The guy with the biggest smile, TekNoNo is an up-and-coming artist in the House and Techno circle rooted in Detroit, Michigan. The birthplace of techno. With NoNo’s most recent endeavor as one of the A&R’s to Techno Music Curator, Kevin Saunderson’s record label - KMS Records, he strives to remain outside of “the box” known for his deep house release “Do You Love Me?” released on Italian Label Shaman Records.
With his most recent release being led by one of his greatest musical mentors and friends, Osunlade, Thyme EP releasing on Yoruba Records did nothing short of display his willingness to step outside of his comfort zone with true raw expression of emotion. It was his mission to display the roots of his musical inspiration with the variety of organic elements. Thyme exhibits a more aggressive side, with inspiration coming from his early love of rock and roll music built with his father at a young age enjoying bands like The Who, Genesis, and Green Day. The B-Side however, Thinking Bout U ft. Lusid shows a more gentle and emotional side driven through his love of artist like David Bowie, Phil Collins & Prince. A sort of Yin & Yang so to speak. This Thyme EP stands for his assertion to always be authentic and raw throughout the path that music takes him.
As thyme keeps ticking away, let the music play forever. Its a good day to have a good day <3
