We are beyond excited to welcome Teste performing their first new material in 25 years at Kaos presents Teste + Reka on Saturday 26 May
Formed during the early nineties in Hamilton, Ontario, they put out only three official records between 1992-1993 on Probe Records, most notably “The Wipe,” which is regarded as a genre defining classic, while the follow-up “Regions” also served as a template for the ensuing sonics of contemporary techno. With only a handful of live actions, the final chaotic show (public disturbance) occurred for Pure in Glasgow 1994. Afterwards, the original Teste lineup of juvenile delinquents disbanded but unwittingly ended up defining the hypnotic and drugged out strains of today’s afterhours techno parties. The project vanished for decades until reactivating the chaos in 2014, promoting a slew of remixes “The Rewipes,” by artists such as Rrose and Terence Fixmer, on the Edit Select imprint.
Since then, original member David Foster, still at large as /ϟ/HUREN/ϟ/, has been slugging it out in the fringes with influential output on the seminal Zhark Recordings Berlin and has collaborated as O/H with Rich Oddie of Orphx. First meeting on Mayday 2017 in Berlin, a new alliance with Martin Claudius Maischein aka Goner formed. Goner is likewise a veteran with essential output under various monikers on imprints such as Force Inc., Editions Mego, and Hospital Productions. From that pairing, The Box Man came into being for the second release on BITE, the Berlin techno label run by Hayden Payne and Florian Engerling.
June 2018, Teste returns with The Box Man, a five-track EP that marks their first release of original material in 25 years. The Box Man picks up where Teste last left us with their revolutionary vision of techno and continues to further their inter-dimensional manifestation of insanity and formation. Pure techno serving as a method of psychic expulsion and self reckoning.

With a thirst for adventurous selections oscillating between dystopian aesthetics and moments of sheer beauty, REKA has cultivated her very own personal approach to heady machine music. Featuring everything from contemporary techno to the genre's prototypical past of electro, her sets manoeuvre seamlessly through dance music's many permutations with the same manual control and balance that goes into riding her motorcycle through the streets of Berlin.
Merely one year into her DJ career, REKA was discovered by DJ Hell and joined International Deejay Gigolos as part of the female duo leChic. A Few years later, REKA was selected to participate in Toronto ́s edition of Red Bull Music Academy and eventually felt the desire to start her solo path into considerably darker and more experimental realms. After relocating to Berlin, she soon became a resident at TRESOR.
REKA also enjoys her role as a curator, organising her own night W.A.V.E.S at OHM and hosting TRESOR ́s New Faces nights.
