Biography

[edit]

Bamford started becoming known as a "cutting edge" hard dance DJ c. 2002, when his single "Annihilation" garnered significant airplay on the BBC Radio 1 John Peel show.[2] Bamford, as well as being known under the alias Technikal, also releases music under the further alternate name Technikore.[3]

Technikal reached number 10 in the UK official dance music chart in 2005, with his single "Global Panic/System Shock".[4] As Technikore Bamford has performed on BBC Radio 1, including a guest mix for the Kutski show in 2011.[5]

In January 2012 Technikal released the mix album Resonate 6 - The Brutal Sound of Hard Trance on the Tidy Trax label. It was critically well received in Mixmag magazine with a 10/10 rating, and was named Compilation of the Month.[6] Later in September that same year, the Technikal "eclectic" hard dance compilation album Soldier of Sound was also named as Mixmag Compilation of the Month.[2]

As Technikore, along with Andy Farley and Mark Eg, he released the 2012 compilation album Harder Louder Faster. Featuring tracks running at c. 140-175 BPM, the album was named as a Mixmag Compilation of the Month for November.[7]

As Bamford, he co-wrote the Example song "All the Wrong Places", which peaked at number 13 in the UK singles chart in 2013.[8][9] In September 2016 his single produced with Steve Hill and Yoz, "Keep On Rockin", was named as Mixmag tune of the month.[10] In 2022 a track co-produced with Suae, "Dance With The Groove", was included on the compilation album Devotions: Chapter I.[11]

As of 2016, Bamford has moved to Australia.[12]
