/in /by

For years the minds behind INCOGNITO, WORK by 6AM, Dirty Epic Productions and Synthetik Minds have been working to forward the underground techno and house music scenes in our home of Los Angeles and beyond.

We have always believed that collaboration unites the creative voices of multiple equal partners who share a common vision and mission to create something that is bigger than the sum of its parts.

It is through years of such collaborative efforts that the four brands now unite their passion and efforts to present COMPOUND 2017 in LA, beginning with our launch event on November 11th, 2017. The lineup hand-picked for COMPOUND’s first outing is one that exudes techno from every pore, calling on the talents of four separate international artists from around the world for a cohesive experience of relentless techno that hopes to be the beginning of a new era for the genre in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. Perc Trax founder and boss Perc will be playing his last U.S. set of 2017 with us, joined by a special Live performance by none other than the enigmatic yet pragmatic Headless Horseman. Joining them are Los Angeles’ very own Modularz boss Developer as well as local support by dela moontribe will be making her techno debut with a set that will draw influences from her long-term passion for the genre.

This will be a special 21+ outdoor day-into-night techno event complete with full production, professional four-point sound system, food trucks, craft beer and more. Needless to say an event of this kind deserves the adequate experience to come with it, which is why we have tapped into the internationally-renowned skills of VJ Fader for visuals.

The lineup is big for this one, featuring the hotly-anticipated Los Angeles debut of Dax J, as well as the return of fellow techno stalwart Cleric.

Dax J appeared on the global radar seemingly overnight, taking the electronic music scene by storm in 2015 with the release of his debut album Shades of Black which was named album of the month by Mixmag. In 2016, Dax J kept the momentum going, releasing a slew of epic dance floor heaters on renowned labels Soma Records, Deeply Rooted, Electric Deluxe, and his own Monnom Black. His talent has earned him nominations as best breakthrough artist by Mixmag, Groove, and DJ Mag, as well as recognition on Resident Advisor’s prestigious top 100. He has since continued to set the standard, doing the honors of closing out ADE, and playing a notorious 10 hour set at Berghain. Dax J has an equally impressive summer scheduled, playing at Dekmantel, EXIT Festival, and pretty much every key club in between.

UK techno powerhouse Cleric has been busy putting forth a continuous succession of noteworthy EPs over the past few years, each one maintaining the same euphoric and hard-driven sound, proving himself over and over again to be relentlessly talented. Earning praise, his creative work has been featured on seminal labels including Clergy, ARTS, and Len Faki’s infamous techno imprint, Figure. Setting the tone for this evening will be Droid resident Dean Paul and Technostate programmer Ciren on b2b duties.
