About Tatem
A Detroit native currently living in San Diego, it all started in 1997 with a Boss DR660 that was purchased to replace a drummer who never showed up for practice and Tatem immediately found himself hooked on music technology. Around 2001-2003 he joined the Detroit techno group SCAN 7 as a remixer and live performance member. The ethos of the Detroit music scene was a powerful influence on Tatem. His first release was a collaborative track with Scan 7. His production skills catapulted by mentoring with “old school” and master beat makers from Detroit, including being a tech assistant to hometown techno hero, Kevin Saunderson. This opened doors for regular late night after-hours gigs and other larger events in town. In 2004, Tatem moved into the well known Russell Industrial center and opened Binary Detroit, a production and recording studio, and started an after-hours event called Saturday Sunday’s. Tatem’s skills sharpen more, and he won a remix competition that allowed him an opportunity to spend time with industrial guru, Trent Reznor. From 2006-2013, Tatem joined a successful band in Arizona as front man and lead guitarist/songwriter. But, in 2014, Tatem was back at it again producing techno and found himself in San Diego. His Detroit connections found him and soon was releasing tracks with Sub÷Divizion and immediately felt at “home”. Tatem is a dexterous and proficient DJ with his deep and moody cuts, and is not one to be missed.
