Saytek 

Saytek (aka Joseph Keevill) has gathered some serious momentum over the last few years, becoming one of the electronic music scene’s most in-demand live acts. With global recognition for his live modular shows and releases on Carl Cox and Christopher Coe’s Awesome Soundwave label.

Saytek has garnered acclaim the world over with his improvised live shows that see him using a myriad of kits including analog synths, sequencers, and drum machines alongside cutting edge digital technology to perform a unique blend of deep & hypnotic techno, acid, and house that is forward-thinking yet not forgetting influences from Detroit or the UK’s and Europe’s fiercely inventive 90’s electronic movement.
