TT053 - Frequency Theory - Mark Valsecchi

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Mark Valsecchi has made his mark on the electronic music scene. Since his debut EP, his tracks have been featured on prominent labels like Alpaka Muzik, Digital Structures, Alula Tunes, Jannowitz, and Soupherb Records. His work often finds a place in the Beatport top 100, reflecting his steady stream of quality releases. He’s collaborated with international talents such as Maksim Dark, Monococ, Gaga, Aaron Suiss, and Dobé, and he's currently finalizing new material with a fresh lineup of exciting artists.

Mark's sound journey spans 25 years, beginning with Drum and Bass, Deep & Tech House on turntables, and evolving into live performance with a diverse range of tech. This progression led to the creation of Mixroom Studios, a mixing and mastering agency dedicated to dance music. His signature style features deep, phat basslines, groove-driven rhythms, and layers of sound that blend elements of Dark Groove, Minimal Techno, Progressive, and PsyTech. Each production invites listeners on a sonic voyage through a universe of rich textures and pitch modulations.

TEKNOTRIBE: The South African techno juggernaut

The Electronic Dance Music (EDM) landscape is constantly writhing with evolution. Genres often split through binary fission into two distinct sub-genres. Vibrant sub-cultures attach themselves to these genres and the whole scene is constantly stimulated by this healthy dynamism. Some genres explode and go mainstream; others fizzle out and die rather sad, pathetic deaths. But some genres, like Castle Lager, stand the test of time.

One of these genres is techno. And one of the biggest proponents of techno is Teknotribe!

It's a name synonymous with the most fundamental underground scene in Johannesburg and, lately, is growing on a national scale. Brewed and distilled over the years, it is more than just a name nailed to a night out. Teknotribe is an experience. It's a sensory overload that will leave you breathless and enchanted. This doesn't come about through some fluke. It isn't just pure luck that makes any Teknotribe production a mind-blowing success. Teknotribe, and the people behind it, literally live and breathe techno. Their passion for techno seeps from their pores and is more than palpable. This is the magic ingredient to any successful production.

Teknotribe has always been at the bleeding edge of innovation and they are thus best prepared for change and, in fact, are engineering that change with their pioneering outlook. This keeps Teknotribe at the forefront of the EDM scene, constantly adapting, evolving, and assimilating, to bring you – the discerning EDM fanatic – the very best the techno and psytrance the world has to offer.
