Technique- what does it mean? Graceful, talented, to the beat on the beat all about beats! That most certainly describes DJ Tek-Nique. A product of Atlanta’s underground music scene, DJ Tek-Nique was destined to be the man to move a crowd from an early age. In the seventh grade, having witnessed the power of music while watching a local DJ perform at his school dance, Tek-Nique found his calling and has not looked back since. “I was amazed by how he controlled the crowd. One could say he made their bodies move with the music he played.” stated Tek-Nique when asked what inspired him while watching the DJ’s performance. By his freshman year in high school DJ Tek-Nique was making mix tapes and performing at local venues throughout the city. That in turn led to local radio station WKKC giving him his first break as an on-air hot mix jock. The experience he gained opened his eyes to the many facets of radio. As a result of him being determined to advance, Tek-Nique was given the opportunity to work with music labels Island Records and Columbia Records. That resulted in Tek-Nique premiering for Def Jam’s “Survival of the Illest” tour featuring DMX, Onyx, and Redman with the Def Squad.Through Tek-Nique’s hard as steel persona on the turntables, he acquired the name The Steel Technician. His sense of music inspires his selections when he spins at parties, clubs, and concerts. Having a strong sense of music also strengthened what he believes very strongly in, technique! He exemplifies this proudly when he describes what it means to be a DJ. He says, “When you’re rocking a party, you’ve got to know what to play and when to play it to keep the crowd dancing. It’s all about entertaining the crowd. That’s my purpose as the DJ!!!”DJ Tek-Nique , currently a member of Chicago’s elite Soul Selector DJ’s, has a variety of Hip Hop, House, and Old School House Mix tapes available in stores throughout the East Coast, South, and Midwest. As an affiliate of the BUM SQUAD DJz, Tek is currently featured as a mix-jock on the Saturday night mix show on WESE 92.5 Jamz, in Tupelo MS. Additionally, he can be heard on satellite music stations on your Sprint, US Cellular, and Nextel cell phones.With accomplishments ranging from opening for the Wu-Tang Clan and Kid Capri to performing for Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College homecomings to performing for events such as Freak-Nic and Jack the Rapper, Tek-Nique’s lengthy resume of success precedes him. Former resident DJ at two of Chicago’s hottest clubs, the former Clique Nightclub and The Mint, Tek can currently be seen performing on Friday nights at club Boutique on Chicago's northside. His dream, at this level, is to be featured on a syndicated radio mixshow as well as being globally recognized. I think that you would agree that DJ Tek-Niques time is now!!!
