Ok folks, the time draws near. I honestly can't tell you how excited
all of us are. Troy Pierce is seriously one of our favorites and mark
our words, he's gonna kill it! His recent US shows (NYC, Detroit,
etc.) have been getting stellar reviews, so don't miss this rare
chance to be blown away by one of the minimal techno world's brightest
rising stars. This is techy, dark, relentlessly grooving dancefloor
music you won't hear anywhere else!
Update: GOOD NEWS!!!
First off we just received word that Troy will indeed be rocking his
FULL "DJ + machines" setup, which includes:
- 2 Technics turntables
- Allen & Heath CTRL-92 mixer (designed by Richie Hawtin)
- Cycloops effects machine
- 1 laptop running Final Scratch
- 1 laptop running Ableton Live
So is this just a "DJ set"? I guess you'll have to find out for yourself!
Also, since our resident Sammy D is sitting this one out with a
seriously sprained ankle, we asked Troy if he'd be willing to do an
extended set. Guess what? He said YES. He'll be throwing down 3
HOURS of German minimal madness! Get there early, cuz by 11pm it's
ON!.
Hold on tight to your minds kids, cuz here we go...

BIOGRAPHY:
After being raised in the cornfields of Indiana and brought up on
quality Midwest house & techno (Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Derrick
Carter, D-Wynn) Troy became a bit jaded by ten years in New York where
the struggling minimal techno scene consisted of a handful of die-hard
fanatics going against the commercial sound of a city that has seen
it's day musically.
After relocating to Berlin in January '04 to focus more on
DJ/production, things quickly began to change. He began contributing
as one third of the Minus "supergroup" RunStopRestore with label mates
Magda and Marc Houle, and within months his first live solo
performance as Slacknoise took place at the Magnet Club in Berlin.
Other notable live performaces followed in Montreal (MUTEK with Magda,
Jeff Samuel, Mathew Herbert) and New York (Minimize to Maximize with
Magda, Mathew Jonson and Richie Hawtin).
In addtion to producing and performing live, Troy is quickly
establishing himself as a much sought after DJ, often playing
alongside labelmates Richie Hawtin, Mathew Dear, Mathew Jonson, Magda,
and others like Zip, Sammy Dee, and Ricardo Villalobos, DJing in
Detroit, New York, London (Egg, The End), Zurich, Vienna, and of
course Berlin.
As one of the first users of Final Scratch, Troy has always looked
outside of the norm to embrace and integrate technology into his sets.
Through the combined use of decks, efxs, Final Scratch, and Ableton
Live, he is able to achieve a set up that blurs the lines between a
live performance and a traditional dj set. We are huge fans of Troy's
innovative sound and are extemely excited to bring him to San
Francisco for the first time ever!
