Drumcell // Drumcell was born as Moe Espinosa in Los Angeles San Gabriel Valley. Far away from the glamour and glitter of Hollywood he cut his teeth growing up in a vibrant, diverse neighborhood and still draws inspiration from this cultural melting pot. It also remains the area where he and the Raiz brothers Vangelis and Vidal who together founded the Droid Behavior events collective in the early 2000s hang out and regularly plot their widely known and respected Interface warehouse events. 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 L.A. rave scene. He fell in love with this music and immediately dove deeper to find out how it was made. That was when he got in touch with some of the heroic synthesizers of Technos early years. His enthusiasm for those exciting, synthetic sounds was beyond words, and the following years he hardly left the studio of his day job to work on his own productions in a little back room at night. When he handed out his first self-produced, self-pressed vinyls at the Electronic Music Festival in Detroit and some of the DJs played his record the very next day on various stages, he was chuffed and ready to go all the way. Even though he has become one of the most popular Techno artists in the North American scene, you can still hear his Industrial and Noise roots in everything he is doing. His debut album Sleep Complex which will be released in summer 2013 on CLR is characterized by a complete disregard for genre limitations and is everything but a conventional Techno album. Drumcell is a science-fiction-movies-loving technology geek with a Punk Rock soul, who has explored and discovered 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. He is literarily addicted to analog synthesis and spends countless hours in his studio, ceaselessly experimenting and searching for new, mind-expanding sounds. Drumcell has played at numerous prestigious venues worldwide, from Berlins Techno mecca Berghain to the main stage of the Movement festival in Detroit. His label Droid Recordings and his own releases have captured the attention of many of the worlds top Techno jocks. With his new CLR membership and his truly outstanding debut album, Drumcell has come full circle and is ready for a whole new chapter of what he is best at and what matters most to him in life the manifestation of truthful emotions in futuristic sonic concepts. Octave // Octave is a Techno producer from France and the owner of "Silent Steps Records". He grew up within a musical atmosphere and had his first experience with turntables in 2003 and thereafter concentrated more and more on a minimal approach to Techno, and started to produce by himself in early 2007. After his first steps into the techno field with some releases in 2007-2008, he was chosen by Richie Hawtin to take part of the "Sounds From Can Elles" project, and saw one of his track released on M_nus by the end of 2008. Early 2009, he started to develop his own Live and to play in some clubs in Europe - including Tresor - with fantastic reactions to his sets on the dancefloor. Fall 2010, Octave creates his own imprint with the label Silent Steps Records, several collaborations came out from this project already, with many talented artists from the Techno scene all around the globe like Drumcell, Audio Injection, Perc, Kyle Geiger, Ryuji Takeuchi, Luis Flores and many others. Since 2010/2011, Octave has the chance to play a lot of gigs every months around Europe - also in the USA with a tour in April 2012 - and sometimes alongside very good artists like Speedy J, Cell Injection or Perc, including in his own label nights. These days Octave continues to develop and is constantly evolving. His music combines a deep-rooted foundation of Techno underlined by stirring basslines and grooves, glitch moments, and hypnotic background atmospheres. Truncate// Alias of Audio Injection which focuses more on deep, raw techno .. Since being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's, Audio Injection has been hooked. At the early age of 15 he started Djing and playing out at local underground events and raves around the Southern California area. You would find 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 releases on techno labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, & local label Droid Recordings. Yan Cook // Yan was born in Kiev, Ukraine, 1991. At the young age of sixteen he was introduced to electronic music, more specifically Techno and his love for it was instantaneous! In just one year of dabbling around with software synths and teaching himself production he had released his first EP on Beatport. Since then he has worked hard in fine tuning his stone cold, hard Techno sound and establishing his brand. Even though he has worked under a few different aliases as well as other production partners, he finally came to the realization that his musical career is a journey he has to pursue and build on his own. For that reason, in 2011 his global fan base saw the end of the Eigenes Rezept moniker and solely began producing as Yan Cook. Besides his obvious talent for music production, Yan has completed some education in the culinary arts, hence the name Yan Cook! Yan Cooks Techno is definitely a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor and his signature haunting atmospheres and pounding basslines in his tracks definitely leave a lasting impression with his audience. You can be sure to hear a lot more of Yan Cook in the coming years
