Yet another interesting feature from Resident Advisor.
This time we see Adam X talking about three of his favourite tracks and recounting some of his favourite rave day memories. Mmmmmmm techno.
'It's no mystery where Adam Mitchell's steely
techno sound comes from. As a teenager, he spent his days tagging trains
in New York's subway system, a dark and sprawling network of tunnels
that still inspires him today. Things got heavy after a while—by the end
of the '80s he was the most-wanted graffiti artist in the city—but
music offered him a way out. Some 20 years later, he says without
hesitation: "techno saved my life."
A lot's happened in Mitchell's life since then. Throughout the '90s he was a key figure in New York's techno scene, both for his music and his record store, Sonic Groove. In the next decade he moved to Berlin and built a cult following with a mysterious side-project, Traversable Wormhole. These days he lives a relatively quiet life on the outskirts of Berlin, producing, painting and watching the trains go by. Each of the records he picks in this Three Cuts invites us into one of these eras.' - Will Lynch, Resident Advisor.
