Canadian techno producers DJ Shine, Amir Ebrahimnia and Simon Rojas are the latest names in the world renowned Canadian techno movement.

Formed in 2005, Technofunk Collective have taken techno and electronic dance music to new grounds. With their unique blend of nu funk basslines and intelligent techno beats, deliciously served with beautiful chord stabs, Technofunk Collective gained their reputation and earned their respect within the electronic music community.

Constantly influenced by the ever expanding possibilities of musical performance with various technologies, the collective has built its own interfaces to better expand their creative freedom.

Technofunks most recent performance at the Fritz Helder and the Phantoms CD release party unveiled their prototype "reactifunk" table. Through some reverse engineering and loads of tinkering the collective has adapted the basic software of the funkiest musical instrument in the world, the Reactable!

Inspired by bjorks recent live show which showcased the instrument originally developed by a team of digital luthiers under the direction of Dr. Sergi Jordà, technofunks 'reactifunk' explores alternate usages of the concept.
