Joel Tambour a.k.a. SUBURBASS, singer and Punk follower in the late
70s discovers electronic music with bands such as
Kraftwerk, Visage, Klaus Schulse, Tangerine Dream, J.M. Jarre, Herbie Hancock or Grand Master Flash.
& first contact with a machine : KorgMS20.
Mid 80s, the craze for the electro music such as new wave and
Goth (Alien Sex Fiend, Clan of Xymox, Cure, Joy Division,
Virgin Prunes,Front242,Fad Gadget,Kas Product,DAF,New Order.)
confirms his interest for the electronic experiment alongside Metal & Alternative rock tendencies.
Then comes the techno-pop turning point but his very first appreciation of AcidHouse music will be particularly selective, as only a few artists such as M.A.R.R.S,Altern8,4Hero,Cybotron,Technotronic,Snap,
Prodigy will definitely impress him.
With the 90s comes the teknod massive wave and his predilection are Dave Clarke,Johannes Heil,Colin Dale,D.A.V.E The Drummer,
Neil Landstrumm,Liza'n Eliaz,Mental Theo,Adam Beyer,Sven Vath,
Joey Beltram,Christian Vogel,Kriss de Montpellier,Autechre,Orbital,LFO.
At the time, still singing in a ska band, Jol encounters the very
firsts rave-parties,in particular those of Spiral Tribe.
The "freetekno sound" will resolutely be adopted and developed, & Curley,Simon/Crystal Distortion & Seb/69DB from Network23
became his first deep influences .
1996, first live set battle with Alex K/Tekmics.
May 1997: first Teknival live set on « Sound Conspiracy » sound system featuring Simon/Crystal Distortion + Marc/4Q/Total Resistance
+ Kathy (Facom Unit) + Mc Unwuttu . UFO/Heretik.
& until this time,used to play every weekends in all events he can.
Now totally addicted to the repetitive beats,travels through Europe
(Germany,Scotland,Spain,Italy,England,Holland,Czech Republic,
Poland,Austria,Belgium,France,Swizerland,Canada,Bulgaria.)
