Siknik is the invention of Nick Swanson, a crude song writer looking
For a way to channel his subversive thoughts. Siknik has even tried therapy
And still cannot find a soloution for his insanity!. He takes refuge in the thought that his music could effect people in the most negative way possible
Or positively {depends on his day!}, themes stend from nightstalkers, entitys, dictatorships, anarchy, and looking at this dirty world with your eyes wide fucking open!
Siknik has been featured on UPFM's "the beat dungeon", and is played on radio stations across NZ!
“The Beats in your brains EP” came about with the title track being remixed by infamous UK Drum and bass producer, Breakbeatpimp, who has played along side the likes of Roni Size, Goldie, Metalheadz, Adam F, to name a few, The remix is the song we know today..A Video for “Beats in your Brains” is in the talks at the moment with award winning 3D Animator “Rhyce Barker”.
The rest of the CD is 3 other tracks made solely by SIKNIK, in the drum and bass/ambient style “made for people on downers or escaped mental patients” -siknik, 2007.
The Cd is the first single off a full length cd “Depravity”due to be released next year.
A follow up cd to “beats in your brain” is been produced right now, and a full album should be out very soon, so keep your eyes open, or closed!...

"Sonic Confinement" was released to mark the first chapter of UP FM's Beat Dungeon Radio show, which features tunes by and interviews with NZ dance/electronic artists. The compilation features tracks from the musicians who guested on the show in its first 7 months of existence, including Siknik's "Mad House/Close Your Eyes".

Download from link below (Tracklisting within). You can also download and print the CD artwork if you wish to burn the mix to CD!
So I'm back from NY, hope you got the yousendit link in your inbox, PB is all good for myspace and other promo... will get it prof. mastered in a month or so... Hope you've been well!
Hey buddy, liking your new song! Sounds a bit like LCD Soundsystem. I quite like them, I bought their latest album and it's alot like Talking Heads (one of my favourite bands). Are you not doing the rap thing anymore? Sounds good, where did the vocals come from? Did you do them and pitch shift them or someone else? I like this new direction!
