Acutek

Acutek is a Techno Artist from the rural highlands of Scotland. An ambassador for Scottish nightlife, the FLICK frontman is an increasingly-popular name on the local and national scene. With over a decade of musical experience, Acutek’s sound blends ethereal Techno with roughened elements. Inspired by Slam, Petrichor, Frai.zer, Pan-Pot and more, atmospheric spaces and storytelling breaks are met frequently by hardened drum work and blistering percussive sequences. Acutek’s production resume boasts a growing list of commendable plaudits, including EPs on FLICK, Biotech Recordings, Gibbon Records, Unknown Territory, Space City Recordings and several chart-topping releases, plus heavyweight artist support globally. The debut release on his FLICK imprint shot straight to #1 on Beatport’s Raw/Deep/Hypnotic Techno releases chart whilst peaking at #13 on the overall chart. Each track from the release broke into the top 40 of Beatport’s individual track charts, with the title track ‘Onyx’ breaking into the top 10. The release also received support from BBC Introducing Scotland, Ben Sims, Luke Slater, Charlotte De Witte, ANNA and had a play on Boiler Room from Melania. With an ever-growing pipeline of releases and gigs, coupled with his FLICK label and events continuously growing in stature, Acutek is undoubtedly one of the most promising names in Scottish Techno and the wider community and remains an artist to keep a firmly fixed eye on.
