As part of its Slices series of artist video features and interviews, Electronic Beats has shared an extensive interview with prolific German techno stalwart Shed. The 11-plus-minute video finds the producer born Rene Pawlowitz driving around a few small German towns—including his hometown of Schwedt—and discussing his early days as a producer and DJ, the impetus behind his many monikers, and the evolution of his studio set-up (which is apparently now all software based). It all makes for an interesting and rather frank look at the work of Shed, a widely respected artist who still refuses to call himself an innovator or “techno visionary.”
