Psykosonik was an American techno music group. The band had four Billboard charted Top 40 hit singles on the Dance Club Songs chart. Psykosonik was featured on the Mortal Kombat Annihilation soundtrack.
The band's lyrics include cyberpunk and extropian themes that allude to virtual reality, AI, cybernetics, life extension, and general science.
Psykosonik included musicians Paul Sebastien, Theodore Beale, Daniel Lenz, and Michael Larson. In 1987 Theodore Beale was playing in a cover band called NoBoys. He first met Paul Sebastian at The Underground in Minneapolis and the two men put together a band with Beale on keyboards and Sebastian on guitar and vocals. They found a drummer Michael Larson and a production engineer Daniel Lenz. The band Psykosonik began recording electronic music at Sebastian's apartment where he had a recording studio, and later found performance opportunities in local clubs including First Avenue, 7th Street Entry, and Glam Slam. Their first successful song was "Sex Me Up", which they used as a demo to sign with Wax Trax! Records and TVT Records.
The band's third album was titled Spiritual Machine. It was completed by 1997 but was never released by the band's label, Wax Trax! Records, which was at this time owned by TVT Records. Because of disagreements with their label, Psykosonik then disbanded.
Daniel Lenz went on to produce a single album with vocalist Brent Daniels titled Searching for the End under the band name Hednoize. In 2001 Lenz launched a short lived project called PsykoHed on MP3.com. He released his debut solo album, Stuck in a Dream, in 2008, featuring guest appearances by Brent Daniels, as well as Paul Sebastien of Psykosonik.
Paul Sebastien went on to work as a composer at Thomas Dolby's audio technology company Beatnik, composing several tracks for its Headspace Music Library before leaving in 1998 to pursue other technology interests. In 2003, Sebastien teamed up with Caesar Filori to release two singles under the name Basic Pleasure Model, titled Sunyata and How to Live. Larson went on to become the audio director for Epic Games and produced the soundtracks for the Gears of War series. Beale, also known as Vox Day, left the field of music.

Category: Dubstep / Electronica
Album: Man Machine
Since his days with Psykosonik in the ‘90s through to Hednoize and his subsequent solo career, Daniel Lenz has been no stranger to creating edgy electronica with expansive themes best suited for any soundtrack requirement. With his music, Lenz has explored all corners of the electronic spectrum to create a style that works as well to pack any dance floor as well as any cinema theater. His debut album Stuck in a Dream presented listeners with a style of electronic dance music that was as rhythmically addictive as it was catchy and poppy, putting him on par with the likes of Oakenfold. Now, with Man Machine, he sets his sights on the current craze of modern dubstep, all the while still incorporating his usual sense of epic atmosphere to transport the listener to other imaginative worlds.
