3 QUESTIONS to TROY PIERCE:

Q: Going through your mix offers a huge spectrum of electronic music. Tell us about your selection. How did these tracks have an impact on your later doings?

A: I was a bit overwhelmed at first by the concept of this mix actually, there is so much amazing music that I wanted to include. The more I thought about it though it started to make sense to focus on my time in New York, before I started making music and before I moved to Berlin. I move to New York in January 1994 to attend photography school. When I moved there I went alone and didn’t know a single person in the city, seems kind of crazy now thinking about it but at the time it seemed totally rational. By March 94 I bought my first turntables/mixer and started buying a lot of records. NYC at the time had some great record stores and I lived within walking distance to some of the best ones. The music I was discovering from 1994 - 2002 really formed the foundation of my style and I still play most of these tracks on the mix to this day. There are a quite a few tracks that are “pre” 94 that I came across in shops, some gems that I might have heard on a mix tape or remember from some Chicago/Detroit party. “We Are Phuture” and “Heat It Up” where Chicago classics while “Lyot”, “Glob” and “The Groove” where Detroit bombs. I felt it was really important to include those as I didn’t really find them until I was in NYC. While I was selecting tracks for the mix I was having a hard time editing the selection down so I came up with a “test” for each track… “Does it give me chills”? This simple criteria made it really easy to cut my track listing down from more than sixty to the nineteen  I used on the mix. I have listened to the mix a few times since finishing it and I feel like it’s a really accurate window into where I came from musically. There is a common thread of spooky weirdness that still runs through the music I make and play today. Looking back on this track list I feel really lucky to have been able to experience parties in Chicago and Detroit at such an influential moment in electronic music. The music I heard at those parties guided me through the record stores of New York and helped cultivate my sound.  

Q: You´ve been a producer and DJ for decades. How do you still find motivation and inspiration to keep things running?

A: Not to over simplify it but I still think it’s fun making/playing music that people enjoy.  
 
Q: A statement in your biography says: “I like making and playing weird music for weird people”. So which weird Pierce-music can we expect soon and what´s coming up next on Items & Things?

A: I have a few different projects in the works, one of my oldest friends from New York Jaesun Celebre and I have been working on stuff the last year… spooky techno, what a surprise! There are some older tracks from Marc Houle and I that are planned for Items & Things as well as a new collaboration between us. I also have a collection of “Lost Tracks” that I would like to release, music from the last years that never made it out of the studio but I really like so lets see how that goes.
