ANDREW “ANDY” GARCIA
[ Cryovac recordings | Docile Recordings | Detroit Threads Recordings | Archers, Detroit USA ]
Brief bio of an artist: Raised in a small Indiana town devoid of culture, Andrew "Andy" Garcia ran with misfits and fell into the midwest rave scene of the 90’s. Settling for a few years in Indianapolis, it wasn’t long before he relocated to Detroit where the process of putting tracks to vinyl was in one place. After a few years of being a customer of Archer Record Pressing he was given the opportunity to become an employee. For the last 15 years Garcia has crafted his own projects from conception to physical form. He is also privileged, on a daily basis, to service Detroit’s vinyl community at this very well known place. As a DJ Garcia plays the vinyl of his friends, colleagues, idols, co-conspirators, as well as his own. About Docile & Cryovac Recordings: Garcia uses Docile Recordings as a personal platform for his music. It was started in 1997 as a group of people that organized techno music parties, then evolved into a record label dedicated to the easier minimal sound. Docile Recordings moved from Indianapolis to Detroit where it has released 28 records yet. Cryovac Recordings was started in 2007 as a vehicle for collaboration with artists that have inspired and motivated Garcia to move forward his production. Cryovac is a cross section of the Detroit techno community. Garcia has recently 23 releases on this label.
without the past … there’s no phuture … "These alltime top20 faves are tracks that were game changers in my world. Tracks, i believe, breath life into a new direction of techno by sheer force of personality. This list is a reflection of the base for my work. It is in chronological order of discovery.” -----a.garcia
