Tensile Force is a bedroom producer and hobby DJ with a deep passion for a wide range of electronic music. Growing up in the 1990s, he spent countless hours scanning radio stations and recording his favorite tracks onto cassette tapes. Over the years, he has crafted trance and progressive music, staying true to his love for electronic beats.

While synthwave and synthpop have always held a special place in his heart, he hadn’t ventured into producing them until 2025. This year marks a new chapter with the release of his debut synthpop track, "Night Drive." Inspired by the timeless sounds of the past, he is now on a mission to perfect this genre under the alias TFM85.

Kraftkabel is the artist name of Philip I. Buckland. I am a musical scientist in a parallel universe living in a studio flat orbiting Jupiter. My keyboards are suspended in gravity nets, and my mixer is controlled by the power of the mind. My cosmic sequencing software masters through the power of emotion, and my keyboards are simultaneously both retro and new.
My music originates from the point of divergence of these universes - the mid-late 1980's, but is spliced by genre splicing interludes. I use a time machine and dimensional portal to get to work.
For the other nerds out there:
Hardware synths: 
Moog Subsequent 37; Roland Jupiter X, JD-Xi, VR-09, S-1; Korg Prologue, NTS-1, Monotron Duo; Sequential Take5; Yamaha DX7; Akai PRO MiniAK; Novation Mininova; Arturia MicroFreak; Modal SkulptsynthSE; Teenage Engineering PO-20.
Main software: Ableton, Arturia Analog Pro, InSidious, random free stuff from the interweb and Dexed to program the DX7. Audacity. All played through Arturia Keylab and Keystep (which has a better arpreggiator).
Plus some guitars that I can't really play very well. And an mbira, tin whistle and an alien head-shaped ukulele.

Electronic Music Producer, Composer, Arranger. Graduate of Berklee College of Music Online and the EDM PROD Producer Launchpad. 

To all those who have followed me during my journey into EDM Production, Thank you. There is more to come. Stay tuned.

I have discovered and am experimenting with Suno AI. Some pieces were developed with generated audio rather than developed manually.

Carpe diem
Human after all
In music we trust
Always skeptical, always curious
Where words fail... music speaks...
To the edge of the universe and back
The human being is a mirror of the universe
Sometimes you get lucky and find music that grooves with your soul
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
