Saytek - ‘Times Change EP’
February 26, 2007
In demand UK techno producer and live act Saytek launches his brand new digital label: Machine Func Records in April with the excellent ‘Times Change EP’ featuring three lush tracks of outstanding beauty and dance floor impact all recorded live and direct utilising one of the most significant pieces of software of recent years: Ableton live.
Saytek or 28 year old Joseph Keevill is a unique talent that has been bubbling away on the underground since the turn of 2000. With releases on high profile labels such as Kingsize, Evolved, Console and Blue & Black his music has been championed some of the most respected DJ’s on the scene as well as gracing the decks (well CD Decks/laptops) of thousands of underground DJs across the globe.
His work has attracted industry praise and critical acclaim with his unique take on ‘live’ electronic music already seeing him push overground, Saytek prefers to generate hundreds of loops using Ableton Live and Roland hardware as his tools, his genre-defying shows take the rulebook and throw it out of the window. Improvisation is the key, taking the notion of a DJs crowd reading to the next level. Saytek arranges, mixes, triggers, re-samples and tweaks effects on the fly making his electrifying shows as live as pattern-based electronic music gets.
His labour intensive sets never fail to rock the crowd and he has quickly established a reputation on Europe’s dance floors as one of the hottest live acts around. In a short period of time this has lead to bookings in top clubs across the UK and Europe where he has played peak time slots alongside some of the worlds most respected DJS.
The label will serve as vehicle for Saytek’s own productions as well as collaboration projects, utilising Ableton and Roland hardware so it can capture the raw energy of his infamous live shows. Rather than sticking to one genre Machine Func will provide quality dance floor electronics spanning techno, electronica , underground house and electro breaks with the view to rocking the floor as well as emotive and intricate listening experience.
