Detroit-born, Chicago-and-Berlin-based Alan D. Oldham has been called
"Detroit Techno's Renaissance Man" (Muzik, UK). A lifelong cartoonist and
graphic designer, a young Oldham published his own comic book "Johnny
Gambit" in 1987 to local notoriety. Hired that same year by Derrick May to
illustrate several memorable pieces for the new Transmat label, led to
Oldham's first involvement in the fledgling techno scene. Under his alias DJ
T-1000, he has rocked crowds in Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Barcelona, Tel Aviv,
Tokyo and all points in between with his own brand of funky-ass techno. When
he's not behind the decks or producing music for labels like Tresor Berlin,
Pure Sonik and xfive, he's an illustrator who has shown in galleries in
Chicago, Paris and Los Angeles. Showcasing his own productions, this
fearless operator truly encompasses all that is "Electronica", combining
film music with New Wave melodies, monotone club anthems with
Grunge-inflected guitar feedback. Oldham`s output has taken down the
borders, combined the concepts and blended the elements into
autobiographical narrative. A true legend.
