Chuck Gibson Biography

"Hitechfunk is a catycalimsic vision for a new urban order. Generated by tone, Hitechfunk is visual voltage." Hitechfunk is designed by Chuck Gibson, a master of the sonic and graphic arts. Hitechfunk is a brand of music, a design concept and a fashion remark. Gibson is a medley of his surroundings. As an electronic music producer, Gibson honed in on the highly specialized skills deemed proper for the future. His art is a reflection of his knowledge – an attempt to incorporate the rudimentary elements of funk with the onset of far – off technologies. Producing and designing for Underground Resistance, Gibson’s message has reached over twenty countries and is branded in various publications. From retail to vinyl to poster art, Gibson’s perception of funk has pervaded the urban zone. Trained by UR special forces, Gibson’s skills were more than a mirage, but an evolving hybrid of the funk to come. His artistic experience was defined by his years at the Center for Creative Studies and Wayne State University. Both campuses provided the means for an artistic exploration. Gibson’s reality outside the classroom, allowed him to take his education to a different place as a message and means for the next generation. Gibson’s work spread to other prominent Detroit electronic music labels such as Metroplex, KMS, 430 West and Direct Beat. His credits include URB Magazine, Raveline Magazine (Germany) and the Disc Style Book.

Various – Tokem – A Story In Sound [Hitechfunk]

[ UGCD-HTF01 ]

Interstellar Fugitives have more deepness; Mike Banks, Gerald Mitchell, DJ 3000, A Guy Called Gerald, and Fabrice Lig teamed up for this brilliant versatile techno outing. "Midnight Speaks", "Blue Grass" and "Uncontrollable" are up there with the best they’ve ever done but it seems a shame to pick tracks out when the whole album (and it really feels like an album) is so very very good.

Tracklisting:

  • 01. Perception feat. Diametric – Page 1
  • 02. Gerald Mitchell & Fabrice Lig – Uncontrollable
  • 03. Perception feat. Sterling – Fight Slow
  • 04. DJ 3000 – Fight Slow (remix)
  • 05. Perception – Collagen Ear
  • 06. A Guy Called Gerald – Our Fall: Tokem
  • 07. Perception feat. Ann Sanderson – Deeper
  • 08. Perception – Life’s Little Drum Beat
  • 09. Perception feat. Lizzy – Midnight Speaks
  • 10. Fabrice Lig – Eenter Tokem
  • 11. Perception – I Am Navi
  • 12. Perception – Blue Grass
  • 13. Mike Banks – Hold My Own
  • 14. Perception feat. Diametric – Year Zero
