dj/producer from merseyside uk, john heckle has produced records for mathematics recordings, tabernacle records, crème organization, lunar disko and more. his releases include two full length studio albums, the second son and desolate figures (as well as the last magic maker mini-album), plus multiple singles, remixes and eps. life on titan, his debut for mathematics, picked up a qwartz electronic music award.

john heckle last released an album on tabernacle three years ago, but he s been far from quiet since then with his head front panel project diverting his attention towards blistering hard techno. tone to voice then represents a return to more melodic pastures with a more diverse selection of tempos and moods to choose from, but still heckle s innate gift for expressive, dynamic machine music shines through. -sonic spectrometer- is a joyous slice of techno-jazz, while -potential life- whips up stunning cascading synth lines and pattering hats. at times, there s no need for a kick, and with ample ambient excursions woven into the mix this stands as one of heckle s most accomplished releases yet.
