Biography:

Tekfox has been dropping beats and making heads nod for as long as I can remember. I've been following him for the better part of 6 years, studying and learning everything about him. This elusive fox is difficult to pin down, moving from genre to genre over the course of his musical career he finally decided to settle into a cozy corner of the obscure, enjoying his glitchy rythems, and deep basslines. A true master behind the decks, measured at over 9000, his energy, technical ability and ego are rivaled only by his humility.

A true social creature by nature, Tekfox is known to be found wandering around conventions speaking of musical endavors, sharing the gospel of dubstep, and the love of his craft with anyone who will listen. His only natrual predators are other DJs, LFOs, gin & tonics, and trance music. When cornered and sensing danger Tekfox uses his intoxifying beats to draw DJs in and drop lightbulbs on their heads (true story!). Approach with cautious optimisim.

Like a lotus flower blooming, Tekfox will be making his yearly Anthrocon appearance. The heavy dnb beats from this fox are unmistakable, and unavoidable. Make sure you arrive early, drink plenty (of water), and wear head protection as lightbulbs have been known to rain down from above.
