Les Techno returns with production that presents songs of social satire with sonic influences
ranging from hip-hoppy grooves and 80βs punk-wave to electric guitar psychedelia and
electronic music.
Les Techno trained as a guitarist. He also learned to work with analog synthesizers, analog tape and razor blades to make atonal music. He was a New York City punk that played in the bands Sim-Stim and Love Posse. He worked on tracks with Run DMC, Mobb Deep and Onyx (among others), and did the Red Hot Chili Peppers remix of Higher Ground. Les Techno produced reggae dance-hall records for Georgie Blacks (Kickup Unwine, RCA), and techno records for Stimulator (Are you a Freak?, PowWow).
