TECH[TON]IK explores ‘channeling’, time travel, and remix. It sources from numerous archives to explore the ‘techno somatic’: healing practices of sound moving through body and body through sound. This channel special homage to ‘tektonik’, a dance style popular in the early/mid 2000’s, as a parallel to the evolution of Techno, a genre grounded in Black culture (the Detroit music scene in the 80’s) before taking on subsequent, globalized iterations.
