About Me

TEK (as in Techno) TONIC (as in cleansing cure-all) SOUNDSYSTEM (as in noisy people) has nothing to do with this new street dance craze that is taking france by storm... I promise (but I must admit that any excuse to dance in the street is pretty cool in my book)

Having been into raving since the summer of '91 it was decided that we should have our own sound system so that we can entertain our friends with loud music and good times like we remembered from all those years ago. It took us over a year to build it up, but we now have a pair of LAB Subs and a set of nice little top-cabs that work well independenly of the monster bass bins, but when you put them together they perfectly fill a small hall, barn or shed with bass and smiles =D

Being fans of techno for over half our lives has had an impact on the musical styles that get played at a TEK Tonic party, but then again so has an open mind, a love of all musical styles and a sense of humor

Here's a couple of tunes to get you in the mood, but please understand that I am not claiming to be a musical genius or the best unsigned producer around, I just like to mess about with production software!

Enjoy!



My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/5/2007
Band Members:

As well as me (Amino Clang), the tek tonic cru is made up of technoillogiocal (have a look at my friends) and dj doom who went ballistic on fruity loops one day and made 10 minutes of gnarly mayhem... live...

fahhkinn mentaaallll!!!


Influences:

Wide and varied to say the least...

I love almost all dance music from Hip-Hop to Electro to House to Oldschool to Breakz to Dubstep to Grime to DnB to Break Core to Jungle Tek to Dark Techno to Bouncy Techno to Bangin Techno to Acid Techno to Psy Trance (or Goa as I used to call it back in the day) to Tekno to Hardtek to Gabba to Hardcore and pretty much everything inbetween.

There are a couple of exceptions to the rule though - I hate Hard Trance and Happy Hardcore and probably just about everything that gets played on Ibiza.

I don't just like electronic music though. I also like other forms of dance music too...

From Reggea to Dub to Ska (both original and 2-Tone) to Dancehall to Ragga to Jazz to Acid Jazz to Disco to Pop to Rock to Grunge to Indi to Emo to Death Metal to Cheese to... well, I guess you get the picture, but my all time favourite band has to be "Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem" (also the best name for a band ever!). I could go on, and maybe sometime in the future I will add to this list, but for now you can assume that I have quite a broad spectrum of musical interests and influences, but right now I am into this sort of thing (don't know who he is, but the kid got skills!)...

Check out My Video's to hear a DnB/Hip-Hop live mashup mix or download any of the following mixes to get a flavour of my musical influences...


Sounds Like:

My latest mixes start here with the "Nobody listens to techno any more" sessions.

This is the first mix and I think it shows the versatility and musicality of techno as an artform:

Nobody Listens to techno

This is the second mix in the same series and it came about because somebody asked me "Where’s the funk in techno?"

Well... here it is:

Where’s the funk in techno?

The third mix in this series is not for the light-weighted. Hard techno could put me to sleep it relaxes me so much, you could almost say that it was a tonic for me... a tek tonic:

It’s not aggressive, it’s avinnit

This is the fourth mix from the NLTTAM Sessions and this one should get the nostalgic tears flowing if you can remember the 90’s...

Techno for grown-ups

In other technews...
