“We grew up with the anti-hero, right? The ’90s was about the anti-hero. It was about being a slacker and being a bit whatever, right?” Troxler suggests. “That was the vibe. You didn’t want to be the cool, to be the cool person was uncool, right? The jock, all that stuff. It was like, that wasn’t cool, when I grew up. I don’t know if it was cool. And it’s cool, whatever, everybody be what you want to be, right? But I just never found those images or that kind of idea to be so cool. So then I was like, ‘Wow, there’s actually a space for music and people for that to represent.’”

He continues: “And it represents me and so many people I know so well. I wanted to open that space again because I think so much of what we do is about culturally retelling tales that inspired us for new generation. I think this place that we are, or I am from being from, there’s the originators, Jeff Mills, all these people, we grew up, all these people who invented techno or dance music, right? We’re very lucky to be around these people.”
