Alt8

About

Alt8 doesn't just play techno; he excavates it, unearthing raw, primal sounds from the depths of the electronic music landscape. This isn't the polished, crowd-pleasing techno of main stages. Alt8’s music is a gritty, industrial tapestry woven from acid-tinged synths, relentless percussion, and cavernous soundscapes, drawing heavy influence from early Detroit techno and the harder edges of EBM. He honed his craft in the underground scenes, building a dedicated following with his uncompromising sound and intense live performances. His breakthrough came with a string of releases on respected techno labels, solidifying his place as a purveyor of authentic, uncompromising techno. Alt8’s sonic signature is a deliberate rejection of trends, a commitment to the core tenets of the genre while pushing its boundaries with experimental sound design. Recent projects showcase a move toward incorporating live instrumentation and modular synthesis, promising an even more visceral and unpredictable sonic experience. He’s a force to be reckoned with in the modern techno scene, a testament to the enduring power of the genre's raw, unfiltered energy.
