"The production is top-notch, but the real draws are the melodies that reside within the house beats." -REMIX MAGAZINE
"...the music doesn't swerve too far out of the bounds of what might be described as "Jenny Wilson-lite" or "a less weird Bjork." But where I come from that's high praise." -IBIZA-VOICE
"a near perfect mix of texture and melody, balancing the features of solid electronica." - RAVES.COM
"...the Squirrels balance their attraction to straightforward, catchy melodies with a willingness to experiment." - WEST COAST PERFORMER

TechnoSquirrels is a San Francisco based electronica collaboration between music producers Lisa Eriksson and Ryan Harlin.
They have released 3 EPs and a full-length LP to date, been featured artists on KCRW's Sounds Eclectic with Nic Harcourt, BBC's Radio 1, XM Satellite Radio, MTV's The Real World (Sydney), The Real World (Hollywood), Road Rules Challenge, and Sci-Fi Channel's Regenesis. Recently they released their first video. The track "Love Comes First" charted on Nr 1 on Sirius Satellite Radio's Top 40 (Channel 35) in November 2007. The track was also included on Om Record's Chill Compilation (Volume 2). A remix of the track "Love Comes First (Styrofoam Kid Remix) was recently included on Paul Van Dyk's Ibiza Cream Compilation, in stores July 2008.
Lisa grew up in Sweden - a country known for its long winter nights. But where there are long nights, there are long raves and Lisa quickly found herself immersed in Sweden's techno scene in the early 90s. "Fluke and Underworld," says lisa. "That was my awakening. I instantly traded in my collection of Black Sabbath vinyl for a Korg MS-10 and a Roland 606 drum machine."
Ryan is straightforward about his exposure to Techno. "I hated it. I had long discussions with 'music purists' denouncing the repetition and 8 note loops." It was a move to England in the mid-90s that changed Ryan's mind. Living in Liverpool in the shadow of England's famed "CREAM" dance club, Ryan couldn't avoid a flurry of electronic music that went beyond what he had thought possible. It was in Liverpool that Lisa and Ryan met, but it wasn't where Techno Squirrels started. Lisa and Ryan continued working on their own projects.
Lisa became one half of the Euro-Art-Rock band, Schulte/Eriksson - who's single eventually found its way to legendary BBC DJ John Peele. She also lent her voice to Ladytron's breakthrough single, "He Took Her To A Movie." Ryan, however, took a break from music as a co-founder of Emo Riot Productions. After moving to Los Angeles, Lisa worked on new beats she would regularly show Ryan her latest ideas.
Meanwhile, a third party made regular appearances outside the window - a friendly neighborhood squirrel whose fear of humans was outweighed by his taste for organic hazelnuts. The ideas Lisa shared with Ryan quickly became collaborative projects - Techno Squirrels was born.
