Distek’s adoration for music started in the early 90’s playing a mix of Hard Dance and Trance embarking on his path as a producer using an Amiga500. Recently he’s been proved to be one of the most respected artists to emerge in the UK’s underground Techno scene with his Tough, Funky, Underground style.
A few years later he became resident for a number of local clubs and free parties across England and Wales. By 2001 his self built studio was finished and he started to focus on putting his unique sound into every production, by working hard he earned himself and his label ‘Kick The Drum’ respect amongst his peers and a place in the underground Techno scene.
Releases mounted up on Kick The Drum, More Punk Than Funk and Maximum Minimum. Continuing with his diversity and drive he extended his talent towards the Hardgroove and Techno sound, gaining releases on SUB CULT.
Distek’s own style works well in these genres and has grabbed the attention and support from many different artists. His tacks have received rave reviews in the press from the likes of IDJ and Upront magazines while producers like Dave The Drummer, Mark EG and Ignition Technician have also voiced their commendation and support.
With all the hype around him it’s no surprise he’s had the advantage of DJing and playing Live Sets across the UK and Europe alongside some of his heroes including Dave The Drummer, Ben Sims, DJ Rush and Concrete Djz!

Ondrej Blatny journey into electronic music began in the mid-1990s, when as a teenager he was captivated by The Prodigy, Underworld, Kraftwerk, the legendary Thunderdome compilations, and the 2Step TV show on VIVA Zwei. Techno and jungle quickly became his greatest inspirations.
By the age of 15, Ondrej had mastered Technics turntables and, under the alias DJ Shade, started performing in clubs across the Czech Republic. His sets, rooted in jungle and drum & bass, stood out for their raw, hard-edged energy infused with techno influences.
In 2006 he launched the project Gasmask71, shifting his focus to production. His intense tracks were released on labels such as BlackHoe, Mindsaw, Hard & Louder, Order in Kaos, and Blast Furnace Recordings, with standout releases like The Prophecy and Pipeline. Touring relentlessly across Czechia and abroad, he established himself on the drum & bass circuit and became part of collectives including Cyberfire and later Hoofbeats.
By 2014, Ondrej closed the Gasmask71 chapter and founded his new project Modetech, while continuing to perform with Hoofbeats. Although drum & bass remained central to his career for years, his love for techno never faded, and he occasionally appeared at events dedicated to the genre.
In 2024, he made a decisive move: stepping away from drum & bass entirely to dedicate himself exclusively to techno. Seeking independence and a fresh creative chapter, he drew inspiration from artists such as Surgeon, Industrialyzer, Richie Hawtin, The Advent, Regis, Luke Slater, and Rumenige—channelling their influence into hypnotic grooves and industrial textures.
By 2025, Modetech had released several EPs, and his distinctive industrial-driven sound is already beginning to attract a growing audience.
Modetech moves forward with clarity, determination, and a renewed passion for techno.
