HÖR + Voltage Labs Maximum Heat DJ Comp' Mix - TEKNO Monkey

TEKNO Monkey (real name Jay Middleton), Is an individual who dares to be different. An evolution from the VaderMonkey alias, originally adopted from a Facebook group that was part of the UK Rave community; of which he was a member. He has become a new musical entity, with a revitalized sense of direction in his music.

Over the period of over 20+ years. The education & evolution from an inhabitant of the dance floor to a diverse high velocity DJ/Producer, has taken many turns. A brief period from 2009 – 2012 was previously, an insight into the conduction of Techno driven music. Highly influenced by the European underground Techno scene, TEKNO Monkey integrates such influences with his sound. His love of Techno was born from the mid 2000’s German Techno scene, driven by dark impactive kicks and low resonated complimentary bass.

Whilst moving into a current era of the sound he discovered Schranz, a then very niche underground sound driven by filtered percussive drum patterns programmed at high velocity. His curiosity took hold, but his perception of the UK dancefloors didn’t meet his love for the sound, so he put his techno interests on hold to pursue other genres (a decision driven by opportunities elsewhere in the UK Rave scene).

10 years pass by and rediscovery sets about a change in path, after an opportunity to play his sound again during the summer of 2024. The Techno feeling was back and TEKNO Monkey returned.


The TEKNO Monkey alias embraces everything from the grittiness and industrial perceptions often associated with dark underground techno music but adds hints of neon color to express fun and clarity to his DJ performances.
TEKNO Monkey is an energetic and interactive performer; often lost in the music and the moment, but content with conducting his perception of dance floor mayhem. 

Expect new music from TEKNO Monkey to be circulating soon, as his decision to truly follow his path in the music he cherishes dearly will set about a new chapter in his musical journey.

Evolution drives us with passion, music is the soundtrack to our adventures.

Sjonkel Rolfsen is a vinyl enthusiast and music collector from Trondheim in Norway. He has been welding records at local venues and events for two decades. Nowadays, he mostly enjoys to fiddle around with experimental and ambient in the comfort of his humble abode, but still get the odd epiphany to wonder out into the enchanting world of house and techno. When he is not fumbling about on the decks, he likes to travel. He tries to play with the possibility of combining electronica and leftfield soundscapes, in a mixcast friendly way, catering to your everyday soundtrack needs.

Rob Van Arden Bio: 

Manchester based Trance/Hard Trance & Hard House Dj, Rob Van Arden is no stranger to the scene.

After discovering hard house & trance in London during the late 90's.
Attending nights such as Frantic, Heaven, The Gallery, Sunnyside Up & Trade.
Rob moved to Manchester & soon was a regular at nights like North, Sin:ergy, Gatecrasher, Goodgreef, Insomniacz & Sundissential North.

After getting his first set of decks he became a regular face at Manchester's legendary record shops Eastern Bloc & Spin Inn, at the time the beating heart of the city,s Dj scene. It is here, he perfected the art of digging deep into the crates of white labels & back shelf vinyls, always hunting for those rare, hard to get tunes to take the roof off his next Dj set.

It didn't take him long to get bookings & he was soon playing alongside his heroes, holding down a residency at North Hard House Reunion & gaining  bookings for brands such as Anthematics, Blueprint, The Howard, Goodgreef, Ideal (Tidy), North Hard House Reunion, Off The Rails, Rave On, We Like It Hard & Wax Format.

Over the years, Rob has supported many of the Dj's he originally looked up to, including Paul Oakenfold, Guy Ornadel, Signum, Scott Bond, The Thrillseekers, Simon Patterson, Jordan Suckley, Rob Tissera, The Tidy Boys, Andy Farley, B.K, Andy Whitby, Lab 4, Kutski, Mark E.G & M-Zone.

These earlier influences show in his sets, where he twists trippy acid lines, haunting vocals & rasping synths over thumping, driving beats.
Making his sets distinctive, wether it be Trance Or Hard House.

After a ten year break, Rob is back firing up the decks again. You can catch his upcoming, online sets on Abandoned Reality Radio, Keeping Hard Trance Alive & System Code.

Rob has also dabbled with production, gaining a release on Armin Van Burren's Who's Afraid Of 138 alongside Ally Brown, entitled "The Next Page" & also remixed the legendary OD404's 9Bar, under his Hoover Groover alias. Further productions are in the pipeline.
