Elevator Program graduate Jack Skeleton’s connection to techno was forged the moment he first felt the emotional weight of Strings of Life as a teenager—an experience that drew him deep into Scotland’s techno underground. Nights at Taste in Dundee, My Machines in Glasgow, and Storm in Kirkcaldy became formative: sweat, strobes, and boundary-pushing selectors shaping a lifelong devotion. It was there he discovered artists like Basic Channel, Underground Resistance, Luke Slater, and the wonky drum-machine alchemist Cristian Vogel, while the raw impact of Dave Clarke, Claude Young, Blake Baxter, Neil Landstrumm, and many more cemented his path.
Guided by a hardware-driven approach, Jack began producing on Electribes and early Grooveboxes, shaping a sound rooted in stripped-back groove, tension, and immersive rhythmic focus designed for the dancefloor. After time away from the studio, he returns with renewed purpose—channelling emotion into music created for dark rooms, engaged minds, and bodies in motion.
His debut EP “In Rain” on the Elevator Program label introduces two distinct directions: “Tears in Rain,” a deep hypnotic journey—dark yet hopeful—and “Raiders” a more aggressive dance-floor weapon driving momentum forward. An impactful opening that marks the beginning of a new chapter.
