Pretty good capture of my current style..

I most commonly play at gigs as Somatech (techno/breaks).  Keen to play more of this stuff out. :P

Twisted Frequency was a total vibe this year.  I enjoyed every moment of it.

I was honoured to lay this set down on the final morning on the main stage.  Such a pleasure to serve bouncy techno and breaks in the buildup to the grand finale.

Somatech_Dunedin Winter Solstice 2024

An example of the style of tunes I could play at Twisted Frequency depending on the timeslot.  Could go lighter & funkier or could push the intensity into the harder / dnb end of the spectrum depending on the space and time.

This recording got cut off before I was done as you can hear.  :)

Somatech will take you on a journey through multiple styles and vibes.  Transcendental, groovy, tribal and euphoric mashing up techno and breaks.  Let's go.

Mzch1f will bring some bouncy, wonky wub hop and halftime grooves. Expect a journey that's uplifting, funky, transcendental, glitched-out, bass heavy.  Darkness and light.  If it's mischief you're looking for I've got plenty.
