Dr Cyanide is the techno alias of José Chacón, a Spanish producer born in Madrid on April 26, 1979. He entered electronic music in 1995 and operates under additional aliases including Pwcca and José Chacón Benito. Chacón owns Hardtools Records, a UK-based label focused on his harder techno productions.

His output centers on peak time driving techno designed for main room dance floors. Dr Cyanide has released material on Mephyst, Newrhythmic, Hardtools Records, and Revolt between 2016 and 2019, with five documented releases across these imprints. His productions fall squarely within the hard techno spectrum, delivering the high-energy, driving rhythms that define peak time sets.
