 A 3 song performance rehearsal for the amazing Eye of the Storm series at the fabulous Rio Theatre, Vancouver BC

Eye Of The Storm October 2012 Rehearsal - Hibernator (LIVE DEMO)

Tomas started his career in the golden era of minimal and glitch techno and helped to define the genres. 
His live performance at the inaugural Mutek festival in 2000 caught the ear of Force Inc who signed him shortly after, just eking-out Akufen to become the first Canadian on the label. In the era where vinyl still ruled, and digital downloads were just a twinkle in some corporation's eye, Tomas dropped albums on Traum, Klang Elektronik, Revolver, Audio.NL, and more. 
Since then, two decades of producing has seen Jirku manipulate house on Arbutus Records; hip-hop with his laser-gun-rap project The Killaz; dub on his highly regarded "Entropy" album; electro, ambient, and other experiments that defy genres. With experience performing around the globe and having made his mark on innumerable record labels, Tomas has been honing back in on techno, aiming to maximize the brain and body connection that deep techno can provide.
His recent releases on Seattle's Innerflight, Berlin's Thoughtless, Vancouver's Subspec, and Rome's Concrete record labels further prove that the Canadian producer has built a strong repertoire by not doing anything straightforward or ordinary.

Hibernator is the combined musical weirdness of Dave King (Longwalkshortdock) and Tim Hill (Rim, Rim Visuals). It functions primarily as an excuse to wear bear costumes and play with analog synths run thru way to many effects in order to space out. We really like it. We hope you do too.
