KCTDC Resident ZSonic has been the man about bidness this past Winter. Check out his new remix about to come out on Kansas Cities own Snatchy Trax… and of course after that check out the new mix set that he posted up today. Pretty afternoon jams for you holidaze…

Polar opposites in the ways of thinking about music. Max Volume is the new collaboration between KansasCityTechno.Com resident Dj’s Todd Howard and Mr. Nuro. When the powers of mild mannered Howard and the extravagance of Mr. Nuro combine Max Volume takes flight. This set is their ode to bass and also there love for the San Fran label Dirtybird and the sounds there of..

Stepping off the dancefloor and into your head, this set is a perfect compliment for the calm after the storm. Mills and Howard met for the first time at last summer’s farewell to Crosstown Station, Errrybody’s House. One thing was apparent; they were both purists in their approach to playing deep music. After several closet jam sessions, a call and response started to develop in the mixes. Playing back to back, track for track, this mix features a chill-out sound that journeys from lush pads to spacey atmospheres.

Kansas City resident swing house technician dropped us a little spring loving in our box *giggity* this past week, so of course we had to share. Jason Kidd has been keeping busy this past winter and going into spring only looks better and better. Currently hosting a monthly event dubbed “Swell” one Saturday a month that has been bringing proper house talent from around the region and also been bringing in a great line-up of local jocks coming in as well.

1. What are your spring / summer plans?
I’ll be at the Riot Room once a month and I really want to bring some new people in. Seems like it’s the same show everywhere you go these days. Other than that, get out on the water as much as possible, BBQ and get outdoors. I love Summer.

2. What producers are doing it for you right now?
Wattie Green. That kid is just on fire right now. Another one I’m really feeling is South of Roosevelt from Chicago.

3. Who were some of your influences when you first started djing?
Living in Dallas it was locals like Robert Taylor and Cle’. Dallas was big on breaks at the time too (1993) and I liked Eric Davenport a lot. But when I heard Derrick Carter for the first time at a club called SOA, it was all over.

4. What was the biggest change you noticed in club / dance culture when you started playing records out again?
Wow. It’s completely different now. The biggest change I think though is the popularity EDM has gained. Another thing is hauling your gear around everywhere. It was so nice to just show up with records and headphones. Makes me feel silly for complaining about how heavy records were.

5. What is your favorite BBQ joint in kc?
Gates, Hands down. But the funny thing is, and I am embarrassed to admit this, I’ve never been to Oklahoma Joes. Everyone swears by that place. But I’m fine with “Hi! May I help you!” .

6. Where do you see the dance music scene in KC going?
I can see it possibly coming full circle back to Techno and House. I mean more of the underground feel and away from so much Dubstep and Moombahtan. I’m honestly not sure though that’ll happen though.

7. What were your thoughts going into this mix?
I tried to think of nothing. I kept pressing myself for a new mix and it just wasn’t working. So I stepped back for a week and just got on and played without thinking too much or planning anything. That always seems to work best for me. That leaves room for a few glitches, but I like that. It lets people know it’s live and not pieced together in some program.

In a very short space of time Giom has become one of the most highly sought after producers, remixers and DJs in the deep house scene. His music is consistently found at the top of download store sales charts and in the sets of DJs from house music’s jetsetting elite to bedroom jocks in every corner of the world.

Giom was born in Niort, France and now lives in London. Discovered by DJ Heather through MySpace in 2006, his initial releases were quickly signed to Amenti Music, Aroma and Kolour Recordings, alongside Heather’s own Blackcherry imprint. He has gone on to work with labels including Om Records, Universal and LCG Music, providing both original music and remixes for artists including Fred Everything, Jay-J and LawnChair Generals. He can also be found recording as one half of Bobby and Klein. In 2010 Giom joined forces with UK label Lost My Dog for a partnership that will see him release a string of EPs and remixes, full length projects and headline LMD events.

As a DJ, Giom is a regular at Fabric, sharing the bill with the likes of DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Fred Everything and JT Donaldson. His energetic sets have led to a hectic tour schedule which means most weekends he can be found headlining in clubs from Australia to the United States and back around mainland Europe.

Away from house music Giom’s talents as a professional drummer are also highly sought after and have seen him tour and record for Zarif, The Nextmen, Odyssey and Kasabian amongst others.

A few weeks ago the KCTDC tribe paid a visit to the boys in Minneapolis. A weekend filled with bass bins, after hours, and getting pregnant as fuck. Aaron Litschke and Matt Veloce invited us to take over their night dubbed BLACK.

After getting home Lil Aaron slipped us this little gem in our inbox *giggity. Needless to say we had to get a few words with him as well.

What are your summer plans?
This summer is looking pretty good for me. I have a good amount of bookings coming up that I am looking forward to, and an EP coming out in early to mid May.

How did you get hooked up with the Bang Tech [Detroit] crew?
I meet Bill Stacy (the founder of Bang Tech) at a show about three years ago and I gave him some tracks I was working on. We started to talk more and more and the next thing I knew I was asked to join the crew. It was, to say the least, a great feeling to be asked to join. Bill and I just put out in EP called Countless in August.

How is the dance music scene in Minneapolis?
The scene in Minneapolis is GREAT! We have a ton of great shows with amazing producers and Dj’s playing on any given weekend. Where also blessed to have a ton of great locals to hold it down on any given night!

What producers are currently tickling your fancy?
I follow a lot of producers. The Droid/Truncate crew always get a lot of play. A.Paul, Sasha Carass, Virgil Enzinger, Submerge 101, Dustin Zahn, DVS1, James Hammer, Adam Beyer, Hyperactive, to name a few.

Are their any side projects are you currently working on?
James Hammer and I just did our first EP that I hope to have out soon, we’ve just started to shop it to a few labels. I’m also hopping to work with Bill Stacy again. My Best friend Jesse Jakob and I are talking about writing some music soon too!

How do you see yourself growing as an artist?
I dont know how I see myself. I would like to think I’m taking some small steps in the right direction. I also dont take music too seriously it’s always been a hobby of mine so no matter what happens I’ll always be having fun!

Do you have any advice for up and coming djs?
I get a good amount of mixes from people and the number one thing that drives me nuts is the lack of PLACEMENT in there mixes. If you dont know what placement is your mixes will never be as tight as they could be… IMO

What were your thoughts going into this mix?
I’ve been sitting on these tracks for a minute now. I had a few beers one day and decided to mix and boom I recored it.. It’s not perfect but I’m really happy with it and wanted to share.
