Biography

Nanotek has been involved with music since his teenage years when he played guitar and drums in metal bands. In the mid 90s he discovered industrial and electronic music. Moving to Wellington, New Zealand in 2003, Christiansen was introduced to the sounds of Dom & Roland, Photek, and Dylan, which became key influences in his darkstep and hard sound.

During this period, saw him presenting a regular prime time show on electronic music station Firm FM.[3] An invitation from Wellington's Noise Enthusiast crew to headline their night 'Descend' was the first step that took Christiansen on to supporting DJs such as Tech Itch and Limewax.[4]

His break came in late 2006 when Dylan, owner of Freak Recordings, signed two of his tracks, Acid Burn and Deadly Force, to his sister label Obscene Recordings.[5]
This was a turning point for Christiansen, who gained international recognition from DJs such as Current Value, SPL, Limewax, B-Key, Tech Itch, Gein, and Counterstrike, as a result.
