Hipnotek is an alias used by dance producer/DJ/artist Derrek Rahming. Rahming has produced records for rappers Afro Rican (the hits "Give It All You Got" and "All of Puerto Rico"), as well as Hi Town DJs ("Ding-A-Ling"), and Power Supply ("Bass Boom Bottom"). 2001 saw the release of Hipnotek's self-titled debut on the Pandisc label, fusing together elements of rap, techno bass, and dance. In the wake of the debut's release, several 12" vinyl releases were issued of remixed tracks from other DJs. ~ Greg Prato
