History
Creating a sound scape from Club to Hip Hop to Electronica The Arka Teks work to produce a unique blend of music. Hailing from Fredericton, New Brunswick, the group consists of Producer/Songwriter Nick Fowler and Singer/Songwriter Tyler Lombard. The two members actually came from opposite ends of the musical scale; Fowler created his foundation on electro-house music, glitchy intelligent dance music, and electronic dance music, while Lombard works mainly with acoustic guitars, folk lyrics and harmonic vocals. This combination of two extremes gives The Arka Teks the capability of scaling almost any genre of music. Focusing on producing precise club and dance music, The Arka Teks will design their way into your iPod in no time.

One of the things that make this band one to watch is its massive and loyal online following. In just over a year, their youtube channel has garnered over a million views and continues to grow everyday. By keeping in close contact with their fans through social media outlets such as facebook and twitter, the word is quickly spreading about this hot up and coming duo.

With the release of their first full length album Night Life, the group delivers a high energy electro-dance record that has been well received by critics and fans alike. Adam Bowie of The Daily Gleaner noted that the album is “...full of driving beats, solid vocal performances and fun stories about partying with friends.” The group is also becoming known for their charismatic and fun filled live performances. A fall tour in support of Night Life is currently in the works and will surely be a show not to be missed.
