Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI; Tony Kasper, also known as Mindbender when performing to the masses, has definitely kept a steady hand inside the underground techno communities throughout the past 12 years. Tony has been an integral part of numerous promotional companies, performed at countless events, always making sure to push the boundaries of the underground dance culture. Unafraid to look for strength and beauty where others may only see decay, Tony's passion and belief for high caliber music has always come natural. Growing up as a kid, he was exposed to many types of music, including Blues, Jazz, and Rock N Roll, etc. There was no turning back.

He has opened up for such internationally-known artists as Alexi Delano, The Advent, Adam Beyer, Bryan Zentz, Adam Marshall, Mike Dearborn, Cari Lekebusch, Traxx, Cajmere, Gene Hunt, Frankie Vega, Lester Fitzpatrick, Mark Verbos, Terry Mullan, Frankie Bones, Headroom, Bad Boy Bill, and many more. Being exposed at this level, he found himself traveling everywhere from the Midwest to the East Coast and back, reaching out to dedicated Techno fans.

Tony's style can be considered as dark, aggressive, funky, floor-burning Techno. Some of his main initial influences have stemmed from the likes of: Cari Lekebusch, The Advent, Surgeon, Regis, Joel Mull, Adam Beyer, Samuel L Session, Ben Sims, Jeff Mills, Thomas Schumacher, Bryan Zentz, Marco Carola, Oscar Mulero, Carl Craig, etc. Tony's mixing technique, programming and quick skills utilize three decks and multiple audio sources that seem to be unparalleled thus controlling a crowd with every measure is always his main focus.
