Tektrix has reached an electrifying point in his musical journey, where all the elements of his distinctive sound have converged to form a powerful and evolving identity. The dark and intricate layers of his production serve as a rock-solid foundation for a career poised to make waves across the global trance scene.

The story began in 2015 when Christopher Lawrence’s Pharmacy Music released Tektrix’s debut single, “Blackout/Virus,” which earned widespread support from industry heavyweights like John Askew. This breakout release propelled Tektrix into the international spotlight. He followed it up with a stunning remix of tiNy’s “Stargazer,” before being handpicked to remix “Zulu Magic” by Indecent Noise and Christopher Lawrence himself. This remix not only hit the Top 10 in Trance Releases on Beatport but also received massive support from icons such as Aly & Fila. Building on this momentum, Tektrix dropped other standout tracks, including remixes of “Victorious” by Vita, “Absence of Light” by Triceradrops, and his dynamic “No Escape” EP.

In 2019, Tektrix caught the attention of Los Angeles-based psytrance label Sculpted Sounds. His first release with the label, “Xibalba,” showcased his ability to craft intricate, high-energy tracks that captivate listeners. Shortly after, Tektrix curated the successful compilation Psychedelic Therapy Volume 1, featuring heavyweights like Shivatree, Galactic Explorers, M-Theory, and Virtual Light, alongside LA-based producers Triceradrops, Feelionics, Sidekicks, and Wolfboy. With follow-up hits like “Alien Contact,” a collaboration with Indian producer Protonix, and “Flow State,” Tektrix quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the Sculpted Sounds roster.

Tektrix’s undeniable talent also caught the ear of globally renowned psytrance label BMSS Records. Under their banner, he released major tracks like “Complete Control” and teamed up with Protonix again for the hypnotic “Primitive Minds.”

Constantly evolving, Tektrix blends the intricacies of psytrance, the complexities of techtrance, and the raw power of techno into a bold, signature sound that fully embodies his artistic vision. With every track, he pushes the boundaries of electronic music, crafting high-energy anthems that demand attention and captivate listeners from start to finish. With a relentless drive and a clear vision for the future, he’s only scratching the surface of what promises to be a groundbreaking career.

Keep Tektrix on your radar—his journey is just getting started, and the best is yet to come.
