Name: Mohamed Espinosa   Location: Los Angeles, USA

Founder of Droid Recordings and co-founder of Droid Behavior, Drumcell has been one of techno's greatest allies in Southern California in recent times. With similar visions to our own - finding, developing and publishing raw and untapped musical talent - it's no surprise that Droid and Heavy Industries struck a nice relationship from the beginning.

A graduate of the Musician's Institute and a long-time performer at parties in Southern California, Drumcell has been influenced by music from his earliest years. After being exposed to indoor and outdoor raves in the 90s, he grew addicted to the sounds of acid, industrial, techno and gabber and quickly got some decks to satisfy his new vinyl fetish. Soon after he had set up a live PA and established himself in Los Angeles as one of the major players in the small, yet loyal, techno scene, becoming known for an extremely dark and uncompromising sound.

Forming Droid was the logical step to raise awareness for the new LA techno scene and expose local artists as well as more well-known DJs and PAs from around the country. After four full years of promotion, parties and plane trips, Droid has become the hub for LA techno and Drumcell remains steadfast in his mission of putting this city on the map.
