Thony Ekström

Under artist names as; "Ekström" (Hard Techno, Techno,) & "LowTekk" ( ~120-130 BPM LowTekk Sound )

First Time.
Heard his First electronic music in the year 1994 at the age of 12. It was simple dance music actually like E-type. And from there it got harder and harder until he found trance, (not so hard but harder then dance anyway). But in late 1998 he also found Hardcore from the label ID&Ts Thunderdome.
He listen too that for a few months, almost a year, but it was not hard "enough".

Hardtrance Years turned Hard Techno.
And in a way he missed the trancy feeling too...
So in late 1999 he heard a hardtrance set with DJ Scot Project. And he was amazed at the tune Overdrive produced by scot project (Frank Zenker). He listen too hardtrance and darktrance for almost 2-3 years. BUT in summer-autumn 2002, he downloaded a Hardsignal.com set with DJ Amok. And he was again amazed at the sound and evilness. And that same year he started too produce with the program Frutiy loops and has only produced with that program. Even listen too industrial Hardcore and some darkcore these days and it´s good inspirations styles.

Produceing starts and harder sounds will be made.
So he started too look and look and look for more music that had that evil feeling sound, and getting “better” at producing (he believed). At the moment he did not know that it was Hard techno he wanted too listen to (and even produce). But in spring/summer 2003, it came like a gift sent from above!. He heard several sets from producers and Djs like, Frank Kvitta, Mario Ranieri, Viper XXL and Sven Wittekind etc etc.
He started also too get the main points down how too produce the hard techno style!...

Buys his own computer for produceing, and improve his sounds.
He also lived with his older brother, so he borrowed his computer for producing. But something happen with the damn computer and it crashed and his brother forbid Thony too produce on it, he said that he have to buy his own computer. So in August Thony bought his own computer parts and another producer friend helped him too put it together, and then produced a tune named “Lets Schranz Your Brain Out” and it was the first tune for a looong time, almost 4 months. And people really enjoyed it. Tune after tune he improved himself!.

The homebase is here, promoting others will start too.
In December 2003 and January 2004 he fix a homepage with the help of a good friend. And the site Ekström-Productions.mine.nu was born. And almost all (90 of his tunes is on there, so go there and listen to the early productions of the producer of tomorrow . On the site you will also find other producers tracks, not only techno. And many other things!. Whole of 2004 has been a good year for Ekström, good productions, almost signed, and it’s a matter of time before he will get signed as well.

These Days and the network growing bigger!.
And in the meantime he has made a big network of sites and producers who link too him and he link to them. In late 2004 he have had several tunes played by a few DJs as well. He thinks that 2005 is going to be his year!... At the 1st of January 2005 he released yet another site http://www.tekkno-sweden.se a forum for hard techno freaks. An international and swedish home for the hard techno dudes. And it’s growing larger and larger. He also plan too be a DJ somewhere in 2005, so BEWARE!!!...

This update of bio is in 13th August 2006.
Tekkno-sweden, did get hacked 2 times under 2005, so myself did not have the energy of too work on the site again. And lost many many contacts, and fans when all this shit happend. Have the domain untill December 2006, and link now too XTT site threw www.tekkno-sweden.se
I´m also still is no DJ yet, and still produce music, but in various styles, mostly industrial, hard techno or something that is into core. Hope to get signed soon. And f course my softer stuff, under LowTekk alias.

But under July 2005 i bought a new site, www.X-T-T.com (or old link: www.xtremeturntableterror.com)
This is way better then tekkno-sweden ever was, it has forum, much artists, and so much other stuff you should see by yourself.

Also bougth a homepage www.thonyekstrom.com in February 2006. But has not much ont eh site yet. I´m slow with my project as many people know. I also bought several other sites under the 2nd half of 2005. but those ones is dead and barried.

More updates will follow under the fall of 2006.

Ok time for a update: The date is 2007-10-02!
Under 2006 i decided to get more power to the dutch crew of XTT, and it turn well at first, they share ideas and projects as nice friends, and then i did get my hands full personal outside the internet world, so they worked and worked very much on the site and ideas.
And after a while i did get a bad stomach feeling about they wanted to take over the site themselfs, and i tryed to stay in crew and come up with some crazy ideas myself again, and still was very busy outside the internet world. And then they thought the idea of gettin XTT dutch to 100% was a good idea, since the traffic was more or less to 90% dutch!
Ok i said, but did not really want too do this withe the orginal site of XTT, i wanted to do a platform netowrk instead. one idea/project that was on the focus of gettin more local then international, so i did bought a new domain named Alle Man Till Slakt (www.allemantillslakt.com) that was for the nordic scene in general.
And then do this new site (without a name) were we could chosse what platform we wanted to go to. Or the 2nd idea was to do X-T-T.com as the orginal first page then from there go to the dutch or nordic scene. Anyhow the dutch crew did not follow my ideas and started to act little bit weird towards me, that was what i felt anyway.
And January 2007, they sent me a mail that i was no more crew member of XTT, since they bought the shorter XTT domian in holland some months before, it was then i really understood the fact they was planning this for months. And then we started to ignore eatch other on the internet in January more or less. So my big project i wanted to do really big and famous all over the globe, is chapter is no more.
I do not think people should ignore XTT in future, but i also dont think people should support them either. It is a thought you have to make up for your own mind what is right and wrong in this.

Anyway under 2006/2007 i also bought more domains, so i could do my own genious little private network of sites, that you will see later on.
The new domains is for my diffrent alias LowTekk.net, NutronWave.com, NoizeFunker.com and then another BIG project that i cant say something about yet, You will notice when it is online. The info/teaser i can give you are the fact it is a new netlabel ;-).
Also under the summer and fall 2006 i started to produce more minimal/techno instead of the industrial hard tehcno i had the focus on for a while.
Also not produce as much as before, instead of more or less vomit out net releases of bad qualitys i do work more and more on eatch tune instead and not one tune a day.

I will also under 2007 do more promoteing towards other DJs/Producers out there. Promoteing is something that is in my blood, its hard to get rid off, all the time i promote friends/djs/producer allround the globe. Want som help with this? contact me please and we discuss it!
Under the summer of 2007 i did also get crewmember status in the swedish arranger crew of www.octocore.se I will help them to arrange parties, promote our events and much more, looking forward to this under 2008.

But stay tuned boys and girls for the big secret site i workin on, it will not be as the former sites and projects i did organize before. This one is pure evil, conspiracy is a word you will notice alot ;-).
