Saytek Discusses Music Gear and Releases on Constant Circles & Hike Recordings

/in /by

As one of the UK’s most exciting acts, Saytek has carved out a unique position for himself over the last few years. Having built a reputation for innovative, improvised hardware heavy live sets that span the house and techno spectrum, he is now widely regarded as one of the nation’s very best live performers.

Two intensely creative minds meet for the twenty sixth release on Constant Circles, delivering a fusion of raw live house and techno with cutting edge street art, for Circuit 3am.

Saytek makes a welcome debut on Constant Circles with three fresh live jams, featuring his unique blend of deep techno & dubby house grooves. His improvised live sets use a myriad of kit both digital and analogue, and have garnered him critical acclaim the world over and established his place as one of the electronic music scene’s most in-demand live acts.

The release is paired perfectly with a distinguished piece of street inspired art from Unknown, one of the key players in the world-renowned Brighton street art scene. His street pieces are highly distinctive, but his studio works are also unique and dynamic, with the versatility to create on any medium and a vision for subtle and humorous storytelling.

6AM is no stranger to Saytek, having seen him featured for a mix and live session before, as well as several features. We have long recognized his talent and had the chance to speak him newly about his recent releases, and much more.
