Sat 17/Oct/09

A night of free techno-laced electronica for the Sydney massive massive – our gift to you.

After a long cold winter in semi hibernation, we decided the first TECHnique of Summer 09 we should do something a little special and invite two special guests along to our humble little bestfest. First cab off the rank is a man that no introduction could do justice. Pushing the decks to one side and treating us to a heaped helpin’ of live techno, Sydney’s production juggernaut Biz.

Then…

Biz is one of Australia’s pioneer DJs/producers, and has been a key player in the game since the days of acid house. He has had the chance to work with over 50 of the world’s greats from Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, through to Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Aphex Twin and just about every other DJ/producer who has made their mark over the last two decade in the world of techno. As a producer, Biz has released over 20 records worldwide through UK and European distributors and has been charted by the likes of Villalobos, Dave Clarke and Derrick May. In 2005 he remixed Green Velvet’s La La Land for Ministry of Sound, and later in that year did a CD release for Wetmusik. He has run three record stores over the last decade and compiled releases for labels such as Force inc and Detroit’s legendary Submerge. He has worked with Roland promoting their dance product and he also promoted the legendary Flash parties, events that introduced Sydney to the pioneering artists of Detroit and awarded 3D’s Party of the Year twice. Touring greats such as Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Claude Young, DJ Godfather and DJ Rolando. He also ran Chinese Laundry’s club night Tech-ni-kal for two years which was the southern hemisphere’s equivalent to Berlin’s Tresor.

Now…

Currently Biz is concentrating 100% on getting his music out there and has a distribution deal for his label cliq with DJ Godfather’s Electrobounce in Detroit. He has also started up label Machinemusik to coincide with his Music software training studio in Darlinghurst. All releases are available through Beatport. His current release on cliq was number one on Dave Clarke’s top ten techno chart.
