Since he exploded on to the scene with his acclaimed ‘Machine Jams’ album on Cubism 2 years ago, Saytek‘s live output has been hugely prolific with highlights including multiple E.Ps 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’. 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
