About a year ago, Nick and I decided to embark on a fresh journey, leaving our old aliases behind and becoming 1TK & Operator P. We spent countless hours talking music history and sharing records, which eventually led to us teaming up with innovation as our focus.
After three months of crafting unique sample palettes, we set out to create three tracks that could stand the test of time. First came “Paulie 96,” followed by “1 Putt Shooter,” and now, we’re proud to present our latest release with @deadbeats one of the biggest labels not just in Toronto, but across the west.
“Full Circle” is a project that truly represents our combined skills and creativity, pushing us both to our limits. It’s out now, stream or download it through the link in our bio. Cheers!
@djoneteekay luv ya pal 🥰
Crimson Venom strikes with precision, dripping in 2-step grit and late-night swagger. Where Ice Cold delivered the freeze, this one brings the burn, a darker counterpoint that slithers through the system with sharp percussion, heavy low-end, and a touch of venom in the details. Written in the same spirit that fuels 9D5Dance, its equal parts danger and finesse...the sound of two producers pushing their retail saga deeper into the underground.
1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣2️⃣ Out Now 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣2️⃣
With “1102,” the duo continues their retail saga, dialing in more 2-step business with a wink and a shuffle. Named after a mysterious code scrawled on a break room schedule somewhere behind the Orange Julius, this one blends crisp drums, sweet textures, and just enough tang to leave a taste behind. It’s fruity, it’s cheeky, and it sticks like syrup on a price gun.
Still thawing out from last weekend at Electric Island, sun on our backs, beers in hand, bass in our veins. We came in cool, left ‘em shivering… and now the frostbite’s official 🍻🍻
Forged in the frozen food aisle and inspired by Sub-Zero’s grip, “Ice Cold” channels glacial 2-step and frosty low-end pressure built for tiled floors and security camera footage. Rumour has it this one was sculpted during a shift change behind the Eaton Centre’s food court, just steps from the Cinnabon. Sharp, slick, and deadly calm, it’s the sound of two producers plotting their mall gig breakthrough. Cold today, but something venomous is stirring just beyond the heat lamps.
Electric Island this Saturday.
First time touching that stage… and we’re coming as a unit.
You might’ve clocked it already. 1TK & Operator P are officially a duo now.
That’s why the heat’s been nonstop lately. (Retail Badmon out now, by the way.)
UKG flavours, heavyweight swing, full pressure. We’re not showing up quiet.
See you front left 😮💨🌀
An ode to the frontline, this one goes out to retail lifers and mall walkers alike. Built by two garage heads scheming on a daytime gig at the Eaton Centre, the track fuses bold 2-step pressure with playful samples and a proper old-school flex. Somewhere between the food court and the fitting room, youll hear a familiar voice claiming the systems 5,000 watts - a nod to local folklore and even louder ambitions.
Our guests for this months show are @1tkmusic & @operatorp_ . Fresh off the release of their new wobbly, head-spinning roller “Wiggly B Ice” on @9d5dance , the pair link up for an hour of heady, bass-forward garage cuts. Tune in on @subtleradio this Saturday at 9PM EST / 6PM PST / 2AM GMT.
We’re back. 9D5Dance in full pursuit.
New one out now “Trust Me” 🌀
Big drums, big bass, big energy.
Made for the cabinets, tested in the wild.

After three hard-hitting collaborations in 2024, @1tkmusic and @operatorp_ return, this time as a unified force. Having spent the early part of the year deep in the studio, the duo is locked in and ready for a summer sprint. “Trust Me” is a no-nonsense club weapon. Punchy drums, heavy low-end, and razor-sharp detail make it built for the rig. Early support has been strong, and it’s only just beginning.
Early band camp access and preorders on your favourite stores.
