MACHINE 16 :: TRUNCATE - MACHINE @ My Aeon 5th Birthday 30th May 2014

Born and raised in Madrid, Jose Cabrera grew up on a wide range of musical genres, but in the techno realm come to appreciate the quality techno titans like M-Plant,Basic Channel, Axis, Chain Reaction, Mosaic, Downwards, UR and Dynamic Tension. His own style of raw, stripped down and hypnotic techno is a reflection of his influences. In 2012, he started the label A Harmless Deed together with his friend Damian Schwartz, releasing records of the likes of Fred P, Dj F, Marcos Cabral and Epiphany and he produced his first EP for the argentinian label Greener Records in the beginning of 2013. He’s since released on Fred P’s Soul People Music, Deeply Rooted House, Tresor and others, as well as his own JC Records.

This week’s mix is a reflection of the aesthetic described above, moving from hypnotic pads to some Mike Parker, getting harder to make its way to Robert Hood’s excellent “Side Effect” and finishing with a track that really sounds like it belongs on Tomorrow.

J.C. has an upcoming release on his own label as well as a split EP with Kastil on Ben Sims’ relaunched Symbolism.

Note from Whipnotiq: I am so honored to be featuring Subversive's set from our last Dirty Epic party of 2014. Subversive went on last that night, after Rrose, and I remember I had to leave the party to take a friend home. I decided to go back to the party because I knew the music would still be going off! Subversive was killing it! He had the whole room shaking and there were still people going crazy on the dance floor till 6am. I felt like Dirty Epic threw a true LA techno underground that night and I hope you can feel it too when listening to this set! Enjoy <3

They say all great things are worth waiting for, and we couldn't agree more on a day when we are able to welcome Los Angeles techno flag-bearer Drumcell for his first Global Vibe Radio mix.

Drumcell was born as Moe Espinosa in LA’ San Gabriel Valley. Far away from the glamour and glitter of Hollywood, he cut his teeth growing up in a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood that still breeds inspiration for his work.

To say that Drumcell's work as a curator is synonymous with the Los Angeles techno scene as we know it today would be an understatement. First as co-founder of Droid Behavior, the label that ultimately gave birth to the infamous now-defunct Interface event series, and more recently as co-founder of Observe, Drumcell has been active in curating avant-garde techno events for decades. It is these events, as well as Drumcell's own productions, that have not only put LA on the international techno map, but have inspired countless other artists and event curators (6AM included) to contribute to their local techno scenes. 

A classically trained musician in his youth, Moe came to circulate around the Noise, Punk and Industrial scene, playing guitar and singing in various bands until he discovered the early ‘90s LA rave scene. 

That was when he got in touch with some of the heroic synthesizers of techno’s early years. His enthusiasm for those synthetic sounds lead to a career as a Product Specialist at Native Instruments and to independent musician and engineer work across Los Angeles. Some of his studio contributions include work for Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb, Gary Numan, George Clinton, Kool Keith, Qbert, and Cut Chemist.

By then, Moe was chuffed to pursue his own productions. When he handed out his first self-produced, self-pressed vinyls at the DEMF in 2001, he heard them being played from the festival stages the very next day. Since then, he has released original productions or remixes on DROID, CLR, Electric Deluxe, Dystopian, Torque, Silent Steps, Blank Code, Ibadan, Detroit Underground, and more. This style has caught the attention of many of the world’s top techno jocks, with strong track support from the likes of Luke Slater, Speedy J, and Chris Leibing. This style has also reached numerous prestigious international clubs and festivals. From Berlin’s techno mecca Berghain to the main stage of Movement in Detroit to North American nightclubs like Output and Stereo to festivals across Europe, Latin America, Japan and Australia – Drumcell’s sound is being heard around the world.

In 2016, Drumcell debuted his ambient project HYPOXIA on his experimental label BL_K NOISE, producing infinite movement with his Buchla and Eurorack systems. Hypoxia all hardware performance have been heard at highly curated atmospheres from Atonal and Berghain in Berlin to Brooklyn’s Greyscale Series at Output to pop-up concerts on the LA River.

Drumcell explores and discovers the analogue world as much as the digital world of music production, to finally combine them into his very own raw, suspenseful and hypnotic style. Influenced by a myriad of music as well as science fiction and machines, he has developed an addiction to analog synthesis which has led to ceaseless experiments in his studio in search of new, mind-expanding sounds. As one of the most esoteric techno artists in North America, his sound disregards genre limitations and is everything but conventional techno.

MACHINE is an Australian based record label for deep futuristic techno music.
Established in 2009 



28 years ago, when Zuccaro walked into his first rave party in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his passion for techno was born. He started DJing shortly thereafter and hasn’t stopped. Since that time he has been actively involved in the scene in Pittsburgh, Toronto, Milwaukee, and now Tampa, Florida.
 
Born in Florida but raised in Pennsylvania, Zuccaro finds himself back and busier than ever with his multiple projects. Founder of the MKE Techno movement and owner of 2econd Wind , he jumped into the production side in 2013 and has managed many events. 
 
In his first few years of listening to electronic music, and spinning hard techno, Zuccaro worked with House of Styles Productions producing events and promoting his shows with DJs from around the world. He found himself partnering with talent including Derek May, Misjah, Ritchie Hawtin, Adam X, Frankie Bones, DJ Dan, Kevin Saunderson and many others.  
 
Techno music is what drives him, and he hasn’t ever stopped listening to, and creating, fresh new sounds. Zuccaro explored the underground music scene in Toronto, and then took his skills to Milwaukee, where he started doing collaborations with A Long Nite Productions, putting on a monthly show, DJing as a resident at Studio 200 for events and hosting artists from around the world such as Coyu, Manic Brothers, Adam X, Drumcell, Harvard Bass, and the Detroit Techno Militia.  
 
Music is a passion of his, and Zuccaro defines his style as a heavy groove.  He always had an appetite and ear for techno music. Some big influences that inspired his style include Adam Beyer, Mike Dearborn, Damon Wild, Ben Sims, Adam X as well as Marco Carola, and Jeff Mills.
 
In January 2014, Zuccaro partnered with Demetri Nocturnal and created the MKE Techno radio show. Celebrating their one-year anniversary, they released a special episode featuring Michelle Sparks.  They also launched a successful small clothing line for the MKE Techno, starting simply with hats and a selection of apparel.  
 
Summer 2014 found Zuccaro back in Florida, continuing to DJ and host the MKE Techno radio show.  He is also putting together a remix for Alejandro Magno release on Format records with Demetri Nocturnal under the name Zuccaro & Nocturnal, and is working on an upcoming EP release on an as-yet-undisclosed label in 2015. 2econd Wind  is working with the Yellowheads from Madrid, Spain for their first U.S. tour in March and April 2015 along with other artists that will be added to the roster.  Look out for Zuccaro’s next big thing!

Over the last ten years, Madrid born Jose Cabrera has proved that he has a diverse taste in music, and an equally diverse output. Music that is made for the floor, music that works on distilling techno to is rawest and most core elements and music that aims to hypnotise dance floors with its absorbing sense of mood and groove. 

As well as EP's on labels like Deeply Rooted, Tresor Records & Ben Sims' Symbolism, he has also released on his own labels, J.C. and A Harmless Deed. 2015 came correct with a fully immersive full length, Portrait of the Flying Sky. It was a well received album that found J.C exploring his most compelling techno atmospheres yet. Full of refined grooves, slicks bleeps and bass and subtly spaced out synths, it proved a big success with DJs, dancers and worldwide press alike. 

As a DJ, this well travelled Spaniard is just as accomplished— In 2014 he became part of the resident team at the legendary Tresor club, most often found stitching together visceral techno soundtracks, electro and ambient whenever it is need in order to complete the musical path down which he takes you. Of course, J.C also plays at various other clubs and festivals around Europe and as such is a key part of the global techno conversation.

Since being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's, David has been hooked. At the age of 15 he started DJing and playing out at local underground events and raves around the Southern California area. You would've found him spinning various styles from house, acid, & techno to hardcore techno.

After years of DJing he then decided to learn to produce his own music, which landed him his first releases on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & local label Droid Recordings. Since being associated with local event production group Droid Behavior in 2003, you can find him as a resident at the infamous Interface warehouse events as well as a regular producer for Droid Recordings. Over the years his music has gained worldwide attention and onto the playlists of many big players which eventually led him to gigs at some of the worlds biggest clubs including Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London. He is also now regularly touring all over the world in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Central & South America, all throughout Europe and the U.S.A.

In early 2011 he started a project called 'Truncate' which focuses on the deeper, and more raw side of techno. His Truncate releases have been gain support from big players such as, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is no slowing down in the near future for David as he continues to shape his own sound, putting Droid Behavior and Los Angeles on the techno map
