[redcommibastard]

Droid Behavior is a movement in electronic music founded by Drumcell and Acid Circus that pushes techno's diversity on many fronts. Through constant events, independent press, a record label, and strong word of mouth reputation, Droid Behaivior has become one of the main groups pushing forward-thinking music and ideas throughout LA's underground since 2002.

Originally starting as a mailing list dedicated to education, information and entertainment, Droid has become an essential resource for local like-minded promoters and music enthusiasts and the center or LA's techno movement.

Self produced one off events and collaborations have brought the likes of Frankie Vega, Matt Nee, Traxx, Hyperactive, Tim Xavier, apendics.shuffle, DJ Bone, Kenny Larkin, Dan Bell, John Tejada, Todd sines, Matthew Dear, DJ Esp, Richard Devine, Daedelus, Otto Von Schirach, Basek, Dietrich Schonemann, Tony Rohr, Mike Dearborn, Fanon Flowers, Archetype, Mark Verbos, M.A.N.D.Y., Ellen Alien, Speedy J, Adam Beyer, Surgeon, Neil Landstrumm, and a host of others to the fore-front of LA's nightlife.

The intense vibe set at these parties combined with the unique use of audio and visual technology has proved potential for the music to thrive and expand in this city. despite LA's Hollywood reputation of glamor and glitz, the no bullshit crowds are serious about music and come dressed to sweat. This grass roots movement has caught the attention of similar groups across the country and has placed Droid Behavior in a network of DJ's, producers, promoters, artists, writers and creative minds through out the west coast, east coast and mid-west all dedicated to pushing techno music.

The need to express the musical visions of la's untapped creativity spawned the Droid recordings label. Headed by Drumcell, the label explores the many faces of techno while covering all dance floor possibilities, from deep, dark, driving sound scapes to the high-tech funk of Chicago and Detroit-influenced minimalism.

Both creative and diverse, to date Droid recordings has released quality music by Fabrik nos, Drumcell, Acid Circus, David F, Adam Jay, Jason Emsley, Stryke, and Apendics Shuffle. The label continues to push music from new artists as well as seasoned track masters while striving to maintain a high caliber in productions. In a saturated music scene, the Droid record label prefers quality over quantity. Look forward to more noise from this side of the coast. Droid recordings is currently distributed by Complete USA

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 acid house, techno, in its many forms, and industrial.

It was not long before he was copping turntables to satisfy his vinyl fetish. By the early age of 14 he was playing in various local bands, and through out the rest of his teenage years, cut his teeth-producing hip hop records, dub and various forms of electronic music on Los Angeles based underground labels. By combining his Production, DJing and networking skills and focusing in on his more mature musical tastes he soon established himself as one of the major players in LA's growing techno scene.

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.

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, Mathew Dear, etc. and has also released quite a few heavy trax on labels omniscient, remains, heavy Industries, and his own DROID recordings imprint.

Drumcell has been known to keep on the edge of technology and continuously pushing the limits to what the future has to offer.He is always in the process of developing homebrew software as well as cutting edge hardware solution to bring a fresh innovative taste to his production and performances. 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 .

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.
