There is a legend about a warrior panda whose origins can be traced back all the way to a time when the art of mixing was still in its infancy. Some say he is a direct descendant of the founding fathers of techno. Others say he lived in a cave for years, practicing his transitions tirelessly, while many believe he acquired his flawless mixing powers through some obscure black magic ritual. However it may be, history books show that he first rose to prominence in the vinyl era, taking up a residency in the legendary Outline after club. Colleagues today hail his mastery of mixing arts as second to none; his productions as being crisp and packing a serious punch. This recently landed him assignments on labels such as MTZ Noir, Ithica Records, Subwoofer Records, Underground Records, Strohm Records and Soulflex Records while serving as a beacon of experience for the Nobody Listens To Techno collective. As one of the hardest working pandas in techno, Tie Kez, always comes prepared. His plan of attack, when conquering yet another dance floor, usually includes a steady flow of beats and an endless stream of neatly interwoven industrial and dark techno tracks. For Tie Kez, techno is about creating stories, creating moments, community and above all: about making your legs move as if you were possessed by a demon. Rarely will you encounter a more modest legend.
