Tadeo Exclusive Minimaland Interview

Tadeo  is one of the techno kings in Madrid. His career has been influenced by various branches of electronic music, especially by Detroit techno and Christian Vogel, Neil Landstrum, Plastikman and Jeff Mills productions. In his first stage, he created together with Dj Slick the collective Domestic Techno, carrying out parties in several basements of their city. Throughout time he has tested almost every single style inside electronic and dance music. After a large period of techno investigation and development, Tadeo runs his actual art collective Javha (www.javha.com) oriented to all kinds of art expressions, and Cyclical Tracks, a conceptual techno-dub label. In this second stage, he purifies his technique and studies with care the connection with the audience, trying to make this connection the principal resource of his sets.
Currently he is working with labels like Apnea Records, Cmyk Music and his  own Cyclical Tracks. He has also collaborated with great reworks in Bpitch Control, Boxer Recordings and Mikrowave, between others. His tracks are normally played by the best Djs in the world and, at this point, Tadeo is a sure value as a  producer in the scene. He is highly supported here by us and our readers and for that reason we wanted to know more about this producer and he kindly gave us this an interview where he talks a bit about everything concerning to his life:
