Ignition Technician is a techno production team from Leeds, consisting of Richard Wilkinson and Pete Simpson.

In 1999, Carl Cox was one of the first to discover them and played early productions on dubplates. Soon other DJs such as Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Joey Beltram, Billy Nasty, Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Jon Peel and Colin Murry also played their records, which temporarily pushed them into the MTV dancefloor charts and brought them appearances on BBC Radio One.

Wilkinson is the owner of the labels Pirate Audio, Notorious North and Dj Special Needs. Together with Jon Nuccle and Mark Turner, he is also a shareholder in the label Player. Together with his studio partner Pete Simpson, he has already released over 150 records, including on numerous other labels such as Primate, Tortured, Tronic, Potential, Fine Audio, TechnoPassion and Planet Rhythm.

Ignition Technician has worked with numerous producers such as The Advent, Space DJ's, Angel Alanis, Glenn Wilson, Cave, Marko Nastic, Jel Ford, DJ Bam Bam, DJ Urban, Rino Cerrone, Mark Antonio, Mike Humphries, Trevor Rockcliffe, DJ Preach and DJ Misjah.

Ignition Technician has already played in Europe and toured Japan, Australia, Brazil and the USA.

Apollo Nash masterminds musical spaces in which anything feels possible. The New Jersey producer brings a human element to the infinite sonic horizons that characterize the trance genre.


Synth melodies colored by natural elements and drum patterns with danceable groove set his sound apart from that of the common producer. Prominent tastemakers have taken notice. Following his debut on Elliptical Sun Recordings, the name Apollo Nash is finding its way to the mouths of trance fans across the globe.


There’s a  depth of concept in each Apollo Nash release that gives you the sense he knows what it’s like to be rescued by the music. He’s among the few who can channel his experiences into something that resonates with a wide audience. With wordless wonderment, each soundscape manages to remind you that even in free fall, you’re capable of anything.


At least in Apollo Nash’s case, imagination knows no limit. With his career breakout under way, make sure you don’t sleep on this emerging talent.

Yo! Just trying to share my vibe
