Ital Tek is an electronic artist hailing from Brighton, UK. With a unique sound that blends elements of IDM, dubstep, and experimental music, Ital Tek has established himself as a prominent figure in the electronic music scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres and artists such as Boxcutter, Clubroot, and Scuba, his music creates an immersive sonic experience that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions.

Known for his intricate production techniques and atmospheric compositions, Ital Tek's music takes listeners on a journey through ethereal soundscapes and pulsating rhythms. His ability to seamlessly blend organic textures with futuristic beats sets him apart from other artists in the genre.

Having released numerous critically acclaimed albums and EPs on labels like Planet Mu and Ninja Tune, Ital Tek has garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide. His live performances are equally captivating, showcasing his skills as both a producer and performer. With support from fellow musicians such as Martyn, Om Unit, Kode9, and Pinch among others,

Planet Mu is an independent music label that was founded in 1995 by Mike Paradinas. Originally starting as an imprint on Virgin, the label was created to release music from artists like µ-Ziq and others who shared a similar style. However, due to Virgin's lack of success in marketing this type of music, Mike Paradinas decided to establish Planet Mu as an independent label in 1998. It is at this point that the catalog numbers for releases under the name *ZIQ* began.

Bodied is the follow up to his acclaimed 2016 album Hollowed. Stepping in a different direction from that album, It’s as if Hollowed's detailed world has been fleshed out and filled with the spectre of human voices. As on his last album, the sounds on Bodied are highly designed, but this time barely a whisper of dance music remains. Instead it's built around acoustic elements and ghostly choral arrangements, refracted and transformed into atmospheric, alien forms which are given the time to settle and transform. Rhythm is used only as a tool to give his world a sense of dark, mechanical momentum. On Bodied the music focuses on the interplay between the minuscule and the vast, beauty and brutalism. As Ital Tek moves further from his roots, he's creating new sounds and spaces in which his music can exist. It's up to the listener to decide what kind of world Bodied evokes, but it's certainly one that's beautiful and rewarding to spend time in.
