Safari Electronique, was created in London in 2005 by Arnaud Le Texier and is dedicated to Electronica, minimal, techno and micro house. After 6 years and a large list of world known Dj’s and composers, Safari rapidly got recognition on the international scene for the high quality and diversity of its output and earned his place in the complex electronic world of digital tech heads. Safari is an open minded record label with a large range of musical styles and taste. The most important ingredients of this label are groove, sensuality and experimentation and we are looking for open-minded artists who share our passion and love of music and our desire to push electronic music.

Since then, Arnaud’s Safari gave birth to three little brothers : Safari Numerique (digital only), Remake Music (vinyl only) and Children Of Tomorrow (techno).

Children Of Tomorrow label owner based in London. He's been making people dance to raw techno and banging beats worldwide for the past 30 years with nothing getting in the way of his uncompromising vision for mind-expanding Techno.

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In Junior High (1988) he was elected President of the Science Club, served as Social Chairman of the band, was awarded the John Philip Sousa Award, and was a featured soloist on trumpet. In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.

Dr. Pekowski continues to compose classical instrumental. Recent works include String Quartet Suites No. 1-9 (2019-2022), Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet (2024), Brookhollow Bayou for Solo Flute (2024), and Suite for Orchestra No1-No2 (2023-2025).
