Interview with Talla2XLC and Robert Burian

How’s it going fellas?
T: Very good indeed. I had a hectic start to 2009.
RB: I am fine too, thanks! Busy, but, as always, busy means good!
So, Talla, what prompted this new production partnership?

T: I met Robert, when I played in Bratislava, Slovakia last year. We had a chat backstage, and quickly recognised a musical connection.

A few weeks later I signed two tracks from him "Doom" and ‘Cobra‘ for Tetsuo.


I emailed him a few times about working together, he liked the idea and the rest is future-history!

Robert, we’ve started seeing you name popping up. What’s driven that?

RB: Well, its hard to explain really, because a lot of things have happened so randomly. A fair amount of it probably has to do with pure ‘application‘!

In 2008 I was in the studio every single week of the year! I love doing music and my name is coming up because the sound, I think, is something new.

What are the first tracks coming to fruition from the pair of you then?

T: The first co-op was 2XLC’s new track Dante´s Peak. Robert and I did a harsh, pumping electro-progger and Jerome Isma-ae did the remix.

A really great job he did too – Armin‘s played it three time in a row at ASOT!

Our next steps are an uplifting trance project named T`N`R (standing, as you can probably guess, for Talla and Robert).

The debut is called ‘Sound of the Crowd‘ and then it’ll be the follow-up 2XLC single, ‘Pulse‘

Generally-speaking, what sub-style of trance do you think best sums up your output?

T: I like to mix up plenty of genre types! I like music ‘both ways‘, low tempo 128-132 groovy electroish floorburners or uplifting 136 - 139 big-room anthems.

Minds wide open mate!

We want to surprise the people.
With our collective creative brains together, nothing can really stop us!

RB: I can’t say there is a sub-style which is the best for us. It depends on many things. So if we feel we want to make a tune for a big room then we will do it. If we feel something different then we will create something else you know.

But wait! There’s a name for our output: Nu-Trance!

OK! So artist album or compilation… Which one are you going to do first!?

T: First we will do several projects throughout the year and then decide for which one of them we´ll do bigger releases than singles.
