Telemetrik is the solo alias of Marcio Alvarado, a producer who first gained prominence as one half of the influential US drum and bass duo Corrupt Souls. Operating during the peak of the neurofunk and darkstep movements in the mid-2000s, Telemetrik became a defining voice for the 'tech-step' evolution, releasing on cornerstone labels like Black Sun Empire and Renegade Hardware.
His sound is characterized by extreme technical proficiency, often utilizing complex modulation and surgical compression to create a 'wall of sound' that remains remarkably clear. Following his work as Telemetrik, Alvarado transitioned into the EDM and dubstep world under the name Alvin Risk, signing to Skrillex's OWSLA label. However, his work as Telemetrik remains a high-water mark for technical drum and bass, cited by purists for its uncompromising darkness and intricate rhythmic structures. His 2008 magnum opus, 'My Lightyear', is frequently categorized alongside the works of Noisia and Black Sun Empire as a foundational text of modern neurofunk.
