(Bio for Decibel Festival by Shilo Urban of Culturemob.com)
Ctrl_Alt_Dlt has smacked down upon Seattle a sick rain of slick Detroit techno, engulfing all who hear his minimal style in a barbarous fury of dance fever. With seemingly less effort than an eyebrow twitch he harnesses the fierce and undulating beats, the feral ebb and flow that is techno, and shoves it into your body and your brain. A recent firestorm of techno-love has landed on Seattle, and all you need is the name ‘Ctrl_Alt_Dlt’ to bring dancers out to the party whether it is under a bridge, in a forest, or at a sweaty club at six in the morning. As a resident of LiveNLove and a founding member of the Seattle techno production company Sweatbox, Ctrl_Alt_Dlt creates sets that not only expose the listeners’ minds to a complete surfing of intense highs and lows but also to the weirdest, most abstract sounds and textures out there. Wipe the drool off your chin kids, this is the DJ that techno built.
Ctrl_Alt_Dlt is a Seattle based DJ originally hailing from the tame streets of suburban Detroit. "I went to my first party in 1999 and I have had this insatiable appetite for techno music ever since, I just can't get enough." Strongly influenced by the sounds coming out of the Motor City, Ctrl_Alt_Dlt has taken the genre of techno and made it his own. His sets are rooted in the minimal sound with an emphasis on the more abstract side of things, while also fully incorporating all elements of techno and tech house creating a set full of highs and lows, never giving away too much at a time. "I like to find tracks that have the wierdest most abstract noises possible. Exposing people's minds to sounds and textures they have never heard before is my ultimate goal." In addition to residencies around the city Ctrl_Alt_Dlt is also a founding member of Sweatbox, a strictly techno based productions group who continue to bring the underground flavor to the city.
