TECHMANNZKI – HALF MEAT HALF BEAT

Born at the start of the 80’s, grew up in the small town of Bienefeld, Germany. Moved to Hamburg where he did, does and will do what he spends most of his free time doing … crafting fine beats that make him happy.

Growing up with a sister 7 years older led Techmannski on the path to the ‘right’ music. Influences from an early age from all angles including rock, metal, punk and synth-pop from the 80’s gave Tech the idea that maybe not only listening to music was great, but making it to.

Out came the tape decks, and with a well-used overdub button, he started to lay track on track.

With the advent of the home computer in the mid 90’s, a whole new world of possibilities opened up to Techmannski. With like-minded friends, rap, drum and bass, house and techno were all messed around and experimented with, and after a short while was noticed by drum and bass legend DJ Myer, who had him shipped over to his label Hiddentape. It was here that Tech could further his own personal style, with is now a unique combination of techno, breaks, hip hop and a good dose of humour.

Time for Techmannzki!
