One of my all time favourite mixes. Would love to see another Louderbach album some day. I still remember the first time I heard it thumping in Colette Paris.

Recorded in promotion of Nadja Lind's forthcoming DJ set in Room Three on Saturday 10th August 2013

With both his parents being professional classical musicians, it might not be a surprise that John Tejada has become known as one of the most prolific and consistent producers in today’s eletronic music landscape. Trained on drums and the piano from an early age, the LA-based synth mastermind has since amassed his own impressive skill set, embracing the music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical sonics, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo.

Before hooking up with Kompakt, the much-acclaimed studio wizard had already made his own dent in the musical universe, thanks to a flurry of top-tier releases on labels such as Steve Bug’s Pokerflat Recordings, the legendary Plug Research imprint, 7th City, R&S and many more - but nothing prepared the world for those exquisite bangers „Sweat On The Walls“ and „Mono On Mono“, both released in 2004, with the latter being one of the most fervently beloved classics on John’s own label Palette Recordings. It’s here that John has continuously honed his skills, together with friends and long-time collaborators like Arian Leviste, Justin Maxwell or classical jazz guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto (as band project I’m Not A Gun).

Besides his work in the trenches of modules, patches and other things spelled synth, John has developed some serious DJ acumen over the years - travelling around the globe to light up renowned clubs and festivals such as Movement (the event formerly known as the Detroit Electronic Music Festival), Sonar Festival (both the Spain and Tokyo instalments), Dance Valley (Netherlands), Sync Festival (Greece), Mutek Mexico, Fabric (London), Yellow (Tokyo), Rex Club (Paris), The Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles) and many, many more. It’s somewhat admirable, then, that the man still finds time for his studio explorations - but the quality of the releases he has unleashed upon Kompakt alone (including brilliant full-length offerings and a couple of much-liked 12“es) bears witness to the musical genius that is John Tejada.

Troy Pierce and Gibby Miller are blurring the lines between their respective influences on this week's RA podcast.

You might not think that a hardcore punk vocalist and minimal techno producer would be the likeliest of studio bedfellows, but Troy Pierce and Gibby Miller have forged quite the partnership with their Louderbach project. Marrying Minus man Pierce's tenebrous take on techno with Miller's gothic vocals, the duo have created an electronic pop synergy that isn't afraid to get deep and dark both musically and lyrically. Miller's began his musical career in the late '90s as vocalist in Boston-based punk band The Trouble, but the turn of the century saw him become inaugurated into the techno scene after meeting up with Troy Pierce in New York. The two struck up a friendship and have been collaborating ever since, birthing the first fruits of their collective labour on a split release for Mo's Ferry Productions. 

After more collaborations with Marc Houle, Guido Schneider and Sammy Dee, Miller was formally welcomed into the Louderbach fold, and the pair set to work on what would become their debut album. Entitled Enemy Love, the record seemed to be a continuation of Pierce's previous nocturnal minimal techno outings on Underl_ne and Minus, but this year's Autumn LP is a very different beast. Miller's love of EBM, new wave and minimal synth music are clearer than ever, whilst Pierce's has found new directions to channel his love of menacing electronic sounds. This week's RA podcast sees Pierce and Miller select the pieces of music that have heavily influenced each of them, before merging them into a single genre-defying whole that represents the ingredients that make the Louderbach sound. We caught up with both members by e-mail to ask about the mix, the decision to release on Minus, and their recent video competition.


What have you been working on recently?

Troy Pierce: I have been in London a lot over the past few weeks working with my girlfriend on the sound design for an installation she is doing for her degree show. (She graduates from Central St. Martins in June.) I am also trying to finish a number of remixes at the moment: a Function remix for Sandwell District, one for my New York friend Mike Bryant's Intrinsic Design label, one for the Swayzak guys and a Louderbach cover of a Passarella Death Squad track. All of them are in various states of completion.

Gibby Miller: Working on my label, Dais Records. It's mostly experimental sounds; ambient, folk, archival, avant-garde etc... I'm also working on some new Louderbach remixes which are coming this summer.

How and where was the mix recorded?

GM: I submitted about 100 tracks to Troy for this project, and we communicated back and forth a bit about order and flow, but he did all the hard work (creating it!) and it was done in Berlin.

Can you tell us a little bit about the mix?

TP: I was in Los Angeles in January visiting Gibby, and we did a DJ gig together at this goth party there. Gibby was playing more punk/new wave/goth stuff and I played sort of dark slower techno and it worked really well together. So from that, I sort of proposed the idea that he send me one hundred tracks, his root influences—whatever you want to call them—and I would get one hundred together and try to create this snapshot of Louderbach and where we come from musically. It was really fun to do, but a lot of tedious work warping all of the tracks to make sure they would go together and could be mixed in Ableton. Musically it's all over the place with experimental tracks from William Basinski, then spaced out '70s weirdness from Silver Apples into dark techno from Jake Fairley. But there is a common thread: this murky melancholy that is running through all 35 of the tracks that brought us together and helped us to create Louderbach.

What was the weirdest submission you received for the "Shine" video contest?

TP: There were definitely a few that left us scratching our heads, but the ones I found the strangest were ones that weren't finished. Like no audio and two minutes long, as if we were supposed to fill in the blanks or something.

GM: We got some very unique submissions... I'm proud to say that all of them were amazing and all of them were weird! We wouldn't have it any other way! 

Why did you decide to release the new record on Minus, instead of Underline?

GM: We stopped working with Underline soon after Enemy Love was released, best described as personal difference...

TP: At that point I thought the project was over, I never imagined that Rich would be into releasing a record like this. I am really thankful for his openness.

What are you up to next?

GM: Working hard on the label, Louderbach, music, writing, etc...

TP: Well, I obviously need to get my ass in gear on those remixes! Apart from that, I want to learn how to play an instrument or two. My girlfriend got me a cello for Christmas and I picked up a bass guitar in Los Angeles, so those are on the top of my to-do list. I have been making some really, really slow tracks lately, 80 BPM max. I quite like them actually, so who knows what will happen with them. Do some more projects with my girlfriend, she's amazing... Stay busy and have fun.

Souvenir of an amazing night back in 2007 at the Loft Electroclub in Lausanne.

Fresh off the heels of his highly anticipated double EP ‘Wuzzelbud FF’ - a “stylistic follow-up” to his 2004 debut album ‘Wuzzelbud KK’ - Robag Wruhme has thrown together a wonderfully elaborate mix for the next installment of our In Session series.

Speaking on the mix he's delivered, Wruhme explains: "To me, it's really boring to simply mix one track into the next one because you can't to convey the energy of a specific situation from a club into the living room. Therefore, I put the ladder really high when I do mixes. Ever since the first one back in 2005 for the festival 'Sonne, Mond & Sterne,' I used additional sample fragments and layers. In addition, I only use some parts of a track and not the entire thing. The result is a symbiosis of sounds and moments."
