The Teknoist & his labels // New Releases // Tour Info



Will this man ever run out of energy?  Not fucking likely!  Miike Teknoist as been at the forefront of Hardcore and Breakcore for over a decade now and the pacemaker isn't slowing down for anyone.  To our minds, he is one of the few truly orignal artists at this end of the musical spectrum.

From his humble beginnings in "the bay," he's emerged from the shadow of such luminaries as Dolphin, Hellfish and The DJ Producer, to reinvent the genre and to show us there was more to Core than just Hard.

As well as an extensive back catalogue on classic labels such as Deathchant, Planet Mu and Ad Noiseam, including two full length albums on the latter, Miike has also driven the scene forward with his own labels Ninja Columbo, Samurai Brylkreem and Our Fucking Jungle.



In addition to his many solo releases, he has also notched up a very impressive list of collaborative projects.  Starting out in what have become classic partnerships with Dolphin and Scheme Boy (arguably the reasons for Ninja Columbos original conception), he then moved on to working with Eustachian, MacheeeN Boi, End.User, Needle Sharing and Kitech to name but a few.  Many of these collaborations are still ongoing. His full length collab with End.User and Needle Sharing is now out on Ad Noiseam after a very special launch at the 2012 Maschinenfest Festival during End.User's set.  Check the video of that one-off performance here:


His collab work and new Ableton vs decks live show with Scheme boy is now under the name of Undead Roniin. Expect new EP's very soon on both Abused Recordings and Ninja Columbo. You can catch a little preview of that project here:



So, not content with constantly pushing the boundaries of hard electronics with his solo and collaborative work and running three top notch labels, The Teknoist has also been a great ambassador for the scene worldwide, with tours all across the globe.  This week sees the start of his debut tour of Australia:
