Still just 21 years of age, Alf Bamford AKA Technikal stands head and shoulders above all other producers in the Hard Dance scene.
Click here His energy-packed, innovative, immaculately produced anthems of the past 4 years have kicked some much needed freshness into the genre, and he has won the respect and admiration of his fans and peers thanks to mindblowing cuts like ‘Summasault’, ‘Overdrive’, and his remix of Stu Allan’s ‘It’s A Feeling’. After just a couple of years in the scene, he has had the likes of Lisa Lashes, BK, Rob Tissera and Nick Sentience knocking on his door, eager to collaborate with him. Quite simply, no other producer has made such a mark on the Hard Dance scene in recent years.
Technikal first found his passion for dance music as a young teenager, and was inspired by his older brother to take up music production. Producing from the age of thirteen, he got his first track signed at the age of seventeen - and has gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of records across the globe. Since being discovered by HeatUKs Spencer Freeland and Marc French in 2004, Technikal has made a truly meteoric through the Hard Dance scene. He has earned the respect of his peers and is consistently cited as one of the most talented and innovative producers around.
He’s also a mean DJ, having rocked the UK’s biggest and best clubs and festivals – from Creamfields to Frantic to HeatUK to Global Gathering – as well as having blown Holland’s enormous Dancevalley and Impulz festivals to pieces , and having shown Australia & New Zealand that the future of Hard Dance is safe in his hands on four previous tours.
At the 2007 and 2008 Hard Dance Awards, the public voted Technikal as runner up in the best producer, best remixer and best track categories. The Harderfaster Readers Awards 2007 and 2008 also proclaimed Technikal as the best producer and remixer of the year. Its unheard of for someone so young to conquer a dance music scene in such a short time, but Technikals production prowess is too mighty for the outcome to be anything less than this. Now fully in his stride, this young prodigy sets the pace for the Hard Dance scene.
