  • Bio

    .. .. ..CONTACT...... .. ..BOOKINGS:.... bookings@toddsines.com .... ..PROMOS:.... promos@toddsines.com .... ..PRODUCTION / REMIX REQUESTS.... contact@toddsines.com .... ..BIOS.... From the flat fields of Ohio to the concrete jungle of New York, Todd Sines' environments; real and virtual, have served as inspiration for his unique, hybrid sound. His post punk, industrial, and hip-hop upbringings, filtered through an obsession with analogue and early digital technology, resulted in stripped down electronic funk; before minimal was mnml -- it was just effective. Through his techno band, Body Release, with key Ohio players Titonton Duvanté, Charles Noel [Archetyp] and Mike Szewczyk, they dabbled in early rave sounds before embarking on their own paths. Todd's introduction in early 1993 to Detroit's Carl Craig and Daniel Bell resulted in seminal releases with Peacefrog, Planet E and 7th City by year end. Catching the ear of Richie Hawtin, "boiling point" was featured on his debut mix CD in 1995 on Mixmag. Soon after, releases on Andy Vaz's Background Records and Titonton's own Residual brought his sound to house and techno aficionados worldwide. Since his move to New York in 2003, he's worked with a variety of other artists, including !!!, Death in Vegas, Liquid Liquid's Sal Principato; he's remixed Alexander Robotnick, Paul Randolph, Robert Owens, Moonstarr, Adam Marshall, Lanoiraude and more. With his new material with Natacha Labelle on Frankie, he pushes the boundaries of house music, and with the resurrection of his .xtrak alias on YORE, his return to jackin' minimal funk reminds people of where it all started. .... ..DESIGN BIO:..

Le label parisien dirigé par Frank(ie) peut se féliciter d’avoir mis le grappin sur Todd Sines... Vous vous rappelez ce producteur qui est l’auteur de pas mal de perles techno au début 90’ en collaboration avec Daniel Bell notamment (xtrak, Peacefrog, Seventh City). Il s’aventure cette fois vers un son plus house que ces derniers opus ce qui ne nous dérange pas bien au contraire. Même si les 4 tracks du maxi ont été créés dans 4 studios différents de Toronto et New York, les tracks se suivent assez bien et une ambiance “housy” se dégage du maxi. La voix suave de Natacha Labelle y est certainement pour quelque chose. Les influences de la Motor city se ressentent assez bien. Des claviers made in D3 soutenus par des beats sourds et entraînants, le tout hyper compressé, vous pouvez imaginer le résultat en club. .... Now, for the Google Translation:.. 2/02/2007.. The Parisian label directed by Frank (IE) can be pleased to have put the hook on Todd Sines… You remember this producer who is the author of step badly of pearls techno at the beginning of 90' in collaboration with Daniel Bell in particular (xtrak, Peacefrog, Seventh City). It ventures this time towards a sound plus house that the latter opus what does not disturb us quite to the contrary. Even if the 4 tracks of maximum were created in 4 studios different of Toronto and New York, the tracks are followed rather well and an environment “housy” emerges from the maximum one. The voice suave of Natacha Labelle is there certainly for something. The influences of Motor city feel rather well. Keyboards made in D3 supported by happy deaf persons and involving, the whole hyper compressed, you can imagine the result in club. .... ....TOP 10 for FEB 2007.... 1.
