Even the most casual partygoer has doubtlessly at sometime in their life heard the music suddenly go dead and be replaced by a booming voice announcing the greatest talent on tables. This is the voice of DJ T-1000: Alan D. Oldham. Detroit-based Oldham is a man of many and varied talents. Oldham is more a composer than your normal producer, successfully combining all his life experience into musical testament; a rare capability in the world of loops and samples.

1992 gave Oldham what he credits was his "profoundly life-changing" break when he was invited by Mike Banks to be the Underground Resistance DJ during their world tour of 92-93. Jumpstart into infamy. The momentum of this and subsequent events moved him to launch his Generator techno label: the proud Detroit thoroughbred of heralded quality and consistency the recording appearances of which included such names Alan Oldham himself, Woody McBride, Dave Clarke, and Marco Passarani; all of whom have recorded in a variety of sonically-challenging genres all on one ambitious record label.

Maybe too ambitious though as Oldham made the calculated decision to shut down Generator permanently. In its place to keep him busy is the new Pure Sonik imprint. It serves as the exclusive spotlight for Oldham`s own productions under the DJ/recording pseudonym, DJ T-1000. Raw, stripped-down, minimal, DJ friendly and definitely Underground is the direction for the label.An interesting side to his well-known musical production strengths is his infamous graphic artwork. A staple of the Detroit Underground beginning with self-published (and now highly collectible) comic book "Johnny Gambit" (1987), the opularity of his talent soon discovered his work appearing on the Transmat and Astralwerks Record labels among others... and who could forget the over seven years of Djax Up Beats Record label drawings he has masterminded? Of most recent import and in addition to his Stateside appearances on Pure Sonik, Oldham struck close alliances with Tresor Records in 1997. DJ T-1000`s "Jetset Lovelife" EP was the first fruit of this all-new cooperation that appeared in January 1998. The follow-up debut album set for late summer 1999 on Tresor is DJ T-1000`s all-new and exclusive work entitled "Progress".

DJ T-1000 has always consistently turned out the most flexible documents to his personality. Whether DJ'ing worldwide or within 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. With admitted influences ranging from Massive Attack and Timbaland to Juan Atkins and Regis, Oldham`s output has taken down the borders, combined the concepts and blended the elements into autobiographical narrative.
