‘Manitoba EP’ is the debut release from Sam Russo, a 23 year old emerging techno talent from Southend-on-Sea. Russo has been developing his own take on house and techno and his Dj abilities have been rewarded with a residency for Mr C, at his Superfreq night in Southampton as well as regular gigs at London venues such as SeOne, Pacha and the Aquarium, now it’s time for him to step up as a producer and show what he has to offer.

The EP kicks off with the original of ‘Fuck my MPC’, a deep and pulsating house cut built around tight beats, deep keys and some rather risqué spoken word vocals. First of the ‘Fuck my MPC’ remixes comes from Cecille and Tsuba artist Huxley who shows why he is such hot property at the moment with an incredible slow mo house reworking that is deep soulful house personified. Next up we have the uber talented engineer/producer/artist Saytek who takes a tough and hypnotic approach with his wonderful techy bass driven remix.

The second original track comes in the form of ‘Manitoba’, a warm, pad drenched slab of deep house that oozes class from every bar and shows incredible musical maturity for this young producers debut release. The two remixes of ‘Manitoba’ are supplied by Canadian electronic music hero Nitin who delivers a stripped yet wonderfully organic sounding slice of house and UK based dub techno producer Youandewan who turns in a truly sublime slice of deep and mesmeric tech house.

To round the package off there is a final mix of ‘Fuck my MPC’ from Nick Jun who provides a superb alternative version that draws on discordant FX, percussive loops and bumpin bass to create a solid piece of house.

Having just received a cracking remix from this lad on the forthcoming Russo EP, Fullbarr thought it best to let you have a look into his antics...

Saytek aka Joseph Keevill is a self confessed "Geek with a Passion" who was jamming with synths, drum machines and a Tandy mixer from the tender age of 8. Whilst other kids were collecting Star Wars toys, Saytek was dragging his mum around car boot sales looking for obsolete synths or creating sound warping algorithms on his commodore 64.
Saytek has been a major player in the scene for almost 10 but has just risen to underground hero status in recent years, releasing successful deep tech house and techno records since 2001 all of which have been met with critical acclaim, as well as being championed by the world’s most respected DJs. Fast forward 2010, Saytek is a live artist, an innovator and pioneer who brings real meaning to the term "Live" in electronic music arena.

Using Classic roland hardware, cutting edge 21st century computer technology and a myriad of noise mangling gadgets, Saytek creates & improvises on the fly. Not only is all the music his own but it is truly performed live in response to the crowd. His shows are so awe inspiring that he has been sited by both press and underground music fans as one of the best live acts to emerge in recent times. His reputation as a performer alone has earned him the place as headliner at some of Europe’s most highly regarded parties, an accolade shared only by the cream of underground house and techno talent.

His technical flare is coupled with fierce music integrity which has remained in tact since he was introduced and fell in love with Detroit techno and acid house at the age of 13. Saytek's style is deep, rolling, thoughtful and designed to rock the peak time dance floor. He combines the new house and techno phenomenon with elements of dub, soulful Detroit , chi-town beats, tribal percussive grooves, retro acid , Free jazz and Latin flavours to provide a unique and refreshing journey.

After incredible launch parties at both T Bar in London and Sankey’s in Manchester, Saytek’s 2nd album “Live from the Other Side” is now available on Channel Zoo records. Recorded live at The Zoo Project last Summer 2009 in front of thousands of Ibiza’s finest party people. Live from the Other Side caught a moment of musical history. The album is a follow up to his hugely successful "live From The seal Pit" recorded in 2008 an album that was one of the most popular CDs for sale in Ibiza in 2009. The new album is flying out to all corners of the world before the 2010 season has even begun.

Saytek will be releasing re-edits and remixes by top producers of
Saytek’s live material coming soon.
