Without this man , there might not be minimal techno . ! Born in Sacramento California, Dan had a surprise success with his first 12" released on +8 records while still in film school near Toronto, Canada in 1990. The record was "Technarchy" co-produced by Richie Hawtin and John Aquaviva, and it spurred a move by him to the "eastside" of Detroit, Mi after graduation. After touring and recording extensively throughout 1991 and 1992, including a 38-date American tour opening for Moby and The Prodigy, Daniel left +8 to start his own company, Accelerate Communications in 1992. With Accelerate he released a small string of influential releases. Based on nearby Chicago "track" records, he reduced that sound further into funky, streamlined grooves. The formula proved to be successful and helped launch a new aesthetic in techno and house music known as "Minimal". With the overwhelming success of his "Losing Control" single (an international underground hit in 1994), Daniel set up Seventh City Distribution. For the next four years he worked to assist smaller Midwest labels to get distribution in overseas markets. He helped finance the start-ups of several labels including Anthony Shakir's "Frictional" and Dopplereffekt?s "Dataphysix". He also created three new labels - 7th City, which to this day releases cutting-edge techno music, Elevate (with then unknown house producer Theo Parrish) and Harmonie Park (originally with Rich Wade). Daniel also co-owned "Rotate", a record store across the river from Detroit in Windsor Canada for two years. Because of the workload of owning and operating many ventures his music production ceased for a few years. In 2000 he released his first mix c.d. with Tresor Records entitled "The Button Down Mind of Daniel Bell" and in a surprise move relocated to Berlin, Germany. In Berlin he has developed and promoted new talent for his 7th City label and has quietly restarted his recording career with a series of remixes for a diverse range of artists including, John Tejada, Pantytec, Akufen, and Anthony Shakir. In February 2003 he released his second mix cd "The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back" on the Paris-based label Logistic. Klang Elektronik , also dived into his back catalogue . Daniel Bell is credited with creating a new vocabulary in electronic music, composed of acid sounds and streamlined repetitive rhythms, with an approach based on refinement and economy in the use of effects.his original and innovative style has influenced a whole generation of producers and has shaped the minimal house sound .

I have been trully impressed by his output , so much so , that he has been assigned remix duties for one of our forthcoming releases . the remix he has done for us is brilliant ! . Hailing from Seattle USA Bruno Pronsato has released an album and a staggering number of eps over the past year all to glittering acclaim in the press, most notably the celebrated 'Ape Masquerade' on Akufen's Musique Risque labelas well the ep on Philpot . Pronsato's music combines advanced sound design, robust mashed electronics and crisp DSP cutups with toughened crunchy 4/4 beats. His sound takes techno to the outermost regions of weirdness but still gets the dancefloor bumping and grinding. With a rare panache, Pronsato's productions freeze your blood as much as they heat a fire under your ass! In another lifetime, Bruno Pronsato (Seattle producer Steven Ford) drummed for Texas speed-metal/punks Voice Of Reason. But then he had his head split open by My Bloody Valentine, Gang Of Four, Electric Company, death-metal titans like Venom, Slayer, and Napalm Death. My childhood was filled with music, but [Slayers] Haunting the Chapel and Hell Awaits just somehow transported me to some weirder level, Ford recounts. It somehow made it okay to just be as free as possible with music. And from the time I was 14 or 15, it was a steady process of finding out and getting deeper and deeper into people who were, in my opinion, really shaping the future of music. After Voice Of Reason split, there followed a period of musical disenchantment, during which Ford moved to Seattle in 1998. There he commenced making computer-based music. Incorporating the above influences along with inspiration from European atonalists like Anton Webern and Arnold Schoenberg, Ford gravitated toward microsound, taking the name Bobby Karate to chop out intricately designed glitchscapes that unpredictably fizz and crackle like the best output from the Raster-Noton and Mille Plateaux labels. While establishing his rep as Seattles foremost sculptor of powerful, electronic abstractions, Ford dabbled with dance music production under the Bruno Pronsato moniker. What began as a lubricious lark to get the ladies bumpin and grindin became Fords primary obsession. Over the last year, Brunos live sets emerged as fist-pumping demonstrations of heady sound design and hedonism.... ... One of the reasons techno or minimal techno is such a force in my life, Ford says, is because it is music that is working with a predefined set of rules, namely 4/4 time. Much like the 12-tone composers who had to work within their tone rows, techno producers are also working within a set of boundaries. I think it's quite a challenge to come up with something creative within a set of pre-established rules. It makes me think a little harder about what I can do.... Bruno is already receiving props from people like Richie Hawtin , Ricardo Villalobos , Zip , Serafin , Dan Bell , John Tejada , the list goes on .
