A highly acclaimed producer and a classically trained pianist, Bluetech (aka Evan Bartholomew) has released five groundbreaking downtempo electronica albums (Prima Materia, Elementary Particles, Sines & Singularities, Phoenix Rising and The Divine Invasion) in the span of 7 years and has contributed music to numerous compilations from labels the world over. His versatility as a producer and sound designer shine through in his ambient and tech house side projects (Evan Bartholomew and Evan Marc) while his enduring commitment to music has been demonstrated via his own labels Native State Records and Somnia.

Working with Waveform Records, Aleph Zero, Somnia and Thoughtless Music over the years, Bluetech has collaborated with musicians Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy of System 7 as well as with Dr. Israel, Shen, Lynx & Janover and Tina Malia. His recent remix of Vieux Farka Toure's Souba Souba for Six Degrees Records was one of the stand-out tunes on the release and he is set to remix a track for the upcoming Kaya Project Desert Phase Remix album.  Other notable remixes have been done for Pitch Black, Shulman and STS9. Evan's work has, in turn, been remixed by System 7, Pitch Black, Ott and others. 
Based in Portland, Oregon Bluetech has built up a huge global fanbase and has maintained a very busy touring schedule across domestic and international borders during the course of his career.  Recent notable performances include appearances at Earthdance California 2009, the Rainbow Serpent Festival (Australia), Boom (Portugal) Glade (UK), Voov (Germany), Underwater Overground (Croatia)  as well as at Emerg+N+See, LIB, Sonic Bloom, Symbiosis and Camp Bisco. In addition, his music was recently licensed to the popular HBO show CSI Miami and has also been placed in a variety of other multimedia projects.
Bluetech's love of the melodic and exquisite sense of sound design makes him one of the most ingenious producers today  - Aleph Zero Records
