Âme (LIVE)/ Marcus Worgull/ Crazy Larry at Output and Julio's Record Release Party with Julio/ Ray Rose in The Panther Room

A Minor Error's roots can be traced back to a small rehearsal space in south Boston circa 2007. In this room, groups of Berklee students gathered together to play balls out heavy music in 7\8, and drink large quantities of Milwalkee's Best. This sound cultivated and nurtured with copious amounts of booze then migrated with guitar player Rob Craft back to Philadelphia in 2009 where it has morphed and evolved into AME.

Being aware that progressive bands tend to take themselves entirely too seriously, Rob set out to write complex music with a twist; AME is progressive music with a sense of humor...like a shark in a funny hat!

The first musician Rob met was guitarist Pete Vigliotti, a University of the Arts student, in Feburary 2010 responding to a Craigslist ad. Since both guitar players began playing rock music and went on to study jazz in college, the chemistry was immediate and their friendship became the foundation of the band. Pete brought in groove master Tyler Wildman on the bass in spring of 2010 and the core of the group was established. Throughout 2010 and most of 2011 the band found its musical identity, and played scattered shows around Philadelphia but as the original drummer and singer parted ways in late 2011, the search to find the perfect personalities and talents to complete the lineup began. Akeim Michael joined in Fall 2011, refreshing the groups sound with a modern update on lead vocals. A long and tiresome search for the right drummer lasted over a year until, like manna sent from the sky, AME met drummer Dave Brown.

Allowing the music to organically take shape over three years and after having so many talented local musicians add to AME's sound, the group finally has one committed lineup ready to bring AME to the world.

Capitalizing on the northeast's thriving cover band scene, AME is really two bands in one; one part virtuosic original progressive metal band and one part top 40 cover band. Consisting of talented trained musicians, AME has the skill to deliver tunes outside the average cover bands repertoire, convincingly playing Tower of Power, Kansas, Rush, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Usher and Katy Perry all in the same night.


Nope, Marcus Worgull's parents didn't have a record collection full of miraculous funk, soul and jazz records. Believe us, they didn't. Consequentially, six-year-old Marcus didn't place himself on a soapbox to play those non-existing ones to his relatives during family celebrations. I bet you are glad that we clarified that. Instead, Marcus had to go the really hard way. It were the late 80ies and growing up in cosy Wuppertal near Cologne, Germany that meant lots of learning, digging, searching and no perching at all.
So the boy was on his travel through the world of merry music. Hip hop, reggae, funk, soul all purchased with his lunch and pocket money at a small store named Groove Attack. Worgull got his fingers dusty there and as fate would have it, the store moved to Cologne mutated into a distributor along the way and is now run by Marcus himself. At around the same time, MW snuck into club's like the Beat Box to hear DJs like Norman Jay or Gilles Peterson selecting, before he cut his teeth as a DJ at the infamous U-Club, where he took over the fortunes of the "house room" and played from start to finish. Learning the art of programming and all the other important disc jockey techniques from scratch. Thrilled by all the amazing platters of majestic deep house that were a plenty these days, Marcus' soft spot for profound yet moving house music turned into a real obsession.
As it goes with most passions, you cannot get rid of them that easy. So instead of making an occupational decision in getting an academic degree, Marcus choose the doomed path of music. A full-grown man by now with a mature record collection, he got deeper and deeper into the production side of it, recorded his first 12" for Spectrum Works, followed by the Texel EP including the still ueber-massive "Dragon Loop" for Berlin's Innervisions imprint. Bound to the label of Dixon and Ame on a professional level and even more so on a personal one (friendship is way more important than fame and money a wise man once said, you know?), he is considered part of their inner circle and in-house producers. When he is not working on tracks for IV, you can catch him almost certainly on remix duties for people and labels like The Juan MacLean and DFA, Gerald Mitchell from Underground Resistance fame, Permanent Vacation and Running Back.
But most of all, Marcus is still adoring the art of moving butts, spending his weekends on planes and trains (he actually prefers driving a car) to carry a bag of records to prized clubs like Robert Johnson, Fabric, Plastic People, Trouw or Sub Club on the regular. His very own selection of well-made and often newly laid house music that knows its roots as well as it is yearning for the future or explores the leftfield, is what you can expect from him. You can also reappraise his methods (and love for other music) on each of his specifically created and applauded mix shows that float the net. All of this is presented and custom-made for your pleasure with the loving hands of a working DJ. Pure Worgold!


Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Crazy Larry is a young and fearless talent with an insatiable craving for old and new sounds. Larry fell in love with dance music in 2000 via the Casa Del Soul record store and a deeply held love of wax.

He developed his infamous live PA in January of 2006, which debuted in NYC for Taimur Agha and the Blk Market crew. This live performance is much more than the average one-man-one-laptop show - incorporating vintage drum machines, live home made plug-ins, and even the Nintendo Wii.

Currently residing in the depths of Bushwick, Brooklyn, and getting inspiration from DJ's like Koze, Three, Matthias Tanzmann and Pedro, he’s building on a name already made in Denver throwing parties and booking events at both Shelter and Vinyl Nightclubs, and as the purveyor of numerous debaucherous after hours (namely his Udder Madness and Cheap Sunglasses parties).

Larry now devotes much of his time to new project, the ‘Time To Get iLL’ label, born off the back of Brooklyn based shindigs of the same name.

The label’s first release will come from Glacier - Larry’s current project with production partner Pier Bucci with their ‘Cabeza’ release, which is slated to appear in October. This follows an offering from them ‘The Rocky Mountains’ which appeared on Wagon Repair back in 2007.

Other Crazy Larry releases have come via staple American labels Siteholder, AirDrop, Fade, Auralism and hip Brooklyn based label Hallucination. Future Time to Get iLL projects on the horizon include releases from contemporaries Soul Clap, Tanner Ross and Adam Collins, which showcase shared influences from old school R&B, soul, and funk genres – placing Larry well within the current slow-down-and-low-down zeitgeist.

To surmise, Larry Ursini is all about the records you may not know, but really enjoy – and with the party stamina of actual rock stars and the talent to back it up, the Crazy one can not possibly fail to command your attention, and leave his own lasting mark.
