Summary: CLR Podcast 279 – Raíz It is Monday the 30th of June 2014 and today we have Vangelis and Vidal Vargas pka Raíz back on the CLR Podcast, two well-known producers and label owners from Los Angeles who have performed worldwide from North America to Europe to Japan. Through their connection with Drumcell they developed the label, production group and music collective Droid Behavior, which has become one of the most important institutions for Techno in the United States. Aside from curating forward thinking events such as Interface, Raíz have released affective music on labels including Electric Deluxe, Historia Y Violencia, Droid Recordings and their own label VRV. As performers, Raíz fully harness the capabilities of technology to create a thick blend of Detroit-influenced Techno and hard, gritty House. Years of production experience inform their Live PA / Digital DJ hybrid approach, as they layer each track’s core essentials and live improvisation to craft sets into a unique and narrative arch. Their releases follow suit, drawing from their musical training and diverse influences, to shape elegant and deep tracks. The present set was recorded on the third day of the Detroit Movement Festival at the Underground Stage. Raíz have just released two EPs in June and have a European tour lined up in October.
