The Questions
-Where, geographically, did you grow up? Was it a single place or many places?
 I grew up in a very small suburb of Detroit called Huntington Woods, at 11 Mile & Woodward. I never really lived anywhere else, though I did move within Huntington Woods a couple times until my parents settled in their current home. Huntington Woods is a well-off town. Very Jewish (like me). It’s comprised mostly of houses, a small elementary school, a library, a rec center, a small city hall, a few parks, and 2-3 businesses on the border roads (no restaurants). I feel an urge to say more but that pretty much says it all.

-Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?
The Sonny Rollins track was a find from my Dad’s CD collection. It’s off the album saxophone colossus, an album I would later find on vinyl at a shop in Chicago. When I first started driving I’d often snag CDs from our living room and listen to them on repeat in the car. So the first time I heard that song was the first play through of that album in my 2002 Toyota Camry. It was the first jazz ballad I fell in love with. The conviction with which he plays the saxophone on that song is really heart wrenching.

- Who "introduced" you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?
Hard to point to any one thing, person, or music platform that introduced me to these songs. Since the mix was all-vinyl, some of the albums (like saxophone colossus) were ones I knew about and felt I needed to have a physical copy of. The rest I discovered from shazaming songs off of Jazzy Nights sets, connecting with records from my parents’ collection, being lectured about jazz music by the old hippies at PJ’s Records (RIP) in Ann Arbor, hearing stuff from the WCBN library, or going down discogs rabbit holes. Honestly, my collection is old enough (~10 years) at this point where it’s starting to feel unclear to me how exactly I discovered these pieces of music — they’ve just been in my cabinet for a long time. I do remember in particular someone telling me the story about Miles Davis’s Four and More (the album that has the song “Four” on it), how it was recorded live from the New York Philharmonic Hall, and how Tony Williams was 16 years old playing standards at 2-3x speed like a pro. But I don’t remember who told me that story, I just remember finding the record and being really stoked.

- Where and when did you first hear techno?
I think I first heard something that could be described as Techno back in late 2000s/early 2010s: Hardstyle, UKF Dubstep stuff, Deadmau5, etc. I never thought much about who it sounded like it was for, probably Eastern European ravers and/or gamers. Honestly, I was never really interested in Techno (as a snot-nosed kid, actively anti-electronic music) until I learned about the history/connection to Detroit 4 years ago.  

- Where can we find more of you?

Vol 18. Sióg

LectrO cOd_E returns to Woodwork with a relentless 5-track electro EP. As expected of the follow up to his previous Woodwork release ‘cOd_E Violation’, the sound is intense and the energy is raw.

'Infamous bass' kicks things off with choppy breaks and immense growling sub bass hits. Skittish synth work connects intimately with a pulverizing drum kit tinged with resonant flanger effects.

Bass drones are a common theme that runs throughout the EP, connecting the tracks as a seamless experience. 'Resistance is futile' serves up a series of dramatic hits perfectly aligned with bubbling synth, low rider breaks and that subsonic bass drone.

'Invading' quickens the pace a notch and features several passes of resonant filter bleep loops and rising effects. This increased flow winds nicely toward the abstract percussive banger, 'the force'. Kick drums, toms and noise hits punch in unison, sharing an infectious interplay that forms a unique centerpiece for this collection.

Closing the EP is 'outraged', reminiscent of Lectro cOd_E's earlier work on his cOd_E Violation EP, but also a solid bridge to this present incarnation of his sound and approach.
