INERGY RECORDS ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
SUNDAY AUGUST 21st, 2022
JarboTek
On August 30th, Inergy Records will release its next imprint, 'Brimstone EP’, as a two week promotion on Beatport. We are super excited to pass the techno baton on to an up and coming, talented producer, Kevin Jarboe, aka JarboTek.
Kevin was born and raised in Washington D.C. and was inspired by all things music at an early age. He expressed interest in the saxophone and eventually found his path with other instruments. It wasn’t until his later years that he began to explore different types of musical genres. The dark, crunchy, raw sound of post-punk inspired him to continue his interest in other instruments like guitar and bass. With the confidence in such a no-holds-barred genre of music he assumed vocal duties performing in several hardcore groups.
Over the years EDM became king and it was only natural that JarboTek find his second home in the dark, synth heavy rumbliness of techno music. DJing was another outlet that gave him the chance to play the songs he loved. The hard driving edge that metal music provided for him for years eventually became the springboard for JarboTek’s production style. This gave him the ability to release tracks officially on national and worldwide mp3 platforms.
In 2019 JarboTek’s production efforts saw the light of day with his release, ‘Twisting Waveforms’ on Funktrap records. With remix assistance by future Inergy artist, Paul Atreides and Baltimore, MD based Micfreak, ‘Twisting Waveforms’ (https://www.beatport.com/release/twisting-waveforms/2475188) put JarboTek on the map leaving his mark as a worthy techno producer. The Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. techno community was supportive of his efforts and word began to spread about his abilities to create intense original music from the ground up. It wasn’t long before Inergy Records caught wind of this and was sent links to his prolific body of unreleased work. We got in touch with JarboTek and offered an opportunity to contribute a remix to Paul Atreides’ phenomenal 2021 Inergy release, ‘Phantoms EP’ (https://www.beatport.com/release/phantoms-ep/3439451). We were very impressed with his efforts and asked him this year to submit an original track for consideration for our label.
We are proud to release Jarbo Tek’s newest track, “Brimstone EP” complete with a hard driving, peak-hour style groove, so get ready for a wild ride! Rounding out this three track release is Washington D.C. based techno producer group, TonalTheory and Inergy founder Plateau contributing a more hard-trance style remix.
