How would you describe Techniche SD to someone who’s not familiar with you yet?
Well, Techniche is a Techno + House Music organization & lifestyle brand based in San Diego, California. We produce events, a weekly syndicated radio/mix show, apparel, and just recently launched our own record label.
What sets Techniche SD apart from others?
Our consistent output, recognizable branding, and our diverse sound.
What is behind the success of Techniche SD – dedicated work or element of luck as well?
Can’t say we have had much luck! So, it’s definitely all about our hard work and determination; although we wouldn’t mind having a bit of luck as well. We’ve said that nothing really worth it is easy so we take a little pride in our hard work. And we love the challenges that have come our way, especially when we have overcome them or achieved a certain goal.
It is no secret that branding is an important element to success. How have you been able to brand Techniche SD?
Techniche was sort of a passion project and a bit of an experiment to begin with. I personally am a branding specialist and graphic designer, but I’ve been a DJ and producer for many years so it only felt right to put all of my skills and passions together under the Techniche guise. We initially started using an astronaut image because it seemed so autonomous and bold. It became an icon and a metaphor in a way. We see the astronaut as daring, exploring the possibilities, and the unknown universe, all by TECHNOlogical means.
We can proudly say that you are one of our clients that uses Uniqcube as a DJ light cube. Since owning your own Uniqcube, how has it helped with branding and standing out from others?
It definitely helped us stand out by adding to our existing visual assets like banners. But when we applied our infamous “T-Minus” version of our logo onto the Uniqcube, that was a “game changer”. It fit perfectly with the material and yeah, it looks really cool at night during our events. The Uniqcube is definitely one the best mediums we used with that logo.
Would you recommend Uniqcube as a DJ light cube to other DJs? Why?
Absolutely. Because, it’s a quality product that will compliment any DJ or event’s branding and presence.
What has been the most fulfilling moment regarding Techniche SD?
To be honest, all of it. We never take anything for granted and we have been really fortunate and grateful for the results of our hard work. Recently though, it’s been the launch of our label. It was overdue, but rightfully so because we wanted to do it the right way considering the significance it has toward working in Techno club culture. We’re confident as DJs, but as producers and as a label, we have yet to make our mark, but as I said, we love the challenge and so we’re excited to see what happens .
Do you have any tips for anyone who wants to make a name for themselves as a DJ?
Stay consistent and focused. Invest in yourself and your brand. Be confident but not cocky. Eager, but not pushy. Early on be flexible, but always be professional. Don’t chase em, replace em.
