[Minimal Deep Tech - Tech House]

Seth Troxler is one of electronic music’s most instantly recognisable artists. He has carved out his own unique path as a cultural commentator, art curator, restaurateur and entrepreneur. Descended from a family of cowboys and Baptist preachers, Seth is part African-American, with a singular approach to viewing the world through the prism of contemporary music culture.

Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and raised in suburban Detroit, Seth learnt the art of DJing initially from his stepfather (then a college radio DJ) and later from working, at only 16, behind the counter in legendary Detroit record store ‘Melodies & Memories’. It wasn’t until Seth made the decision to explore new horizons in the mid-2000s, moving to Berlin fresh out of his teens (after debuting at Panorama Bar at just 18 years old), that his DJ career really took off.

Since the move from Detroit to Berlin, then settling in London for a number of years, and now with his time divided between Ibiza and Berlin (Round 2), Seth has established himself as one of the world biggest DJs (voted the world’s number one DJ in scene bible Resident Advisor and gracing the front cover of Mixmag three times). He’s equally at home playing to the smoke-filled dance floors of some of the world’s most discerning nightclubs, such as CircoLoco, fabric (London), Nordstern (Basel), The Lux (Lisbon) or Blitz (Munich), as he is headlining the world’s largest festivals, like Glastonbury, Movement, Roskilde or Sonar.

Right from the word go, Seth has been as passionate about food and contemporary art as he is about music, and these two interests have resonated at all points, and in parallel, to his music career. A multi-faceted modern artist: he has held residencies at talismanic music institutions, run numerous record labels, and pursued his own solo recording career (including the recent ‘Play In The Dark’ collaboration with the Martinez Brothers on Crosstown Rebels, and ‘Lumartes’ that kick started CircoLoco Recordings in Summer 2021). Furthermore Seth has found the time to launch the successful Smokey Tails’ restaurant in London, to create and host his own party during the Rio Carnival, and then to stop everything and to take the time out to climb Kilimanjaro for charity.

More recently Seth has focussed his creative energies on his ‘Lost Souls of Saturn’ www.lostsoulsofsaturn.com project, alongside Phil Moffa and further opaque participants, that sits firmly at the intersection between futuristic electronica, contemporary art and technology. In 2019 Lost Souls Of Saturn presented their audio/visual installation Transmission at the Saatchi Gallery in London, after its premiere during Art Basel in Switzerland, and collaborated with the Met in New York and the Fondation Beyeler in Basel in 2021. Lost Souls Of Saturn are currently recording their second album and conducting further experiments in augmented reality and virtual reality, which will be revealed soon.

Extremely well travelled, constantly searching and experiencing, Seth Troxler continues to follow his own unique path.

For COa, each beat, rhythm, and melody is more than just sound; it's an unfolding story, a testament to the dedication, evolution, and heartfelt inspiration.
Aleksandar (COa)'s musical journey began in grade school early 90’s as drummer for "Art Bliss" an alternative band from Jagodina. During those days, COa discovered his natural connection to music, a gift influenced by his father's beats as a rock drummer and complemented by his older brother's own musical pursuits.

In the mid-'90s, Aleksandar's musical sensibilities were inundated with new sounds. For the first time, he was introduced to the underground rhythms of acid house via FM radio. Television broadcasts like VJ Techno, Supernova, and the Thursday late night radio show "Fraktal" on Radio Politika further fueled his passion for electronic music. This newfound love culminated when he attended a major party in Belgrade in 1996.

During challenging times in the 90s for Serbia, without access to proper DJ & studio equipment, COa and his friend Dragan F. delved somehow into the world of DJ-ing with BST CDJ Players, and music production using software such as HammerHead Rhythm Station, PropellerHead ReBirth RB-338, and later Fruity Loops. This passion led them to establish a concept called "Technodrome" (1997 – 2003) - techno parties that became a voice of resistance and revolution in Jagodina. 

Yet, it was in 2012, with the embrace of Ableton Live, that COa truly found his electronic voice, uncovering an enriched appreciation for the vast canvas of electronic music.

Throughout their music journey back in 90's and 2000's in Jagodina, COa, and Dragan F. established themselves as central figures of the electronic music genre, taking up long-term DJ residencies in renowned clubs including Rupa, DNK, Life, and Princip. Their sets became anticipated events and influenced the local electronic music scene.

Between 1997 and 2003, Jagodina witnessed a cultural metamorphosis. "Technodrome" wasn't merely an event; it was an experience, a movement that COa and Dragan F. created. Their influence permeated deeper than the turntables & CDJs. From 1997-2003, the "Technodrome" phase under their stewardship redefined Jagodina's electronic music cultural soundscape.

In 2003 both COa and Dragan F., collectively known as “Technodrome”, made the difficult decision to dissolve their organization. But they wouldn't bow out quietly. Instead, they orchestrated what would become the most significant party Jagodina had ever witnessed: 'Demonstracija Sile' (Demonstration of the Force). This monumental event drew a crowd of over 5,000 attendees, unfolding in the expansive cinema hall, equipped with a staggering 20-kilowatt Turbosound system, lasers, and a video projector. It wasn't just a party; it was a statement, marking the end of Technodrome but ensuring its legacy would echo through the chronicles of Jagodina's electronic music history.

COa's influence wasn't confined only to the decks; he became a beacon for new budding artists from Jagodina, mentoring and enlightening them about the intricacies of music production.

Transitioning into the Hypnotix phase, he proudly introduced two EPs to a U.S. label, 1 Vinyl LP for the German Label, and the subsequent metamorphosis into COa marked another chapter of his diverse musical journey. 

Now, his work embraces genres like electro, techno, and techno house (not a tech-house shit).

Presently, COa is more than a pseudonym; it's a representation of Aleksandar's expansive journey. Through his Live Project and DJ sets, he showcases a curated experience, reflecting years of dedication and an innate understanding of electronic music.
