Resident Advisor 156: Seth Troxler


Young Seth lays down some smooth summer grooves on this week's RA podcast.

The small city of Kalamazoo may lie directly in between Chicago and Detroit, but it doesn't really have much of a house and techno heritage. Seth Troxler, however, has been doing his best to change that—ever since he moved to the 313 during his high school years, showing a keen interest in all aspects of house and techno culture and steadily working on his own productions. Omar-S was the first person to give Troxler a break when he put the delicately low slung "Moment" onto FXHE's Compulation #1, and he hasn't looked back since. Appearances on Beretta Music, Esperanza and Spectral Sound followed, but his tipping point came at last year's WMC where the murky atmospheric house of "Love Never Sleeps" was pretty much unavoidable.

His clinically produced tracks might suggest that Seth is quite a serious guy, but he's keen to express his sense of humour in everything from his track titles ("Crosson Likes Poo," "Love Spray") to his dress sense (he's been known to crack out cowboy boots and short shorts once in a while). At this point, Seth had already been living in Berlin for a year, forging links with labels like Items & Things and Wagon Repair, and making the most of the city's cheap rent and non-stop party scene.

It's not just his productions that are turning heads however: Troxler's catalog of online mixes is legion, and stellar. Which is why we ask that you forget all that, as this week's RA podcast sees him craft a laid back selection of sunkissed disco, rock, folk and funk, with quite a few pleasant surprises.
