Biografía
- Ali Khan's style combines the essence of Zen and precision of electronics to create atmospheric, stripped down techno music.Ali Khan is proud to be a veteran electronic music producer, writing techno music from the unlikely geography of the Canadian Prairies. His discography includes appearances on Cocoon and Fabric London compilations, featured by by techno superstars Sven Vath, Matthew Dear and many more. His passion for electronic music dates back 25 years, when as a youth, he attended adult education course in sound synthesis methods and theory. He loved the material, and learned the theory behind additive, subtractive and FM synthesis and got to play hands-on with Fairlight and Yamaha synthesizers. The course focused on the acoustic physics behind the sound. He was immediately hooked by the concepts and the richness of sound that could be produced. In the following years, Ali collected equipment and started writing music, based on a musical foundation he’d previously established through percussion and piano instruction. Throughout the years, Ali Khan played in a variety of bands as a keyboard player and as solo electronic music act Subculture. These experiences really rounded out his feel for grooves and improvisation. Khan credits this fact to why he’s never been shy about playing live, as far back as 1997, with mountains of gear, long before laptop performances had emerged. Ali continues to write music, most recently with Canada’s Dewtone Recordings, and upcoming with Germany’s Klartraum label. He recently performed at the MEME festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba and has released tracks with music partner Joe Silva as music-duo Tonepushers. Khan’s more recent production style combines the essence of Zen and precision of electronics to create atmospheric, stripped down techno music.̸Ali Khan Releases: The Chakra EP - Ali Khan - Clever Music (2004) To A Better Place - Soft THen Hard LP Compilation - Clever Music (2005) Waterbomb - The Extended Family EP - Leftroom (2005) Ambrosia EP - Ali Khan - Budenzauber Recordings (2005) Push Back EP - Ali Khan - Kahlwild (2005) Slide (Ali Khan Remix) - DJ Freestyle + Joe Silva - Guesthouse Music (2005) Fudgebuster Beats - Sven Vath Mix, The Sound Of The Sixth Season - Cocoon Recordings (2005) Waterbomb - Audion, Fabric 27 - Fabric London (2006) Happy Thursday EP - Kahlwild (2007) Peakle Matter (Ali Khan Remix) - Suz + Layborn - Def'child Productions (2007) Plump - Annihilating Rhythms Vol. 4 - Gatspiel Recordings (2008) AK.001 - Kokoro (2011) AK.002 - Kokoro (2011) AK.003 - Kokoro (2011) Do Trees Have Dreams - Dewtone (2012) Chat Lag remix - Nadja Lind Brain Candy Remixes (2012) Ali Khan also produces in collaboration with Joe Silva as Tonepushers, with releases on Slush, Fade, Fifth Sun, and Thoughtless Music.
