SPECIAL GUEST LOUDER BACH (aka Troy Pierce) 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. Within months the first live performance as Slacknoise under Richie Hawtin's Minus label took place at the Magnet Club in Berlin (with Dinky and Pan Tone). 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 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.
