archetyp

With several full-length albums under his belt on Jay Denham's (Disko-B, Transmat) BlackNation Records, and the U.K.'s Theory Records, as well as a slew of singles and appearances on numerous compilations and mix CDs, Charles (better known to the world as Archetyp) is no stranger to the international electronic music scene. Thanks largely to the BlackNation releases, as well as other well-received EPs on Klang Electronic's mother label Ongaku, his own offshoot from the 21-22 Corporation (Glyph), and Ben Sims' Theory label, Noel has taken his place among the top echelon of artists redefining techno music in the 2000s.

Charles has also performed in various venues around North America and Europe, including after-hours performances for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival with Akufen and Orlando Voorn and the SONAR festival in Barcelona, appearing alongside Jeff Mills, Aphex Twin, Richard Divine, Matmos, and John Peel. His music expanded farther east in 2002 during a tour of Japan with Fumiya Tanaka and label-mate Ricardo Villaobos, where he headlined at the world-famous Liquid Room in Tokyo.
