Brikha was born in Iran and moved to Sweden at a young age.[citation needed] In his early teens, he developed an interest in electronic music from artists such as Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb and Kraftwerk. Brikha obtained an Atari and started to use a sequencer, and after initially emulating the music of others, he began composing. Friends who heard his material told him it was 'Detroit Techno'. Brikha had no idea what that was - and so they played him records by Robert Hood and Berlin's Basic Channel.[2]
Brikha released his earliest material on Swedish imprints such as Dunkla, Plump, and Placktown. However, he soon realized that his music was not what the local labels were looking for. Therefore, he began to search for new outlets. One of the places he looked was Derrick May's Transmat Records.[citation needed] Transmat contacted Brikha and, as a result, his Art Of Vengeance EP (with ‘Groove La Chord’) was issued on its sister label, Fragile, in 1998.[2]
Since forging an alliance with Transmat, Brikha has toured solidly with his live show, playing everywhere from the inaugural DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) to clubs such as London's Fabric and Tokyo’s Air and Yellow.[5][6]
