Sean Deason is part of the “third wave” of Techno producers from Detroit. His career in electronic music has taken him to many parts of the world where his skills as a techno DJ are in very high demand. He has DJ’ed in dance clubs in Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, England and throughout much of North America. At home he has DJ’ed in every major club in the Detroit Metro area.

His music career began when he met the early Plus 8 Recording artists: Richie Hawtin, Kenny Larkin and Dan Bell. These world class techno artists introduced him to the recording studio and helped to develop, inspire and influence his musical experimentation. He later went on to produce records for Kelly Hand’s Acacia Records and Alan Oldham’s Generator Records before establishing Matrix Records, in 1993.

Toronto Canada’s Arthur Oskan is known for his powerfully resonating dance floor releases. While much of his music is known for its intricate, driving, melodic, and moody undertones, his more recent stripped-down tracks created under his Myers Briggs alias expose a more minimal side of his musical repertoire.


Representing his stylistic range, Oskan’s productions have been released on a variety of labels including Beretta Music, Restructured, Secret Weapon, Cratesavers, and Matrix Records. In 2006, under his then newer nom de plum, Myers Briggs, Oskan performed a memorable live set at a MUTEK showcase. This impressive exposure connected Oskan to more record labels – Beretta Grey, Noah Pred’s Sentient Sound, and Thoughtless Music – which subsequently released several of this singles and a widely celebrated EP, INFP.

Not surprisingly, several of the world's top dj's and producers – Funk D'Void, Los Hermanos, Chymera, James Holden, Nic Fanciulli, Hernan Cattaneo and Fabric Lig have given top praise for is past and current releases.

As one of Toronto’s leading live acts, Oskan has performed alongside a slue of international artists including Aril Brikha, Alex Under and Samuel L. Sessions.


Arthur continues to produce music for several international labels, and will be remixing and performing live at events in North America and across Europe.

In 1989 Shawn Rudiman started production work with Ed Vargo on THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). This ebm/elektro unit became quite popular in the ebm/industrial scene of the early to mid 90's, releasing 4 full-length albums, countless remixes and compilation releases on European and domestic labels. Along with this, a fascination with old music machines developed that led him to techno.

In 1997 he decided to retire the long worn out industrial-ebm ideals. This led to a move towards pure rhythm and sounds, and a relocation to Pittsburgh, PA the transition period was difficult due to a scaling back of sound layers and refinement of rhythms, but results proved positive. At the same studio production began with techno, so did live sets. Sets of non-stop, all live improvised techno, as fluid and smooth as any dj set, but entirely flexible in direction and tempo.

He then started Hyperviny Records with Trevor Combee. This led to meeting Anthony Shakir and that to releaseing tracks for Dan Bell and 7th City etc. He and friend Jwan Allen have since started a new label, Technoir Audio. Today he resides somewhere in the ghettos of Pittsburgh and plays live on a regular basis in the mid-west area. "one of the best live p.a.'s i've ever seen." - Anthony "shake" Shakir

Shawn plays LIVE TECHNO PAs! For Anthony "Shake" Shakir to state he's one of the "best live PAs" he's ever seen is a HUGE compliment as "Shake" is a beast behind the gear!!!! :respent:

Really looking forward to hearing Shawn rock out live this Friday with the rest of the Matrix crew @ Bar 13.

This is regional, underground techno at its best. If you are into techno, you really don't want to miss this night!!!
