Having started making music together back in 2008 as Technicolour & Komatic, releasing their first record ‘Preacher’ on Technique’s sister imprint Worldwide Audio, little could be known of what the future had in store. Since then the duo have gone on to release their liquid-infused blend of hyper-coloured D&B on labels such as Critical, Hospital, SGN:LTD and even the seminal Good Looking with Technicolour’s own official remix of LTJ Bukem’s ‘Music’.
Never resting on their laurels, Shogun Audio were quick to recognize the potential of Technimatic and signed them exclusively in 2012 to their sister imprint SGN:LTD. They went on to drop one of the most successful releases on the label, the formidable ‘Intersection’ EP, supported by the Mistajam and Friction amongst others on BBC Radio 1. Their contribution to Shogun’s award winning ‘Way Of The Warrior’ album series Pt.2 marked their graduation to the front line with the likes of Gilles Peterson supporting their ‘Bristol’ track on BBC 6Music.
Today in 2014 Technimatic stand tall as fully fledged members of Shogun Audio’s ever evolving entourage of some of the best electronic music artists in the world, touring the world with an ever-increasing DJ schedule. As we prepare ourselves for their debut solo album of the summer, Desire Paths, the first single ‘Night Vision’ is currently cementing the broad Technimatic appeal with the likes of Rob Da Bank and Eddy Temple-Morris supporting the cause on Radio 1 and XFM, and with heavy endorsement from the drum & bass underground, the Technimatic story looks to be only just beginning.

Technimatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hole at his name
Oh no
In this waterfall
And hole at his name
Oh no
In this waterfall
And hole
Hole
Waterfall
And hole at his name
Oh no
This waterfall
And hole at his name
Oh no
Has the mapple zombies dropping this
The grim on your faces planned
You have wanted this
Wanted this
Wanted this
Wanted this
Wanted this
Wanted this
This waterfall
And hole at his name
This waterfall
And hole at his name
The lyrics of Technimatic's song "Clockwise" convey a sense of mystery and intrigue, with the repeated phrases "in this waterfall" and "and hole at his name" implying a hidden or unknown meaning. The use of the word "waterfall" conjures up images of a powerful and overwhelming force, while the word "hole" suggests something empty or missing. Together, these words create a sense of both danger and emptiness, as if the singer is being drawn towards something they cannot understand or control.
The final lines of the song add another layer of meaning, with the references to "mapple zombies" and "grim on your faces" suggesting a dystopian or post-apocalyptic world. The repeated phrase "wanted this" implies that the characters in the song have either created or accepted this world, but may not fully understand the consequences of their actions. Overall, the lyrics of "Clockwise" suggest a complex and nuanced story, with multiple layers of meaning that invite interpretation and analysis.
