♥️ 35 Jahre Techno-30.4.24

Boss of the mighty Modularz imprint, Adrian Sandoval alias Developer has used his years of sustained studio and live experimentation to establish a sound signature both intricately dynamic and genuinely hypnotic. Building complex mazes of rhythmic entanglements and sunken atmospheres, the LA-based sound architect amazes with his intelligent use of the modular possibilities, as much as his capacity to create durable musical statements through elementary palettes than some manage will ever manage to tell in annoyingly baroque, faux-clever assemblages of rehashed tropes and mechanisms. Develop yourself.

Developer joins for DifferentSound Podcast #250.

Developer is one of a few active DJ/Producers that emerged from the Los Angeles techno scene in the early 1990's. After ending his residency as a DJ on radio station 88.7FM kspc in 1995, Developer "Adrian Sandoval" Became the Import & Export Manager of the first dedicated techno distribution company on the west coast " Entity Music Distribution " which distributed top labels such as Axis Records, Reload Belgium, Plus 8, as well as a wealth techno label's from Detroit, Chicago and around the world. 

Over the last 3 decades Developer has played alongside many of the elite techno talents from around the globe as well as taking part in laying a foundation in the LA techno culture by producing events and exposing various first time international talents throughout the mid 1990's to late 2000's. Developer gained much of his acclaim and extensive performance history from his strong marathon sets and quick programming skills as well as the ability of playing 50 tracks per hour on 3 turntables with effect processor and sampler.

Developer continues to thrive as one of the most interesting techno mixmasters from the Americas as well as the birth of his label Moduarz which features productions and remixes from some of his early contemporaries in Los Angeles as well as a few established and emerging talents from around the world. 

Developer's current approach on the advanced DJ/Performance comes naturally with the evolution of technology, software, effect processors and a strong library of timeless Techno and House tracks

THE BORDER BETWEEN TIMELESS OLDSCHOOL QUALITY AND NEW SCHOOL UPFRONT INNOVATION IN TODAY'S ELECTRONIC MUSIC, just call it :: DRIVING,RAW & HYPNOTIC - TECHNO!

Baumann’s work as DJ and producer combining a solid and clear vision going beyond tasteful standards with an innovative way of exploring the sounds of tomorrow. He definitely has become over the years a confident performer that can easily electrify the dance floor with his emotionally and technically state-of-the-art sets. This has made him an undeniable vinyl expert as resident of PSYCHO THRILL, but also a recognized DJ that dares to transcend the “classic” rules in the genres Techno and Acid. Of course Baumann shows the same confidence and authenticity with sound specific sets in which his special love for Techno, in particular for the raw and hypnotic styles, will always be the strongest element. His commitment to the underground is the essence of it all…
Baumann’s concept and greatest goal is to be able to capture the crowd and transport it to the sound of atmospherically condensed Techno and Acid far from the daily routine and tension. As an indisputable "defender of the vinyl" he owns an eclectic and constantly growing collection of more than 6000 records. Since the beginning of Cologne’s PSYCHO THRILL second phase, back in 2008, Baumann has been an active part of the label family.
In addition to his long-standing career as a DJ and producer, Baumann is also a certified Mixing & Mastering Engineer and founder of CB Mastering. With over 30 years of experience in electronic music and audio production, he offers a unique blend of artistic sensitivity and technical precision. Specializing in electronic genres – from raw Techno to deep Soul, Acid Jazz and beyond – his mastering work has become known for sculpting frequencies into energy that resonates both digitally and on vinyl. As a creative partner to indie artists and underground labels, Baumann combines analog warmth with modern clarity, always driven by an uncompromising ear for sonic identity. 
Born and raised in Siegen [Germany], Baumann discovered his passion for Acid House as a teenager during the so-called “Summer of Love” in the late 80’s inspired by his uncle who was working as a professional DJ and promoter in the local club scene at that time. At the age of 12 he started “to work” the turntables and eventually really got into traditional DJ-mixing with the help and support of his uncle. He eventually managed to become a DJ and promoter himself at the age of 18, following the footsteps of his mentor who unfortunately passed away in 1998.
