Artists 24 March 2007 "Replicant" Music: Tom Kuo, aka task. "... a techno DJ who can work both the feet and the mind" - Now Magazine As an electronic musician and a producer based out of Toronto, Tom Kuo, aka task, uses a grounding in minimal techno to pursue a varied range of precise electronic strains. While ensuring the attention of the dancefloor with compelling rhythms, he places special focus on pushing the boundaries of abstract experimentation with futuristic, soulful and moody sounds. Deeply influenced by the direction of NYC underground artists since 95, Tom is continuously and consistently developing and evolving his methods of accentuating, and sometimes exaggerating, the moment shared between himself, his technological tools, and his listeners. In performance, Tom is always seeking the revolutionary moment when intelligent music meets the flow of body and mind. His unique blend of abstract territories and bold attitude, have lead him to headline and guest along side world class acts across the continent and abroad.
