Behind Controlteam.

Kenneth Graham is a West Coast veteran — a house and techno producer and DJ who has been making records since the early 1990s. Based in Los Angeles, he founded the labels Controlteam, Visage and Language Trax, and has released widely across respected labels around the world for three decades.

Controlteam is his own imprint — house and techno with a jazz undertow, from raw early machine tracks to recent deep collaborations with Pablo Bolívar. Under the alias Estelle Montenegro he explored downtempo and deep house early on (Lakeside, Waterfalls).

Thirty years on, he's still releasing — new records, reissues from the vaults, and the career-spanning Selects compilations.

Tim Humphreys runs the business side of Kenneth's labels — Controlteam and Visage — from Pennsylvania. A lifelong collector, recording engineer, DJ, writer and reviewer, he has spent years championing the under-appreciated and the overlooked.

He owns and runs re:discovery, a reissue label devoted to bringing timeless outliers — much of it forgotten '90s chill-out and deep electronic music — back to the surface.

He also hosts Electric Cafe, a podcast on YouTube where the digging continues out loud.
