TECYR is the creative alias of Joe Townsley, a seasoned music producer, DJ, and entrepreneur whose journey through electronic music is as dynamic as his sound. Starting in the mid-2000s UK free party scene under the name Dynamic Trip, Joe developed his craft amidst the raw and energetic underground rave culture. Later, as part of the DJ collective BLOC, he further explored the progressive and groove-driven sounds that would shape his future as TECYR. This rich history of influences and experiences has culminated in a sound that seamlessly blends nostalgia with forward-thinking innovation.

TECYR’s music takes inspiration from iconic artists like Axel Karakasis, Pedro Delgaro, and Dave the Drummer, as well as legendary labels such as Wiggle, Yin Yang, Special Series, Patterns, Zync Grooves, and Terminal M. His current focus lies in creating hardgroove and techno with influences from early acid techno and the raw, driving energy of early 2000s underground rave culture. This sound reflects a deep connection to his roots while pushing the boundaries of modern electronic music.

Beyond the studio, TECYR is the founder of the Noise Academy, a hub for aspiring DJs and producers, and the Lincoln DJ Hub, a vibrant community space dedicated to fostering creativity and collaboration in the electronic music scene. These ventures reflect his passion for mentorship and his dedication to cultivating the next generation of talent.

TECYR’s artistry extends to monthly digital mixes on YouTube and SoundCloud, as well as high-quality video recordings of in-house DJ events at the Lincoln DJ Hub. These projects offer fans an intimate look at his creative process and solidify his presence in the global techno and tech house community.

With roots deeply embedded in the underground and a vision for the future, TECYR is more than an artist—he’s a storyteller, mentor, and innovator. Prepare to experience the pulse-pounding beats and immersive grooves that define TECYR’s sound.
