This wonderful mix aired yesterday on our radio show and concluded our November long series with the LA Based Techno Collective, Droid Behavior.

Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban environment. Their father also exposed them to cutting edge progressive acts Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, planting early seeds for aural exploration. By the mid ’90s they were sampling LA’s underground club scene and heavily researching electronic music’s roots. After years of influence they began to express their musical vision through their own recordings and performances. Vidal and Vangelis eventually found common ground with producer / performer Drumcell, and in 2002 they formed the Droid Behavior event production group and record label out of frustration with the city’s lack of knowledge, acceptance, and understanding for Midwest-bred techno and house music and their European counterparts.
As producers Vangelis and Vidal have released and licensed original music and remixes under various aliases (most notably Acid Circus and Raíz) on the Droid Recordings imprint as well as respected labels Historia y Violencia, Tora Tora Tora, DJMag, Music Man, Resident Advisor, Enemy Rec, Gynoid, Reloading, Micro.Fon and Timefog. Their music has been charted, played and supported by Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, DVS1, Levon Vincent, Jonas Kopp, etc.
Their intense and inspiring performances have placed them alongside major players Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Dan Bell, Surgeon, Sandwell District, Robag, Paco Osuna, Pan Pot, Marco Carola, Detroit Grand Pubahs, and Berghain Residents at undergrounds, festivals, after hours, and club nights from North and South America to Berlin.
Raíz fully harness the capabilities of Traktor, Ableton, and Maschine technology to create a thick blend of Detroit influenced techno and gritty house. They take cues from years of classical training to infuse dynamic musical expression with a delicate balance of mixing board acrobatics and symbiotic intuition. Years of production experience inform their Live PA / Digital DJ hybrid approach, which uses each track’s core essentials to form a narrative arch for every unique set. Their releases follow suit and take only key elements from each rhythmic style to shape simplistic and deep music that captures their diverse influences and personal impressions.

taken from our recent radio show.... Great Mix by Drumcell from Droid Behavior:
Drumcell is the founder of Droid Recordings and co-founder of Droid Behavior along with the Vargas brothers of techno duo Acid Circus. Since the mid Nineties Drumcell has been a firm believer in the power of techno and over the past decade become one of Southern California’s greatest champions.
As a graduate of the Musician’s Institute, a veteran performer at parties, and longtime recording engineer Drumcell harnesses a strong musical background with a gifted sense of technological intuition. The delicate balance keeps him pushing the limits of his gear continually as a way to develop his artistic express. Forming the Droid Behavior collective with Acid Circus earlier this decade was another other major step in this ongoing development. In turn, the collective has helped expose other local artists as well as established DJs to the growing legion of techno fans in the Los Angeles basin. In the past five years, he’s played alongside nearly every major DJ in the genre via the trio’s signature Interface parties. This year he also did a mini-tour of the US which culminated in him playing the main stage at the prestigious Movement festival in Detroit.
Drumcell ‘s constant push into the bleeding edges of music technology has earned him the title of product specialist for Native Instruments. He is out there pushing the limits of what current technology has to offer- developing homebrew software as well as cutting edge hardware solutions to bring a fresh, innovative taste to his production and performances. Innovations that blur the lines between live performance and a traditional DJ set up creating “a thick blend of acidic techno and aggressive but funky minimalist groove”. Drumcell is one of the few artists exploiting the full power of software like Traktor and Ableton run through state-of-the-art Allen & Heath mixer technology. In conjunction, the trinity is used to create a hybrid of flexibility and fidelity for the ultimate in electronic music performance. Drumcell uses this platform to highlight his own needles-in-the-red brand of aggressive, discordant techno. In fact, this summer’s Droid Recordings release “Cell Injection”, with longtime production partner Audio Injection, crystallized this amped up testosterone booster meets Quaalude jack and funk perfectly. In turn, the release captured the attention of many of the world’s top techno jocks in the process – including Speedy J and Richie Hawtin. It’s a sound born of musical menace and the kinds of wickedness that only the poisoned airs of LA can conjure.
Recently, Drumcell has also had a string of additional successes including remixes of techno legend Chris Leibing on Leibing’s own CLR label as well as the seventh anniversary of the now legendary Interface parties These gatherings have brought the best of the old school warehouse vibe together with intense new school multimedia presentations that defy explanation. He is currently developing a audio/visual performance to be unveiled by the end of this year in hopes of elevating his performances at these events to the next level. Drumcell will definitely be one artist worth watching in 2010.

a wonderful 90 minute mix from rising stars on Dessous. Please join us @ NOICE! in welcoming : Safeword.
Safeword is the result of a decade-long friendship and a mutual love for music between San Francisco's Clint Stewart and Marc Smith. The duo has worked side by side on music for years, so the eventual pairing was inevitable. Although the two have a great deal of the same musical interests, its the differences that make it. Both Stewart and Smith bring an individual perspective to the studio, which creates an incredibly diverse dynamic ranging from deep lush house to the heavier side of techno and all things in between.
With their foundation laid in thick, heavy drums, lush melodies and hypnotic atmospherics, Safeword’s every cut is a pulsating, cerebral campaign, track-by-track leaving indelible marks on its listeners. It’s their delicate interplay of pleasurable highs and dynamic lows that set this twosome into their own realm of creation.
With their debut EP, “Gaze,” on Paso Music getting high praises, an EP on both Berlin giants Dessous and Poker Flat, as well as an EP on Alland Byallo's forthcoming label, Bad Animal, the duo are primed to start their assault on dancefloors worldwide. Don't forget the Safeword.

This was the Fourth mix in our series with the LA based Culprit Label.

Please enjoy this little ditty of a Mix.
For some time now the combined forces of Mark Caramelli and Paul Hargreaves have been causing quite a stir under their guise, Death on the Balcony. Their unique style fuses a range of influences from Disco, House to Deep Techno and everything in-between depending on the time, space and environment. Years of dedicated musical passion and an eclectic appreciation of numerous genres have lead to their sound becoming perfected and receiving huge popularity across the board.

2010 was an amazing year for them with numerous DJ gigs and both their productions and remixes receiving mass support from some of the biggest players on the scene. The likes of Magda, Soul Clap, Jimpster, Wolf + Lamb and Ivan Smagghe to name a few, have all been charting their releases and supporting them with mass airplay. The recently released “Aquarian Exposition" EP on their own label, Magicbag, is an inspired homage to the legendary Woodstock Festival and has been awarded Mixmag's Tune of the month in the May 2010 edition.

Sept 2010 saw the release of Soul Clap's 2nd FreE.P which included DOTB's Banarama edit of Cruel Summer entitled "Cruel Banana". This was heard on dancefloors across the globe resulting in it being awarded 3rd best remix of 2010 by Data Transmission website. The edit came out around the same time their "Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast - Downtown:Uptown" was released which has also gone on to receive worldwide acclaim. (click pic below to get podcast)

Their imprint, Magicbag Music now on its 5th release is currently a popular label and receives continued support from a diverse range of people ranging from Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs through to Jamie Jones, Brothers Vibe and basically the majority of the underground dance community. They have been remixed on their label Magicbag & various associated labels by Simon Baker, Gavin Herlihy, Soul Clap, Jozif, & Miquel Puente.

DOTB's DJ diary sees them play at some of the best spots in the world alongside the likes of Moodymann, Dyed Soundorom, Jamie Jones, Jacques Renault and many more. Based in Leeds & regulars in London they run their own club nights Throwback (Leeds) & Emmanuelle's Party Bucket at the infamous Horse&Groom in Shoreditch. Throwback & The Party Bucket are currently popular nights in the cities and recent guests have included Soul Clap, Craig Smith, Pete Herbert, The Revenge and Mark E who are yet more artists that fully support Death on the Balcony in all that they do.

Their release schedule is planned out until summer with DOTB releasing with the likes of Culprit, Catz n Dogz label Pets Recordings, Jef K's Silver Network, Airdrop, Akbal Music, ISM & Illusion + a forthcoming release on their own imprint Magicbag Music. They are also busy remixing for Need Want, Remote Records & Illusion. Along with all this they are working on a Limited CD mix of their own productions for release in spring/summer named Views from the Balcony...

As one of the UK’s finest up and coming acts Death on the Balcony will be delivering more productions, remixes and playing world wide gigs as their range of musicality continues to evolve and they deliver a unique, well-timed narrative of the best sounds around...

This is a Mix that originally appeared on our Radio show last week. we are proud to present Special Case on Culprit.

Special Case is a new project from three Russian (-ish) producers, that came together like all the great collectives before them (Voltron, Justice League, The Police) to create awesome music and to fight the forces of evil around the world.

The band (yeah we're a band) includes members: Arram Mantana, Tripmastaz and Rust. These are established producers and experienced selectors from St.Petersburg, Russia and (now) Detroit, USA.

We'd love to tell you more about them, but that's boring, so we'll let the music speak for now. Catch our debut release on the super awesome Culprit records from LA in October!

This wonderful Exclusive set was made for the Clique Bookings showcase for NOICE!. we are proud to present the Journey of Sound by the Amazing &ME.

When one could assume, &ME entered the house and techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. Coming from Hamburg to Berlin in 2004 his talent was soon recognized by folks like DJ Hell and DJ T. who hired him as their co-producer. Besides that, he was playing in clubs (both national and international) all week every week and putting his effort in remixes for the likes of Roxy Music, Tiefschwarz or Anthony Rother. But as soon as he dropped his first solo productions, he finally made himself a
name in a quite unparalleled way.

“F.I.R.” – his first release on keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, he helped founding in 2009, was a massive clubhit, but in the end not much more than a foretaste of things to come.
Releases and remixes on Front Room, Souvenir, Rebirth, Liebe*Detail, Saved etc. followed, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire spread even more into international realms, and that’s where he stands right now, as his blend of techno and soulful housemusic took incredible shape: Many new projects in focus and clearly visible
as one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
