25 Years in Dance Music… Here’s What Changed | Technikal Interview

In this episode of Future Frequencies, Christian Neo sits down with Alfie Bamford, better known as Technikal / Technikore, for a deep dive into his journey through hard trance, hardcore, music production, DJ culture, and the changing realities of the electronic music scene.

Alfie reflects on his early days discovering music production, getting signed young, and building a career before most people even knew what they wanted to do with their lives. The conversation moves through the history of Tranzlation, the origins of Technikore, his relationship with artists like Hixxy, Guyver, and Steve Hill, and how his sound evolved across different eras of dance music.

They also explore Alfie’s new trance label Kolours, why he has fallen back in love with simpler, more distinctive trance production, and what he thinks about modern trends like short-form tracks, TikTok-driven music, and attention-span culture in dance music.
