At the forefront of UK techno since 1992, Surgeon has shaped the genre with his tough yet dynamic sound, blending industrial grit with funk, swing, and dub-space influences. His early releases on Downwards sparked excitement, leading to acclaimed albums on Tresor, Counterbalance, and Dynamic Tension.

Recognized by Fact Magazine as “arguably the finest techno DJ in the world,” his influence on the Berghain/Ostgut sound is undeniable. He’s remixed Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Mogwai, Faust, Coil, and techno heavyweights like Dave Clarke, Luke Slater, and Green Velvet.

Beyond the dancefloor, Surgeon explores experimental sounds with The Transcendence Orchestra and live improvisation projects alongside Lady Starlight, Speedy J, and Regis (as British Murder Boys). With a Tresor residency and performances spanning Europe, America, and Japan, his sets push techno’s boundaries—melding contemporary bass, electronica, and raw, hypnotic energy into an unrelenting sonic journey.
