6AM Movement 2024 Interview: Colin Benders

Global techno & house community empowering the culture of work & rave
Est. 2008 Los Angeles

Based in Washington, DC, TonalTheory is a dynamic, self-taught producer/DJ duo that blends hard-hitting, percussive techno with melodic elements drawn from their classical backgrounds. Their immersive sound pushes the boundaries of hard techno, balancing aggression with a softer, more nuanced approach that captivates audiences. Their innovative productions have been released on industry-leading labels such as Expel Your Demons, Divine Intervention, Say What? Records, SINDEX, and Ōtomo. Notable EPs like Keep Me Blushin’ and Destined for Great Things have garnered support from top-tier artists including Dax J, Charlotte de Witte, Richie Hawtin, and Perc, and have been featured in key publications like KEYI Magazine and The Washington Post.

In 2021, TonalTheory founded their label, Undertone, driven by a passion for supporting emerging artists. Since its inception, the label has provided 21 U.S.-based producers with their first release, establishing Undertone as a platform for boundary-pushing techno. Their signature high-energy label nights have become a staple in the DC underground scene, and through collaborations with leading venues and promoters, they have nurtured the local techno community while consistently elevating the talent around them.

TonalTheory’s impact extends far beyond Washington, DC, as they’ve headlined shows across North America, Europe, and Asia, delivering their relentless techno sound to fans worldwide. Their long-standing residencies at iconic venues like Soundcheck, Echostage, Flash DC, and The Owl Room, as well as performances at warehouse events hosted by promoters like 6AM, TechnoFamLA, and Twisted Lines, showcase their unstoppable energy and dedication to pushing the boundaries of techno on a global scale.
