========================



Originaire du Nord de la France et tout petit déjà, Tek!Now! était conquis par le mouvement acid-new beat et collectionnait les 45 tours de Confetti's ou de Off. Il commençait à mixer dans les garages des copains organisant ainsi ses premières soirées. Adulescent, il sortait avec frénésie dans les clubs "tendance" de la Belgique tels "le cherrymoon", "la bush", "at the villa".........................
Le nombre des années vécues ne faisait que renforcer avec ferveur et passion son amour des musiques électroniques, et personne à ce jour n'est parvenu à l'en détourner.
Il a très longtemps collaboré avec Aimé du Top et Planet Import, disquaire spécialisé de Liévin(62). Il fit partie de l'association mix session afin d'organiser des évènements techno et prôner la libéralisation des musiques électroniques.
Adorateur du Dieu "Vinyle" il fit la promesse d'être le dernier DJ à utiliser ce support de mixage si un jour il ne devait en rester qu'un.
Bien que fidèle aux sonorités passées, les années lui ont appris à ouvrir son esprit à la nouveauté et à des artistes comme Markus Suckut, son son est avant tout acid et/ou techno.
Vivant ses sets de la façon la plus intense qui soit, ses purs moments de plaisir le conduisent jusqu'à une certaine forme de catatonie où chaque note jouée est synonyme d'extase.
Deux mots suffisent à le définir: éternel passionné.................................... La techno reste intemporelle: il importe peu que le titre joué soit sorti il y a deux jours ou 10 ans, seul le plaisir compte.
Et seul lui-même sait ce qu'il vous réserve ....................mais faites lui confiance, vous allez adorer !!!!!!!!

Melbourne-based acid techno, hard groove, hard techno/schranz, and electronic music DJ, Producer, & Performer.

- Label owner, manager, and producer at Tension Music.
- Producer/Remixer at DJ Hellraiser (active) - began in 1995 and is the current and ongoing main project, including all collaborations on Tracid Traxxx, StraightOn Black Recordings, Theracords/Therabyte, Stealth Industries/Third Movement, and Q-Dance.
- Producer/Remixer at Ad Nauseam, aka ADN (this project is no longer active) - 2003 as "Ad Nauseam," for one release on Schalldruck/Überdruck Records and then the project stopped for almost two decades; "Ad Nauseam" - was then rebooted and was active again producing and remixing hard acid techno including a collaboration with "Jack Wax" (NL), from 2020 to 2024 on Tension Music, Flatlife Records, Zodiak Commune Records, Disrupt The Surge, and the Stay Up Forever & Flatlife Records collaborative imprint "We Are Acid Family." Two remixes were released under the abbreviated moniker "ADN" which were, "Mauro Picotto - The Twilight Zone," on Alchemy Records in late-2023 (a hard acid techno remix of the 1999 underground techno hit Megamind - Taub), and "Andreas Kraemer & Jon Connor - Catch," on Sonaxx Records in mid-2024 (a hard techno/schranz remix featuring the vocal from Kosheen's chart topping club hit "Catch"). Both "Ad Nauseam" and "ADN" ceased being active projects in mid-2024 and are now defunct, with the two producers opting to pursue different creative directions under their solo monikers. A final release, as "Ad Nauseam," called the "Rave System E.P.," was released in early 2025, and included two new 90's rave inspired hard acid techno tracks, "Omega System," and "Alpha System," plus the previously unreleased 2004 hard acid techno track "Always Acid," due to high demand for its release on SoundCloud. The "Rave System E.P." was released on extremely limited edition yellow vinyl in a full-color picture sleeve and digital through Flatlife Records, and topped techno vinyl sales charts, and received major support from techno and acid techno DJs around the world.
