Question 1

How do I book DTKS for a show?

Accepted Answer

Send your pitch to booking@dtks.tech with: production name, city, venue, estimated capacity, date, full line-up, fee range, Resident Advisor or Insta event link. Reply within 24 h weekdays, 48 h weekends. No agency, no middleman — direct contact with me.

Question 2

What fee band do you charge?

Accepted Answer

Three bands: EU-A (clubs <400 cap, city breaks, small open-airs) · EU-B (400–1500 clubs, B-stage festivals) · non-EU or 1500+ cap on request. I adapt to season, line-up and travel. Non-negotiable: decent hotel (no sketchy Airbnb), clean travel, minimum tech rider met.

Question 3

Are you still available in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Q2-Q4 2026 still open. Some Q1 slots too — first come, first booked. Already taking pre-options for 2027. Send fast, I announce as I go.

Question 4

What genres do I play?

Accepted Answer

Hard techno · acid · mental tekno · frenchcore · hardcore · tribe · acidcore · slices of gabber. BPM 150–200 depending on floor and slot. I can tune early-set (150-160 groove), peak-time (170-185 mental/acid) or closing frenchcore (190-200). Tell me the slot, I'll tune.

Question 5

Set length + format — what do you prefer?

Accepted Answer

Standard 60 / 90 / 120 min. Open-to-close (4h+) on request — warehouse all-nighter free-party style. Format: vinyl + USB mix, never pre-recorded. Everything live, one-take, improvised on the floor.

Question 6

What is 'Musiques Interdites'?

Accepted Answer

My signature track with Ipernezik, released 2021 on the Tekno Trip 07 vinyl compilation (Underground Tekno). Pure tekno, 180+ BPM, mental + acid. Cumulative +1.2M streams across platforms (SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify) plus physical vinyl distribution. Listen on soundcloud.com/underground-tekno or YouTube.

Question 7

Do you produce your own tracks?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all of them. Home-studio production from Bordeaux: Ableton Live + hardware (synths, drum machines, 303/909-style), personal sample crates, kicks designed from scratch, basslines and acid lines played live in the DAW. No ghost producer, no bought template. Co-production only when explicitly credited (Ipernezik on Musiques Interdites). Mix and master done in-house to keep the signature — that fast, broken, still-grooving grain. Minimum one release per year, no spam — every release goes through 30-50 revisions before hitting public.

Question 8

What about your other productions?

Accepted Answer

Recent originals: Le Flambeau (180 hardcore remix), Morbid Mind (160 mental tekno), Exil (160 mental acidcore), Exo (160 mental), Distorted Minds (150 hard techno), Chamunda (200 frenchcore). Most as free download on soundcloud.com/dtks1 — available for mix, remix and promo.

Question 9

Got any 2026 release coming?

Yes, minimum one release per year. Details stay quiet until the drop. If you're a label / A&R, reach via the booking form — I listen to every vinyl/digital pitch.
