Tomas Jirku has quickly established himself on the international minimal techno scene. From his humble beginnings of independently released CD-R's and MP3s on the Notype website, Jirku's unrelenting, unpredictable explorations of minimal techno have since been released on such prestigious labels as Force Inc., Klang Elektronik, Alien8, and Traum, to name only a few. Now a 12" on Audio.NL presents his most recent slabs on mininal techno. As a true devotee of the label, Tomas Jirku sure adds his own blend to the style.

A crowd pleaser with every live performance, Jirku is sure to treat the audience with his latest developments on the leading edge of the minimal techno movement, mixed with his own brand of techno nostalgia. Despite the visual limits of entertaining an audience with a laptop, Jirku manages to hold the crowd's attention with his upbeat mixes. He's even been known to throw in his own one-off remixes of dance music classics most of us are embarrassed to recognize. By the end of his live sets, the audience has been treated to mix of intricate experimentation and booty shaking funk, and is grinning ear to ear.
