Holotropik has been performing Live Techno for the last 7years at various locations in Australia.
Previously released tracks through EDMdigital.com before their demise. Production has not been a primary focus, prefers to play Live. What few tracks that are released are currently being played by various DJs around the globe.
I am not a DJ. I compose & play my music Live directly from the source, machines like samplers and Drum-machines. I create every sound and arrangement and prefer to warp and flow the sound in its purest form, controlling every element in real-time. Little is know about this technique. But in a DJ dominated world any dance-music that is delivered in person is reasonably rare. Most clubs prefer the economics of a DJ rather than the soul of a musician. I simply get more of a high from playing my music to a party of people than I get from someone else playing it to people. I am hooked on sound manipulation. I get the most manipulation when I play to people. The energy allows me to venture further into the groove.
