Droid has received international notoriety in their releases resulting
in heavy play, charting, licensing and phenomenal support from such

ear of the Media and is often described as the next wave of American
techno.

indulge in the experience, to share in the celebration of seven years
of history, and to pay homage to those who have helped build a movement
toward the future.
INTERFACE 29 - TALENT
ROOM ONE - TECHNO:HOUSE:MINIMAL:ACID
Chris Liebing (Live)
CLR :: Novamute :: Electric Deluxe // Frankfurt

techno DJ. As a 20-year veteran and early adopter of digital mixing
and live song deconstruction, he's toured the world numerous times both
solo and as part of the Collabs Live duo with Speedy J. Liebing's productions

in the playlists of the world's top electronic DJs. Not only an established
artist on many levels, Liebing has also been accredited to bringing
true techno to the Ibiza crowds with his "Meganite" and "Be
at Space" residencies over the last decade. Interface crowds should
expect nothing less then epic sounds from this seasoned professional.
James Patrick vs M. Gervais (Live)
Timefog // MPLS
James Patrick is a longtime crusader
for minimal techno and all kinds of electronic art. Through experimentation,
he pushes the definitions of "forward thinking media" into
new realms. Through both Djing and live performances worldwide, JP has
developed and established his own brand of sleek, deep, and hypnotic
electronic music. He also serves as creative director for the Microphono
(www.microphono.com) and Timefog (www.timefog.net) labels.
For over twelve years DJ/producer/designer
Mike Gervais has blazed an artistic trail ahead of his peers. Through
the avid exploration of modern music technologies, his technique is
constantly evolving. His performances deliver an extraordinary range
of superlative sounds, swarming with bursts of real-time composition,
looping, sampling, and effects. His DJ sets and original compositions
have earned him critical acclaim from international producers and performers,
earning him gigs across the United States and Canada. Mike serves as
creative director for Timefog and has releases on Solar Cathedral Recordings,
Nightlight Music, and Timefog.
Drumcell
Droid Behavior // LA
Founder of Droid Recordings and co-founder
of Droid Behavior, Drumcell has been one of techno's greatest allies
in Southern California in recent times. A graduate of the Musician's
Institute and a long-time performer at parties in Southern California,
Drumcell has been influenced by music from his earliest years. After
being exposed to raves in the early 90s, He grew addicted to the sounds
of industrial, acid house, and many forms of techno. Associating with
the members of Acid Circus to form Droid Behavior as an event production
group and record label was the next logical step to raise awareness
for techno in the city and to help expose local Artists, established
djs, and performers from around the country. When performing, Drumcell
can be seen blurring the lines between a live and a DJ set by utilizing
tools such as FX processors , samplers ,drum machines and other devices
to weave a thick blend of acidic techno and aggressive but funky minimalist
groove to ensure a frenzy amongst his listeners. Over the last 5 years
Drumcell has rocked parties from big to small on a weekly basis in LA
as well as gigs all over the U.S alongside such names as Kenny Larkin,
john Tejada, Tim Xavier, Dan Bell, Ben Sims, Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills,
Speedy J, Ritchie Hawtin, and Mathew Dear. He has also built quite a
production resume with highly acclaimed releases and remixes on such
labels as CLR, Kiddaz FM, Nitelite Music, and his own DROID recordings
imprint. With the state of electronic music in North America leaning
towards stripped down funk rather then progressive fluff these days,
Droid has become the center for LA techno and Drumcell remains steadfast
in his mission of putting this city on the global map.
Acid Circus (Live)
Droid Behavior // LA
In an industry where DJ's no longer dominate
the action with pressed wax, live PAs have taken digital mixing to another
level. No strangers to tweaking and freqing everything within earshot,
Acid Circus have mastered the art of live performance: Dropping original
music, custom remixes, re-edits, and samples from both current and classic
tracks, their unique and aggressive mix of electro, house, and every
strain of techno in between has blurred the lines of dj set and live
act. Their raw precision performances have placed them alongside major
players Magda, Jeff Mills, Konrad Black, John Tejada, Tony Rohr, Richard
Devine, and Italo Boys at undergrounds, festivals, after parties and
club nights all over California, Seattle, Detroit, Chicago, New York,
Miami, and Philadelphia. Their releases have been charted and heavily
played by techno heavyweights Speedy J, Adam Beyer and Richie Hawtin.

daring to put out the Kid606 sound, which has included digital hardcore
in line with Atari Teenage Riot, back-to-basics techno, listening music,
and collaborations with Matmos among others. His 2009 full-length "Shout
