Save the date for Operandi 004 on October 1. Exos, one of Iceland’s most experienced techno artists, will be rolling through the City of Angels. Expect some raw rhythms, flashy hi-hats, deep atmospheres, and experimental soundscapes. Joining him on the decks is Los Angeles-based artist Secus and hailing from San Francisco Müzmin.
Techno producer Modus’ new label, Operandi, has recently launched and with it welcomes a delicious dark techno compilation. Born Joshua Garcia, the Los Angeles-native artist and now label head wasn’t always about the synthesizers, hi-hats or drum machines. Coincidentally enough, “Drum Machine Love,” aptly named, is his featured track on the label’s debut compilation. Before going down the electronic rabbit hold, Josh admits he was more into rock, emo and underground hip-hop. However, that all changed at the ripe age of 20 that all changed. After attending his first rave, he knew it was love at first sound. The rest, as they say, is history.
