With the intent to make very dark industrial techno, with trends that lead into deep techno and psychedelic tendencies. Adriano has been a sound engineer for the past 6 years.

Will Azada has actively DJed in and around Tennessee for a decade, flexing a versatile selection of techno and house. In March 2011, after the prior year’s stint running Knoxville’s infamous Headroom underground parties, Will established Proper Trax, dedicated to seeking out the Southeast’s underground producers for their unconventional approaches toward the timeless traditions of house and techno.
Like Will’s own music, the selections of Proper Trax fuse a range of sometimes unlikely techniques and influences into a coherent narrative of deep, yet floor-oriented cuts. Additionally, Will Azada has held to a steady schedule of wax releases for a number of labels, including Woods N Bass and Mystical Disco with forthcoming EPs for Finale Sessions and Cubera confirmed for fall 2012.

Complicit is an exploration of modern techno and an experiment in musical partnership for contributing members Tanya and Travis Norman. Longtime enthusiastic supporters of Minneapolis talent, the duo was looking for a way to translate that inspiration into a statement of their own. They found it by crafting a production and performance workflow running identical controllers manipulating a single system. The resulting symmetry and real time dynamics, a balancing act of duties divided by frequency range, are allowed to combine in unpredictable ways and evolve along a non-linear timeline, thereby insuring a unique mix at each event.
Early forays into performance have witnessed the duo making good their commitment to manifest a favorite Minneapolis slogan: “Keep Techno Sexy.” Whether contributing to the renowned Black nights at First Avenue or to intimate after hours events, the vibe has been sweaty, sultry, and designed for dancing. Fans who witness the extra level of communication evident in non-verbal cues dictating build up and release of the material realize quickly the strength of connection between the two musicians. Meanwhile, the improvisational aspects of the pair’s presentation translate to a potent in-the-moment awareness – one that spreads easily from performer to listener, enveloping each in a unified soundscape.
