bio

I was born in London Ontario, Canada in 1979. I moved to Windsor Ontario, Canada in 1984, where shortly after I immersed myself in music.
Learning multiple instruments, spanning a plethora of genres, I moved through piano, drums, to brass and woodwinds, strings, and finally, with the purchase of my first laptop and gear in 1998, I delved into the depths of Electronic Music and Sound Production.
My style was a mixture of Detroit techno, with with some European influence. I first started producing techno in 1998. Having not pressed or backed up any of my tracks, I suffered a massive hard drive failure in the summer of 2001, losing all of my work and samples. From 2001 to 2004 there was an obvious break in production, and in 2005 I started working on the album "brb, techno...". That was released in the 4th quarter of 2005 (and now is on the album "Boeko: 2005-2006"). In 2006 I was amazed to see my self title album "Boeko" take shape, and was released that year (also on the "Boeko: 2005-2006" album).

I have since moved to the Pacific Northwest, setting down near Portland OR, USA. I released the album "Polar" in the first quarter of 2007, just after my move. This album was a mixture of Detroit Techno beats, with a more deep house feel to it. Later on that year, I plucked my album "Supplemental" out of the collective consciousness. This album shifted to a more Deep House feel, but still with the signature Boeko Detroit Techno undertones. This album was released in the 4th quarter of 2007.

I've shifted my style to a more minimalist / ambient sound and am now currently working on my latest album "Beta". The release date has not yet been set, but you can preview some of the tracks under the "Discography" section at Subtle Records Website.

Every EP has been a different style thus far, spanning ambient/experimental IDM, acid-techno, Detroit-techno, to deep/tech-house, and will probably continue to span the genres as time goes on. The result is the same: A fat beat, intelligent, emotional collection of tracks.
