I want 2 take u back 2 the year 1996. I was a serving soldier on a huge exercise in Poland. During this exercise we were given a day off to sort ourselves, our kit n our armoured vehicles. The sun was shining and i decided 2 chill on top ov my warrior n clean my weapon. The tank crew in front were doing the same but they pulled out a little hifi n slammed on some tunes. I instantly vibed with these tunes. It was only Hardhouse and im sure it was an Anne Savage cd! I was instantly hooked and from then on Hardhouse has been my music love. Here i am at 45. After eating so many sets at so many events my mid life crisis came. Some get bikes, cars. I got me a set ov decks n a set ov monitors in July 23. 
I self taught myself how 2 beat match but really i had no clue. Then Dj Donut my dear friend gave me a set at his event Spooky. I was using Spideys set up and didn’t have a scooby doo. Spidey being a pure legend gave me a master class, crash bang course and by the end of the set things had clicked into place and a beast was born. Since then ive slammed the decks. Ive released mixes on my soundcloud n joined the twitch craze. But thru all of this Synergy has been my driving passion. The fork father once said way back wen with a set like that you could open Synergy.  Well that just gave me the drive to perfect my style. Then boom. Synergy christmas party i was given an opening slot and got to play for my beautiful hardhouse fam and sum very dear personal friends. I loved it and then boom a little while later i got a bigger slot during prime time at the Synergy secret party. I love Synergy. I love what it stands for and what its become. To become a resident for Synergy was my number one goal. Apart from that i luv playing on the decks blending hardhouse together around the 155-7 bpm range and blows my mind that there are people out there who also like what i do. Big love n good vibes.

Oh yeah, ive now Become a Resident DJ 4 the beautiful Synergy. Even scored a residency wiv Stiffy, Im closing Room 2 at the Meltdarn reloaded event wiv Lots more big things in the pipeline. Good things really do happen 😍😍 Ive even taught my soulmate Petra how 2 mix n it blows my mind how good shes become. Please check her out n search 4 Neonqueen on soundcloud. I just luv 2 go b2b wiv her n wen we play 2gether we r NeonTrip. 

Big Luv n huge hugs 😍🤩😍

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.

VaderMonkey (Jay Middleton/Orbital Simian/TEKNO Monkey) Fun-Tech  Hard House & Techno, Hard Trance, Trance, Progressive House.

His open minded sound and ear for the clubbing community, has won over support from across the globe, his interaction and charisma, behind the decks make him an individual personality that refuses to conform, to monotonous ideologies.

His various sounds ranging from TRANCE to HARD DANCE, provide an open minded look on electronic music, to the clubbers and listeners internationaly. Its a common understanding that his perception of the clubbing scene, is  understood by the crowds who enjoy his mesmerizing journeys.

He's here to evolve the sound of electronic dance music, for the future.

Techno, Trance, Psy and Old Skool DJ from the UK.
