2016 was a phenomenal year for one of electronic dance music’s most innovative live artists, Saytek. His ‘Machine Jams’ live album received global acclaim, as well as becoming one of Carl Cox‘s favourite albums of the year; his renowned Facebook Live Jams received views in excess of a million people and he’s performed live shows all over the world.. Now Saytek is ready to kick start his 2017! Two brand new freshly constructed live jams – ‘Doppelganger’, a pressure filled slice of driving Techno and ‘Revolutionize’, which glows with it’s lush melodic hook, have been snapped up by the legendary Kevin Saunderson for an EP on his KMS label, now celebrating their 30th year!
“For me it’s an honour to be on Kevin Saunderson’s KMS label and even more so now having had a few releases on the imprint to be now making my way towards being key member of the label. Detroit Techno was a huge part of my musical education when I was younger, I was totally in love Kevin’s E Dancer productions. ‘Doppelganger’ and ‘Revolutionize’ are both Live Jams which I’ve already tried and tested at Tresor (Berlin), fabric (London), Salon Daome (Montreal) along with numerous gigs and they have really worked well with the crowd.” – Saytek
UK artist Saytek (aka Joseph Keevill) writes, produces and performs everything live. He has gathered some serious momentum in recent years becoming one of the electronic music scene’s most in-demand live acts. Saytek has performed shows at The Zoo Project, The Terrace of Space in Ibiza; fabric, Egg and Fire in London, to being fully embraced by Berlin’s underground scene performing regularly at Tresor, Golden Gate, Salon – Zur wilder Renate, Chalet, Sisyphos, Kosmonaught, Ipse, among others. Saytek has a relentless tour schedule with gigs at some of the best clubs and festivals around the world!
Saytek has earned respect the world over with his improvised live shows that see him using a myriad of kit. Guilty as charged as having too many buttons, he is a master of musical technology with a unique energy and ear for melody and knows exactly how to make each piece of studio kit dance to his visionary ideas. Saytek‘s music output is prolific and includes EPs and live albums – recently ‘Machine Jams’ on his own Cubism label. He has also relased on labels such as Liebe*Detail, Soma, Bedrock, My Favorite Robot Records, Wiggle, Monique Musique, fabric (London Club), Golden Gate Club Records, My Favourite Freaks, KMS and many more.
His work has graced the playlist of the dj elite including no.1 fan Carl Cox who played 6 tracks in rotation from ‘Machine Jams’ album at international gigs for 6 months, including his final season at Space Ibiza, Output Brooklyn, Radio 1 Essential Mix, Hyte Berlin NYE and various festivals. Other Saytek supporters include Derrick May, Ryan Elliot, Laurent Garnier, De La Swing, Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire, Danny Rampling, Pyscatron and Roger Sanchez, in the last year alone. Saytek was nominated for Best Live Act by DJ Mag for their 2013 Awards; while Mixmag awarded ‘Album Of The Month’ the same year. 2017 already looks set to be an exciting year with new releases including a remix for Jamie Jones & Lee Foss for their new label Emerald City and he has just signed 13(!) live jam tracks to Darren Emerson’s (Underworld) Detone label.
