rhythms, and haunting electronic textures. Every transition was carefully crafted, allowing the music to breathe while building anticipation for what was to come. By the final hour, the mix had transformed into a high-energy Electro Bass assault. The BPM had risen significantly from where it began, the rhythms became more aggressive, and the atmosphere shifted from deep-space exploration to full-throttle interstellar warfare."

The Frajile Recordings showcase is not a studio release, it is a live performance document. But it belongs in this timeline because it represents the same principle that has governed every release in this catalog: music made in real time, for a specific audience, with no shortcuts. Four hours. Two turntables. One continuous journey.

Every release documented in this timeline exists not just as a digital file or a Discogs entry, it exists as a physical object, framed and mounted on the wall of DJ Natural Nate's home studio. This is the Wall of Fame: a floor-to-ceiling installation of framed vinyl records, world record certificates, a US Patent and Trademark Office registration, and the artifacts of more than 30 years of independent music-making. It is one of the most complete physical documentations of an underground DJ career in existence.

The Wall of Fame, DJ Natural Nate's Colorado home studio. Every framed item is an original: pressed vinyl, official certificates, and the US Patent and Trademark Office registration for DJ Natural Nate®. This wall is the physical documentation of more than 30 years of independent music-making.

What you are looking at is not a display case assembled for appearances. Every item on this wall was earned. The framed vinyl records are the actual pressed copies: the physical objects that came back from the pressing plant, the same records that were played on Technics 1200s at shows across Colorado and beyond. The certificates are the originals. The trademark registration is the real document, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This wall is the receipts.

The items on the wall include: the Collision Course double vinyl (BBS001, Netherlands 2015) framed with its white-label test pressing; the Gods & Aliens EP (UMX 004, Netherlands 2017) framed with the original vinyl label and two Red Rocks Amphitheatre ticket stubs from June 30; the Notes To Jiggabot EP (HDLA-001, 2024) in two matching dual-vinyl frames: "Far Away / Alive With You" on the left, "Chasing The Rhythm / I Will Shine For You" on the right; the Notes To Jiggabot red-sleeve test pressing (United pressing plant, Selection # HDLA-001, Artist: Natural Nate vs Jiggabot, Title: Notes To Jiggabot: the pressing plant documentation still attached); the Invaders compilation (UMX 010, Netherlands 2018) framed with the B-side label showing "UMX 010 B 33RPM" and the The-Lost-Art.com logo; the Activate Underground EP (UMX 011, Netherlands 2018) framed with the A-side label and the handwritten "UMX 011" catalog number on the white-label test pressing; the Under The Blood Moon EP (UMX 013, Netherlands 2019) in a square black frame showing the full A-side label: "Beyond The Blood Moon / DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot" and "Random Drone / DJ Mike Devious": with the BYBB and UMX logos both visible; the Official World Record Setter certificate and yellow RecordSetter t-shirt, framed together: the certificate issued to Nathaniel Raymond Lemieux for "Most 135 BPM Vinyl Mixes In One Hour" (86 mixes); and the United States Patent and Trademark Office registration certificate for DJ Natural Nate®, Reg. No. 6,742,940, Registered May 31, 2022, covering Class 9 (Musical sound recordings) and Class 41 (Entertainment services in the nature of live visual and audio performances by musician), with First Use In Commerce documented as 1-00-1998.

The trademark certificate is the document that most people never see. It is the legal foundation of everything: the ® symbol that appears after DJ Natural Nate's name on every release, every flier, every website, and every piece of merchandise. The registration confirms that the name "DJ Natural Nate" has been in commercial use since 1998: a fact that the USPTO verified and formalized on May 31, 2022. The registrant is www.the-lost-art.com, LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company. The name identifies Nathaniel Lemieux, whose consent to register is made of record.

The BYBB logo canvas print, the The-Lost-Art.com logo frame, the "It's Not A Phase / It's Not A Habit / It's My Life / It's My Passion" print, the Breakspoll nomination plaque, the D.A.R.E. Certificate of Achievement, all of it is on this wall. This is what 30 years of independent operation looks like when you document it properly.

The Collision Course double vinyl (Underground Music Xperience BBS001, Netherlands, June 2, 2015) is framed as a gatefold display: the printed cover art on the left: the iconic turntable-and-needle photograph with the Underground Music Xperience logo and "COLLISION COURSE" text, and the white-label test pressing on the right, still in its plain white inner sleeve. The catalog number BBS001 is visible in the lower left corner of the cover art, confirming the direct connection between the Dutch label and the Bruise Your Body Breaks imprint.

Collision Course, BBS001, Framed original: cover art (left) and white-label test pressing (right). The catalog number BBS001 is visible in the lower left corner. DJ Natural Nate's first European vinyl release, framed on the Wall of Fame.

This was DJ Natural Nate's first appearance on a European vinyl release. The framed copy on the wall is the physical artifact of that milestone: the moment the Colorado underground connected to the Netherlands electro breaks network. The white-label test pressing beside the cover art is the version that came back from the pressing plant before the final commercial copies were distributed: the first physical proof that the music existed on wax.

The Gods & Aliens EP frame is one of the most detailed on the wall. The left side holds the vinyl with its full-color cosmic label, "UMX 004 / 33RPM", alongside the printed insert showing the track listing: "A1 natural nate & jiggabot, 'in the background' / A2 alavux, 'migrations' / B1 rise black, 'veneno' / B2 paulus8, 'interstellar'" and the mastering credit "MASTERED BY MAARTEN BLOM / UMX 004 2017." The right side holds the white-label test pressing in its plain sleeve.

What makes this frame exceptional are the two Red Rocks Amphitheatre ticket stubs mounted in the lower corners, both dated June 30, 2023, 9:30 PM. Red Rocks is one of the most iconic music venues in the world, carved into the Colorado Front Range. The juxtaposition of a Netherlands electro vinyl release with Red Rocks ticket stubs is a precise statement about who DJ Natural Nate is: an artist with international vinyl releases who is also deeply rooted in Colorado's live music culture. The tickets are not decoration. They are documentation.

The Notes To Jiggabot EP occupies three separate frames on the Wall of Fame, more wall space than any other single release. The two matching dual-vinyl frames are the centerpiece of the entire installation. Each frame holds two vinyl records flanking a printed insert: the left frame shows "Far Away / Alive With You" with the cyberpunk AI-generated artwork (a figure in a futuristic cityscape); the right frame shows "Chasing The Rhythm / I Will Shine For You" with the masked crowd scene artwork. Both frames carry the Notes To Jiggabot title treatment in the same font across the top.

Below the dual frames sits the third Notes To Jiggabot artifact: the red-sleeve test pressing from the United pressing plant. The red inner sleeve is the standard United pressing plant color: a detail that pressing plant veterans recognize immediately. The label on the vinyl reads "TEST PRESSING / A" with the United logo. The pressing plant documentation card is still attached to the frame, showing: Title: HDLA-0029, Customer: James B. Buggs, Selection #: HDLA-001, Artist: Natural Nate vs Jiggabot, Title: Notes To Jiggabot. This is the document that came back from the pressing plant with the test pressing: the official record of the manufacturing order. It is rarely seen publicly.

The cyberpunk AI-generated artwork on the Notes To Jiggabot EP: the figure in the futuristic cityscape that defines the visual identity of the release, did not come from a design brief. It came from a video.

Years before the EP existed, before there was a pressing plant order or a label deal or a track listing, Nate made a video called "Notes to Jiggabot." It was made in the same spirit as the music: private, personal, not designed for an audience. A visual document of the same feeling that would eventually become the EP: the same emotional register, the same intimacy, the same refusal to perform for anyone other than the person it was made for.

When the time came to design the EP artwork, the visual language was already there. The video had established it years earlier. The cyberpunk aesthetic, the futuristic cityscape, the sense of a message being sent across distance and time, all of it traces directly back to this video. The artwork did not inspire the music. The music and the video existed together first, and the artwork followed from both.

This is the video. It predates the vinyl by years. Watch it alongside the framed records on this wall and the connection is immediate.

The red-sleeve test pressing frame is the rarest item in the Notes To Jiggabot display. A test pressing is the first physical copy that comes back from the pressing plant, made before the full production run, used to verify that the lacquer cut translated correctly to vinyl. Most test pressings are never framed; they are played, approved, and filed away. This one is on the wall.

Notes To Jiggabot EP, Red sleeve test pressing from the United pressing plant. The pressing plant documentation card (HDLA-001, Artist: Natural Nate vs Jiggabot) is still attached. Test pressings are rarely framed, this one is on the Wall of Fame.

The pressing plant documentation card visible in the frame reads: "Title: HDLA-0029 / Customer: James B. Buggs / Selection #: HDLA-001 / Artist: Natural Nate vs Jiggabot / Title: Notes To Jiggabot." The United pressing plant logo is on both the card and the vinyl label. The red inner sleeve is the United plant's standard color: a detail that confirms the provenance of the pressing. This is the physical chain of custody for the Notes To Jiggabot EP: from the studio, to the lacquer, to the pressing plant, to the test pressing, to the wall.

The Invaders compilation frame (UMX 010, Netherlands 2018) shows the B-side label, "UMX 010 B / 33RPM" with the distinctive orange-and-yellow explosion artwork, alongside the printed insert showing the full track listing and the The-Lost-Art.com logo in teal. The white-label test pressing occupies the right side of the frame.

Invaders, UMX 010, Framed original: B-side label (left) and white-label test pressing (right). The The-Lost-Art.com logo is visible on the insert, confirming the Colorado-Netherlands connection. Mastered by Dynamix II.

The presence of The-Lost-Art.com logo on the Invaders insert is significant: it confirms that the Colorado-based platform was credited on the Netherlands release, establishing the direct connection between the two operations. The Invaders frame is one of the more understated pieces on the wall: the dark background and the intensity of the B-side label artwork give it a different visual weight than the more colorful frames surrounding it.

The Activate Underground EP frame (UMX 011, Netherlands 2018) contains one of the most intimate details on the entire wall: the white-label test pressing on the right side has "UMX 011" written in blue pen on the plain white sleeve. This is the handwriting of whoever received the test pressing and needed to identify it: a small human mark on an otherwise anonymous white label.

Activate Underground EP, UMX 011, Framed original: A-side label (left) and white-label test pressing with handwritten "UMX 011" (right). Mastered by Oscar Zayas & David Noller from Dynamix II. The handwritten catalog number is one of the most personal details on the entire wall.

The A-side label on the left shows the full Activate Underground EP design: the cyberpunk cityscape artwork, the "Activate Underground EP" title treatment, the "A" side designation, and the track listing, "A1: Activate The Underground / DJ Natural Nate vs Jiggabot / A2: Lost In This World / DJ Natural Nate vs Jiggabot." The mastering credit, "Mastered by Oscar Zayas & David Noller from Dynamix II", is printed on the insert visible in the upper portion of the frame. The Dynamix II credit on a framed vinyl on the wall is a statement about the company this catalog keeps.

The Under The Blood Moon EP frame (UMX 013, Netherlands 2019) is the most dramatic piece on the wall. The square black frame holds the full vinyl in a dark field, no gatefold, no white sleeve, just the record and the label filling the frame. The A-side label is a deep crimson and purple cosmic design: the BYBB crown logo in gold at the top, the UMX logo in green at the bottom, and the track listing in white, "A1. Beyond the Blood Moon / DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot / A2. Random Drone / DJ Mike Devious / UMX 013 2019."

Under The Blood Moon EP, UMX 013, Framed original: full vinyl in a square black frame showing the crimson A-side label. "Beyond The Blood Moon" was written on the night of the brightest Blood Moon. The BYBB crown and UMX logos appear together on the label.

The insert in the upper right corner of the frame shows the full Underground Music Xperience header, the Blood Moon EP artwork (a spacecraft over a red planet), and the complete track listing including the B-side: "B1. Initiate Drone / DJ Mike Devious / B2. I'll Never Leave / DJ Natural Nate VS Jiggabot." The BYBB and UMX logos appear together at the bottom of the insert: the Colorado-Netherlands alliance in a single frame.

This is the record that was written on a Blood Moon. The frame on the wall is the physical proof that it happened.

The most visually striking frame on the Wall of Fame is the world record display: a yellow RecordSetter Official World Record Holder t-shirt, framed in a deep black shadow box, with the official certificate mounted on top of it. The RecordSetter logo: a black circle with "OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD HOLDER" in white, appears both as a badge on the shirt and as a sticker in the upper right corner of the frame.

Official World Record Holder, Nathaniel Raymond Lemieux, "Most 135 BPM Vinyl Mixes In One Hour": 86 mixes. Set April 29, 2010, live on The-Lost-Art.com. The certificate and the RecordSetter t-shirt are framed together in a shadow box on the Wall of Fame. Rarely photographed. Rarely discussed. Real.

The certificate reads: "OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD HOLDER / Nathaniel Raymond Lemieux / Most 135 BPM Vinyl Mixes In One Hour / 86 mixes." The record was set on April 29, 2010, live on The-Lost-Art.com: 86 vinyl mixes at 135 BPM in 60 minutes, performed on two Technics 1200s with no sync, no digital assistance, and no shortcuts. The certificate is signed and sealed. The t-shirt is the one that came with the record.

This frame is rarely photographed and rarely discussed publicly. It is the physical proof of a world record that most people in the electronic music community do not know exists. It sits on the wall next to the vinyl releases, the trademark certificate, and the show memorabilia, one more document in the most complete physical archive of an underground DJ career in Colorado history.

The most important document on the Wall of Fame is the one that most people walk past without fully understanding what they are looking at. Framed in a gray wood frame with a white mat, the United States Patent and Trademark Office registration certificate for DJ Natural Nate® is the legal foundation of everything in this catalog.

Carocell Music, Subbbace Records, SupremeJa Music, Additional labels in the catalog with releases pending full title recovery from digital archives.

The breadth of this label roster, spanning Colorado, the Netherlands, and the broader international underground network, is a testament to the reach that DJ Natural Nate® achieved through independent operation, without major label infrastructure, over more than two decades.

The Underground Music Xperience releases are fully documented on Discogs: the world's most comprehensive database of recorded music. The Discogs entries for UMX002 (Alienation), UMX 004 (Gods & Aliens EP), UMX 010 (Invaders), UMX 011 (Activate Underground EP), and UMX 013 (Under The Blood Moon EP) provide complete track listings, personnel credits, mastering information, and release date metadata that constitute the authoritative historical record for these releases.

The Discogs documentation confirms several key facts: the Netherlands country of origin for all UMX releases; the Maarten Blom mastering credit on UMX002 and UMX 004; the Dynamix II (David Noller and Oscar Zayas) mastering credits on UMX 010, UMX 011, and UMX 013; the exact track listings and side designations; and the catalog number sequence that places DJ Natural Nate's releases within the broader UMX catalog.

For researchers and historians of underground electronic music, the Discogs entries for the UMX releases are the primary source documents. They confirm that DJ Natural Nate® and Jiggabot were active participants in the international electro breaks vinyl market during the 2015–2019 period, not as peripheral figures, but as featured artists on multiple releases from a respected European label.

The DJ Natural Nate® catalog is not the product of a major label deal, a viral moment, or a streaming algorithm. It is the product of more than 30 years of consistent, principled independent operation: a catalog built track by track, pressing by pressing, show by show, in Colorado's underground electronic music scene and in the international networks that recognized and documented the work.

The numbers tell part of the story: 116 confirmed catalog releases. Six vinyl releases on a Netherlands label. Ten show-exclusive white label pressings. Mastering credits from Dynamix II. A Discogs entry. A Beatport artist profile. A Spotify artist ID. A BMI publishing registration. A 98/100 (A+) external site grade. A Breakspoll nomination. A world record set live on The-Lost-Art.com on April 29, 2010.

But the numbers do not capture what the catalog actually represents. Every release in this catalog was made with the same operating principle: make the music for the people who show up, press it to vinyl if it deserves to be pressed, and let the dance floor be the judge. The white label is not a format. It is a statement about what music is worth and who it is made for.

DJ Natural Nate® has never needed a major label to reach an international audience. The Underground Music Xperience connection happened because the music was good enough to cross an ocean. The Dynamix II mastering happened because the work earned that relationship. The Notes To Jiggabot review happened because the EP was genuinely worth reviewing. The Frajile Recordings repost from James Wolfe happened because four hours of real DJing speaks for itself.

This is what the long game looks like. This is what independence actually means.
