Ferola was ripped from his homeland in Venezuela and brought to New York City at the age 3. Being influenced by the early days of Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito on 89 Tech 9 on Columbia College Radio, Ferola picked up the tables in 1999. That year, he joined his college radio station in Poughkeepsie to play a Brooklyn influenced hip hop breed from the 90's sound. While listening to DJs before and after his show & going to shows around the east coast rave scene, he was greatly influenced by new sounds coming from Jungle, Techno, & House to name a few. After attending his first rave and being captivated by the energy of the scene, he realized the love he had for hip hop could be further tested in the realms of dance music. In 2005, Ferola collaborated with Earth Control, a collective which consisted of DJs Will Divide , Darvin Silva & Diamond Vinyl aka Nicole of NINA SKY. Earth Control has played various venues around the city and the tri state area. Through the years, artists such as Charles Feelgood, Ralphie C, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Paul Johnson, DLG, and Carl Cox have all inspired Ferola in his music career.
After meeting in the winter of 2007, Pharaoh and Ferola decided to follow the way of the groove to form Sex & Fury. The goal was to bring the rhythm missing from the days of old New York City, back to the dance floors. Their sound consists of funky blends of Disco, House and Techno with extreme musical roots in Latin rhythmic music.
In early 2009, they teamed up with Unit.One to form a party called Broken Teeth. As resident Djs, Sex & Fury have played with artist such as DJ Morsy, Stareyes, Cobra Krames, Mathhead, Jubilee and performed at venues like Websterhall, Happy Endings, Cameo Gallery and Market Hotel. Together they produce a weekly mix show podcast integrating guest DJs of all genres called Treehouse Sessions. Sex & Fury embarked on a southern US tour in '09 playing shows in Austin + Dallas, Texas& Norman, Oklahoma to name a few.
