About

Tarmo Vannas (TechTribe, Proton Music) [Estonia]

Tarmo Vannas, born in January 1982, started out in the local underground dance music scene in Tallinn, Estonia over 12 years ago. His love for electronic music started mainly with now legendary house and techno sounds from the beginning of the 90s. Over the years he has been producing and playing mainly house and techno, as well as drum&bass and jungle during the golden years of that era. At the present he's devoting half of his time to professional DJ/production work, while also working as an Art Director at an interactive design boutique.

He hosts a weekly 2-hour radio show TechTribe Essentials featuring exclusive guest mixes from around the globe. The show has been running on various stations already since 2003 and currently found home on Proton Radio, also broadcasted on various other web/FM stations worldwide and available as a podcast on the TechTribe Music website. Hundreds of listeners around the world tune in to his shows every week to check out the latest underground electronic dance music sounds from around the globe.

The main criterion for the music he's playing is that it's good quality music - playing what he feels is the most upfront and developing style of the moment as well as classic sounds that are timeless. At the present his musical direction has evolved into a mixture of sounds varied from deep and techy to dark and hypnotic - from deep house to dub techno and from tech house to driving peak-time techno sounds, while still keeping things mostly melodic and atmospheric.

He has many original productions and remix work constantly in the making. His latest release "Topaz" on Proton Music, released in two parts with remixes from Satoshi Fumi, Spin Science, Electricano, Derek Howell, Benz&MD and Federico Epis along with Tarmo's own TechTribe Remix, gained support from Jody Wisternoff, Eelke Kleijn and many more. Back in 2005 his remix of Digital Witchcraft's "Fingerpaint" for Proton Music remix competition gained great support from the likes of Perry O'Neil, Above & Beyond, Greg Benz and many more.

Continuing with his TechTribe Essentials radio show, playing at various clubs and events, and working on the production and remixes, he's continuously building his DJ/producer career into international territories. Remember to watch out for this name...
