Mode_1

**Mode_1** is a UK-based techno artist and label head known for his stripped-back, hardware-driven sound that pays homage to raw, warehouse-ready grooves. Active since the early 2000s, he’s carved out a niche with his no-frills approach, blending hypnotic loops, gritty basslines, and punchy percussion. His M1M imprint (home to releases like *M1M_001* through *004*) serves as a platform for his own functional club tools and collaborations, while tracks like *Reactor* and *Pusher EP* showcase his knack for high-energy, dancefloor-focused techno.

A regular in clubs like Tresor Berlin and festivals worldwide, Mode_1 stays rooted in underground ethos, often nodding to ‘90s UK rave culture (as seen in the *4x4 Series*). Whether dropping unpolished DJ tools or teaming up with peers like Paul Nazca (who remixed *Saturn*), his work stays fiercely loyal to techno’s DIY spirit.
