Martin Warnes

Martin Warnes began working as a sound engineer in the late 1980's before opening his own studio (Pink Pterodactyl) in 1992. After releasing a 12" single (Fiesta by El Barrio) on Rollover Records, and an album (Pro-Log by Vallenato) on Temple Records, he signed (as Resonator) to the newly formed Ninebar Records in 1994. His first release with them was the 'Northern Lights EP' in May 1995. In September of the same year Ninebar set up a subsiduary label (Pterodactyl Records) concentrating on the newly emerging Jungle/Drum & Bass scene with Martin as A&R. Their first release was Dub Culture's Herb n' Decay EP which Martin had recorded in his own Pink Pterodactyl studio. The following year (1996) saw the release of 'Lament' by Resonator, swiftly followed by the Album 'Telharmonium'. Ninebar Records went out of business in 1998 and Martin released Resonators 'My World' album in 1999 on WAW Records. Several earlier tracks were released on compilation albums by labels such as 2Kool, Gravity & Recordings of Substance, and Worldwide Records released the 'Bhindee Boogie' album in India in 2000. Since then Martin has had various digital only releases as 'Resonator', 'Dub Culture', and as 'The Reality Liberation Front' with singer/songwriter Ken Corbett. He now also releases music under his own name.
