Since the late 1980s, Anderson Noise, from Minas Gerais, has been a central figure in the
electronic music industry, playing a fundamental role in consolidating the genre in Brazil.
His career has earned him recognition from global icons, such as the legend Carl Cox, and a
prominent position in the specialized press: according to Ilustrada (Folha de S.Paulo),
Anderson Noise was responsible for putting Brazil on the world map of Techno. He is
considered the first DJ outside the Rio-São Paulo axis to achieve great success and
influence generations of DJs since the 1990s. Having performed in more than 33 countries,
he combines refined technique and a unique sensitivity in the construction of memorable
sets, reaffirming his influence on both the national and international scenes.

With over 38 years of career, the artist has an extensive catalog of releases on various
labels and has achieved impressive sales figures. His own label, Noise Music, has
established itself as the first Brazilian Techno label, celebrating its 26th anniversary in April
2025. Throughout his journey, Anderson has received dozens of awards and was elected
the best DJ for two consecutive years by DJ Mag Brazil. Furthermore, he appeared on the
prestigious DJ Mag UK Top 100 list for three consecutive years, reaching the 26th position in
the world in 2008.

His versatility is evidenced by remarkable collaborations with renowned artists such as João
Carlos Martins, Milton Nascimento, Daniela Mercury, Lulu Santos, and the Jakob Bro Trio,
among many others. In addition to his solo career, Noise maintains five distinct projects:
7777, focused on House and Disco Music; 37 37, alongside DJ Mau Mau, bringing together
two icons of the scene; the trio Nie Myer, with Henrique Portugal and Lelo Zaneti (Skank),
fusing electronic music, Jazz, and Bossa Nova; The duo AC 360, with Carla Elektra; and the
B2B with his brother Alvinho L Noise, the Noise Brothers.

A pioneer by nature, Noise revolutionized the Belo Horizonte nightlife scene in the 90s and
2000s alongside Marcelo Marent (in memoriam), holding more than 48 underground
parties in unusual locations. His avant-garde vision also gave rise to Rádio Noise, the first
online electronic music radio station in Brazil, and Bloco Noise Music, the first electronic
music bloco in Minas Gerais, launched during Carnival in 1999.

Endowed with a rare energy and a resilience characteristic of great masters, Anderson
Noise is an artist who transforms challenges into innovation. His life and work, full of
fascinating stories, can be explored in detail in the biography "O Barulho da Lua" (The Noise
of the Moon), written by journalist Claudia Assef

Raised far from the gravitational pull of dance music hubs, Dallas-born Decoder developed his craft outside traditional DJ circuits, shaping a singular voice defined by independence that remains central to his sound today.

First opening Fruity Loops at the age of ten, Decoder's relationship with electronic music began free from expectation or institutional pressure. His early productions were guided as much by video game soundtracks, synth-pop and rhythm as by techno itself, resulting in music that is light and inquisitive.

That playfulness has endured. Over time, his productions have evolved, with a distinctive sci-fi-feeling that's grounded in the techno's founding principles. Drum-led, full-bodied and often carrying a quiet melancholia, his discography draws a clear lineage from Detroit techno's futurist restraint and experimental traditions, all the while still resisting easy categorisation.

Influences range from the microtonal explorations of Aleksi Perälä to the hypnotic patience associated with Perlon-era minimalism and Ricardo Villalobos, all filtered through an instinctive sense of play. Early support from Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills affirmed his commitment to this direction, recognition many artists work years to achieve.

In the DJ booth, Decoder treats performance as a direct extension of the studio. Sets are often built largely from unreleased material, functioning closer to live testing grounds than traditional DJ performances—ideas are trialled, stripped back and reshaped in real time with close attention to the room. After formative experiences at warehouse parties and renegade events across Texas, he began touring internationally while still in his teens, logging sets at the likes of De School, FOLD and Watergate. 2025 marked a significant turning point, with an acclaimed set at Waking Life and his debut at Berghain.
Alongside releasing on established labels, Decoder runs two imprints: Codec, a community-focused platform for collaborative projects, and TOCA, a more purist, physical-only label emphasising longevity and restraint. His forthcoming album Prakasa, released on Planet X, represents several years of studio development and reflects his continued interest in cohesion across time, genre and form.

Now operating internationally, Decoder represents a measured reinvention of techno, one that looks forward without severing ties to the past. Retaining the independence forged in Dallas warehouses and DIY parties, he remains an artist shaped not by trends, but by curiosity, patience and a disciplined belief in the power of simplicity.

Techno is a layered phenomenon. On the surface level is the talk, fleeting and temporary. Beneath it lies an intricate web woven by all manner of creatives and intellectuals. At the center of it all is the sound itself, and it is in this realm of sonic abstraction that you find Max Gardner.  
  
The San Francisco DJ and producer did not initially pursue electronic music with ambitions to promote himself as a brand. Doors opened nonetheless, and they never stopped. He is now one of the artists most closely associated with Bay Area techno, releasing on labels like Sonic Groove, Blank Code, and Northern Parallels.   
  
A pivotal turning point saw Max launch a label called Peer. He set forth to create a techno platform free of superstar ego, prioritizing musical merit over celebrity. Since its launch, Peer has become a respected outlet for forward-thinking underground techno from both established artists and emerging voices. 
  
Max's often psychedelic, sometimes suspenseful, always hypnotic range of the techno spectrum has brought him to audiences across the US and Europe, with performances in New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Medellín, and more. At home, he has held residencies at essential San Francisco venues including F8, 1015 Folsom, Monarch, and the legendary 222 Hyde. 
  
As founder of the influential Direct to Earth collective and a resident throughout its 15+ year history, Max helped establish the foundation for San Francisco's modern techno community long before the genre reached its current prominence in the Bay Area. What began as a niche scene has since grown into a thriving network of artists, promoters, venues, and audiences. 
  
Max Gardner lives for the ephemeral moments in which time stands still, where words fail, as pure and honest audio shakes every reveler to their core. To see him behind the decks is to understand that he belongs here. He knows this world intimately. His place in it is permanent.
