BIOGRAPHY
Behind the limelight of tech-funks new rising star 'Rektchordz' is 24 year old Cornish dweller Jamie Smithson; who has been mastering the art of music production since back in 2001. Hearing the fresh sounds of the early tech-funk movement was enough for Jamie to set his sights and begin to create & shape a sound. First finding light in his work was the well acclaimed Newquay based House & breaks label 'Play Recordings'; label head Si Gordon recognized the skillful and enthusiastic qualities that Jamie brought to the table and quickly snapped up Rektchordz' single 'Breaking logic'.
Subsequently, following this were a long line of tech-esque, genre-bending breakbeat releases, with labels such as: Unstable, Bomtraxx, Sinister, Mofo, Control Breaks, Breakin Even, Brighton Breaks; all helping see Rektchordz move throughout the scene, dropping savage tracks such as 'Turn these speakers up' which rocked dance floors worldwide and earned a long stay at the number 2 spot in the Beatport breaks charts. Along with his original work, Rektchordz has turned heads with inspirational remixes such as 'Refunk-mr mole' (Re-connect) gaining support from the likes of Elite force, General Midi & Butterparty Other highlights include a 'Beta' remix of Rektchordz' 'left behind' (bomtraxx)' which received air play via Annie Nightingale on Radio One & the legend Matt Darey.
