SUBVERSIVE
Subversive has been a dj and part of Droidbehavior since the late 90s. In those times Techno was hard and acts like Surgeon, Jeff Mills, Adam Beyer and Regis were pumping out epic tracks. The Detroit, Birmingham and Berlin styles of that era all influenced Subversive and it can be heard in his dj sets. In the early stages Subversive mixed on three turntables when he had the opportunity. Fast paced mixing, effects and turntable tricks could typically be heard during his sets. Today, Subversive’s mixing has matured into a well developed sound that attempts to bridge the past with the present. He uses software along with hardware synths and turntables in order to create a more unique sound that reflects the future of what Techno can be. Subversive has had the privilege to mix along side some of his respected contemporaries like DJ Bone, Regis, Todd Sines, Surgeon, John Tejada and Fanon Flowers.
As far as Droidbehavior is concerned, Subversive has been involved with the group since its conception. Having met Acid Circus in college and Drumcell at parties in the 90s, Subversive contributes in any way he can to help Droidbehavior propel to new heights.

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, Adam Jay, 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.
