Premiere: Saytek Unleashes Colossal “Live Stories” Album Via Detone Records

/in , /by

Since his explosion on to the scene with his acclaimed Machine Jams album on Cubism two years ago, Saytek’s live output has been hugely prolific with highlights including multiple EPs on Superfreq, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS and Darren Emerson’s Detone label.

Now deemed to ramp up the heat for 2018, the live techno pioneer is back with another colossal album for the label titled Live Stories, now available to listen and buy here. By far his most innovative work to date, Saytek has crafted 12 new cutting edge live jams created on the fly using a hybrid of analog and digital gear. ‘Live Stories’ seems him explore fresh sounds and push sonic boundaries from the menacing to the melodic through his inquisitive love of technology, whilst embracing the panoramic musical spectrum of techno, acid and house music.

“This album was created in the moment and captures the vibe of my recent tour dates, Its about creating music on machines as individual patterns and loops and arranging them live as well as creating new elements on the fly” – Saytek

/in /by

Following his highly acclaimed ‘Doppelganger EP’ on Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, Saytek continues to wow the dance music fraternity with his innovation and prowess, trailblazing his way on to playlists of the world’s DJ elite with his signature live jams. As 2017 gathers pace, the latest top dog to be seduced by Saytek’s magic is Detone label boss Darren Emerson, who has snapped up no less than 13 tracks for a series of EP releases. ‘Saytek Live Vol.1’ contains 6 cutting edge live jams that authentically join the dots between Techno and House, traveling between raw acid rubbed grooves, dark, hypnotic pulsating loops and sophisticated, enchanting melodies.

Last month we interviewed Saytek when he released on KMS Records, and had him as a guest on our Facebook page for a two-hour live jamming session directly from his studio in London, which you can watch here.

This is what Emerson had to say about Saytek’s upcoming releases on his label:

I’m really happy to have Saytek back on my Detone label with six live tracks. Over the past few months I’ve been road testing them at clubs around the world and they have been smashing every floor! Always a pleasure to work with my man Joseph, he’s a great talent with a great ear for the dance floor. Expect to see us both doing some nights together in the future.. Bravo Saytek!!!!!
