Komatic

Komatic is the stage name of Andy Powell. He is a London-based producer and DJ working primarily in drum and bass, jungle and liquid funk.

Powell released solo material as Komatic in the mid-2000s. In that period he also partnered with Peter Rogers under the billing Technicolour & Komatic. The two collaborators later became the duo Technimatic, and as part of that project they signed to and released music on labels including Shogun Audio.

As Komatic, Powell has released and promoted music through a mix of labels and platforms cited in public sources: Technique/Worldwide Audio, Critical, Spearhead, Bassdrive Tunes, plus digital storefronts and outlets such as Beatport and SoundCloud.

Musically Komatic sits in the liquid and jungle side of drum and bass. His productions favour clear, programmed drum work and melodic, atmospheric elements consistent with liquid funk: sustained pads and chord motion, tight mid-to-high drum transients, and basslines that sit below the harmonic material rather than crowd it. On drum programming he uses concise break edits and layered drum transient shaping to keep kick and snare definition; on the low end he leans toward controlled sub-bass that supports rather than dominates the mix. Those choices give Komatic tracks a smoother, rolling feel while keeping percussive detail audible on club systems and streams.

Career highlights in public records focus on the mid-2000s solo releases under Komatic and the collaborative arc with Peter Rogers that produced Technicolour & Komatic and then Technimatic. Technimatic’s catalogue and label activity — including releases on Shogun Audio — is frequently cited alongside Powell’s Komatic output, showing a through-line from his solo work into collaborative projects. The names Technique/Worldwide Audio, Critical, Spearhead and Bassdrive Tunes appear in connection with Komatic releases and promotion.

Public information on Powell’s stated influences is limited. What is verifiable: he worked closely with Peter Rogers in the Technicolour & Komatic pairing and then within Technimatic, and his recorded output is available via Beatport and SoundCloud alongside the label releases already listed.

For listeners and bookers, the verifiable anchor points are Komatic’s mid-2000s solo releases, the Technicolour & Komatic collaboration with Peter Rogers, the subsequent Technimatic project (with releases on Shogun Audio among others), and material released or promoted through Technique/Worldwide Audio, Critical, Spearhead, Bassdrive Tunes, Beatport and SoundCloud.
