For the July edition of Don't Techno For An Answer, we're proud to announce that we have a special 2-hour performance by Kyle Geiger of Drumcode Records,

"Named in DJ Mag as the "breakthrough DJ of 2008" by Adam Beyer, the last year has proven to be nothing short of that title for Kyle Geiger. Within the first year of his premier vinyl release, Kyle has achieved international notoriety, a feat that many never accomplish in their entire career as a DJ/producer. Having played literally all over America, the Indiana-based producer is set to storm the international scene. With two European tours under his belt already, including two performances at the widely touted Berghain in Berlin (Voted by ResidentAdvisor.net as the 1 club in the world), rounded off with a stop at the Dance Valley festival in Amsterdam this summer, Kyle is certainly prepared for the big things 2009 is already promising to bring.

Kyle's quick rise in the international dance scene is due to both his production prowess, and his explosive decks and effects DJ sets that bridge the divide between techno and minimal. Kyle is not a producer first, DJ second, but chooses to look at both aspects of DJ and production as a whole; one is not complete without the other.

Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings of late 90's Swedish techno featured on seminal labels like Drumcode and Code Red, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a slower, groove based sound. Still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno while embracing the genre's changes, Kyle has refined his productions and DJ sets into what very well may be a new breed of techno that pushes things forward for the next generation of techno to come.

Initially urged on by long time friends and minimal techno veterans JPLS and Skoozbot, a demo made it to Drumcode label manager Adam Beyer who was on the hunt for what he describes as a "modern techno sound". Beyer immediately put Kyle's tracks to the test at the 2007 Winter Music Conference and invited him onboard as a Drumcode artist. With two highly regarded releases on Adam Beyer's Drumcode label, remixes for Droid Recordings, Renovatio and MB Elektronics, and licensed tracks for the legendary Music Man and Harthouse labels' mix compilations, the future is proving to be a very promising place for Kyle Geiger as he continues to take his widely recognized DJ set around the world and to the next level.

Will Azada (KnoxEDM -- Knoxville, TN)

"Taking a no-compromise approach to his music and sets, Will Azada is the purveyor of all things raw. Not always predictable, but definitely tasteful, he successfully straddles the more soulful and funky world of house, with the mechanized percussive stylings of techno to create a hybrid "tech-house" sound. As a DJ, his sets fuse the classic tracks of the '80s and '90s with contemporary releases, to add a robust, yet nostalgic flavor to every mix. Not a fan of the too-common DJ mentality of "playing only the latest, 'hottest' and unreleased" tracks, Will brings it all to the table at each and every performance.

As a producer, Will Azada, under his "Funnel" moniker, has dedicated himself to perfecting his sound, building a stable of original tracks and unofficial remixes, hoping to one day establish his own label, and give back to the community that has inspired him to stay focused, stay positive, and pump out music."
