Birmingham, United Kingdom

SBCTZN (Tony Grainger) has constantly
provoked the experimental air
disturbances in the city of Birmingham,
UK. After studying sound engineering,
he started working at 'Tempest
Records', in charge of the techno/
electro/electronica buyer. From there
he was head hunted to prominent
international vinyl distribution
company 'Integrale Muzique' the
company that started and propagated
the Birmingham techno sound. From
this perspective he was privileged in
trading records to and from the UK and
around the world.

In promotion and DJ'ing, the style of
music has varied widely but 'glitch' and
super-editing-loop-defiance is always
the intention whatever the rhythm
pattern.
This could be catering for the heavy
dancefloor wherever necessary, or
subtler abstractions for more artistic
back drops.
Whether it be booking artists or
selecting records, the raison d'etre has
been presenting cutting edge
experimentation across a wide variety
of spliced genres.
