bio:
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", as .xtrak was
featured on his debut mix CD in 1995 on Mixmag. Soon after, releases
on Andy Vaz's Background Records, Charles' 21/22 Corp, and Titonton's
own Residual brought his sound to house, electro 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, Savas Pascalidis,
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.
