It all began in 2010 when Tek-One (AKA Howard Newman) combined his love of 'circuit-bending' (rewiring children's toys and other small home electronics in order to turn them into musical instruments) with his passion for dark electronic music.

It wasn't long before scene legend and leading producer/DJ Jakes picked up on Tek-One's unique sound for his label H.E.N.C.H. After considerable success with first release 'Broken String' (which topped the Beatport, Juno Recommends charts, amassed several million plays on YouTube and received heavy support from Plastician, N-Type, Joker and a plethora of other radio DJs) he raised the bar and crossed over to the metal crowd. A ground-breaking remix of Bring Me The Horizon's 'Sleep With One Eye Open' for their album 'Cut Up' lead Rock Sound to describe it as 'the stand out moment of the record'. 

A myriad of successful remixes later (including Example, Enter Shikari, Shy FX, Breathe Carolina and many more) and the addition of a live drummer and MC saw Tek-One touring almost non-stop during this period. Headline tours, support slots and major festivals across the globe saw Tek-One rocking crowds with their combination of dark, energetic dance music, lively hype man and ferocious live drumming.

Fast forward to today and Tek-One's feature-length, debut album is poised to drop. Collaborations with metal icons Bury Tomorrow and Heart Of A Coward, rapper Illaman and Shiny Toy Gun's own Sisely Treasure, to name but a few, have already had journalist's mouths watering across the board. Signed, sealed and scheduled for release on H.E.N.C.H Tek-One look set to further make waves and break boundaries as one of the most exciting acts in electronic music.
