Bluetech
Encyclopedia
Bluetech is a psybient
DJ/producer who creates a varied selection of downtempo
music. Bluetech's music is very diverse, even for a psybient artist. He places significant emphasis on melody in his productions, and his works often demonstrate an influence from dub
and ambient techno.
Although Bluetech's music includes some "organic" samples, it is created mostly using digital synthesizers and production software, giving a very "digital
" quality to it, much like the glitch inspired sounds of Shulman, who has also released albums through Aleph Zero Records.
After the release of "Sines & Singularities" in 2005, Bluetech has also been releasing albums under the names Evan Marc and Evan Bartholomew.
In 2004 Bluetech launched his own label, Native State Records.
