Echoton - Sketch 7

Born in Girona, I started playing the electric guitar at the age of 12, after 5 years I began to listen to electronic music, and sold the guitar to buy a mc-303, from then on, I couldn't stop composing, I expanded my home studio buying synthesizers and learning how they worked.
Later on, I started to do some live, in clubs like Blau club, Sub, Be Cool, Liquid Sky, and in raves in the Catalonia area,
 I released some songs with Sintetics records, Kayf label, and others, so we decided with some friends create the Arkitextura label, with which we publish several references... after this, I have spent time dedicated to other activities, but now I am back in music production.
regards!

I studied piano for many years but when I discovered disco music in the 80's I preferred to be a DJ rather than perform in classical music concerts. From 1982 to 1992 I made thousands of people dance in the best clubs in central Italy. From 1992 to today I make music because I am always looking for new sounds, rhythms and above all new ... emotions!

Info:
Dr. Nojoke is a producer, performer and musician– his live sets continually bring new and unique sounds to the table, a combination of field-recordings, self-made sounds, and highly conceptual production that redefine the way we understand electronic music.
A Berlin native and leader in directional minimal techno (or “clikno” as he describes it), Dr. Nojoke is a master of rethinking ordinary musicality and procuring new uses for the everyday.

Dr.Nojoke´s live show may feature instruments such as radio, crushed plastic bottles and souvenirs as Dr.Nojoke celebrates the joy of finding special sounds in everyday objects not usually appreciated for their musicality.

Since 2005 performances in clubs and on festivals in Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Sweden, UK, Italy, Russia, USA, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova, Slovenia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Portugal, France and throughout Germany.

More than 150 releases (EPs/albums/remixes/contributions) on labels such as CLIKNO, Archipel, Goldmin Music, Sleep is Commercial, Klangscheiben, UNOIKI, Pluie/Noir, Destroy All Monsters, Minim.all, Autist, Eintakt, Resopal ...

Bio:
With the focus on deep electronic music two sound addicted brothers established the project Echoton in 2007. Initially playing deepest house around Berlin in the early 3rd millennium, the fascination for music production evoked and led to a deeper cosmos of electronic music. The passion of collecting vinyl turned into a sweet sickness in collecting hardware and software instruments. 

Heading towards a more elaborate-sounding techno/house direction, Echoton today is mainly known for their organic and detailed vibe somewhere in between crunchy minimal, deep techno and experimental electroacoustic music. Their search for the balance between established methods and pleasant unexpected suprises keeps them rolling. 

In addition to their studio and label work they definitely love to perform, either as a DJ team or live act. This is an exchange of two brothers who understand each other implicitly and complement one another blindly.
