drumcell
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 mid 90s, he grew addicted to the sounds of acid, industrial, techno, and hardcore. It was not long before he was copping turntables to satisfy his vinyl fetish. By age 16 he was also cutting his teeth producing hip hop, dub and various forms of electronic music. 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 the music in the city and help expose local artists as well as established djs and performers from around the country.
Over the last 4 years Drumcell has rocked parties from big to small on a weekly basis in LA (with occasional spots in Chicago Detroit and New York) alongside such names as Kenny Larkin, DJ Bone, Tim Xavier, Dan Bell, Ben Sims, Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills, Speedy J, etc and has also released quite a few heavy trax on labels omniscient, remains, heavy industries, 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.
