For the tenth episode of 400 Floor we talk to Matthew Arkel and Aaron David Ross, aka Gatekeeper. Birthed by two college students in Chicago at the beginning of the bloghouse era, they quickly found success with their early Italo inspired productions and over-the-top stage sets, eventually winding up associating with the now legendary label Hippos in Tanks, which released their epoch defining Exo. They recently came back together to play their first live shows in almost a decade at the end of June.

They play their first show in 15 years on June 16th, headlining the Oblivion Access festival in Austin, TX.

Surgeon & Regis Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

The inaugural episode of 400 Floor features Anthony Child and Karl O’Connor, respectively known by their individual monikers Surgeon and Regis. In the early ‘90s they took the blueprint of Detroit techno and melded it with their British industrial and post-punk influences to create a harder edge sound that became the foundation for all European techno to follow. In this interview we dig deep into their history together: from growing up in the Midlands and their introduction to the community that facilitated their friendship to the formation of Karl’s label Downwards and Tony’s early success in the nascent European techno scene of the 1990s.
