(313) [nyc] ZIP (PERLON) JAN JELINEK Friday 5/26 at the Bunker
Friday May 26 BEYOND PRESENTS THE BUNKER DEMF MUTEK PRE-PARTY ZIP (Perlon | Berlin) extended DJ set JAN JELINEK (~scape | Berlin) with live band SOLIDS (NYC) David Last's live dub band WOLF + LAMB (NYC) Every year, we make the trek to Detroit for the DEMF and then Montreal for Mutek. This year, we were lucky enough to grab a couple of the more interesting acts for stopovers at the Bunker on their way to the big festivals. http://mutek.ca/ http://demf.com/ Zip (aka Dimbiman) is the owner of Perlon, which has consistently released top notch forward thinking dance music since its first release almost 10 years ago. He's also one half of Pantytec with Sammy Dee. As a DJ, producer, and label head, Zip is one of the most innovative members of the electronic dance music community. He is one of our absolute favorite DJs, and almost never makes it to NYC, so we're thrilled to grab him for an exclusive appearance on his way to both DEMF and Mutek. Jan Jelinek is one of the most well known electronic music producers in the world. He has released three full length albums under his own name on Stephan Betke's ~scape imprint, and seven 12s as Farben on Klang. His deeply creative use of loops and samples instantly set him apart from the sea of glitch-tronica producers when he arrived on the scene in the late-90s. His current live show is a semi-improvised representation of his latest album Kosmischer Pitch performed by a three piece band that includes Andrew Pekler (who recently played a solo set at the Bunker) and Hanno Leichtman. http://www.janjelinek.com/ Solids is David Last's (of the Agriculture, Goosehound, and Unfoundsound fame) new live dub band. They take elements of dub and apply a slightly more aggressive wall of sound treatment, with glitchy laptop sounds, slinky guitars, and a live rhythm section. Wolf + Lamb exploded onto the New York City techno scene with a series of afterparties at their small Williamsburg club for the Bunker in the spring of 2005. These evolved into a series of packed regular all night parties at the Wolf+Lamb space that went well into the next afternoon. The minimal design and comfortable environment they created was an instant hit with everyone in the minimal techno scene. Although they have proven to be very talented party throwers, at heart, they are really just DJs who want to play at great parties. They utilize Ableton Live software to weave gorgeous sets of warm bath techno, fukt up ambient, and heroin house. With a bunch of original studio productions in the works, a new bigger loft space to host parties in Brooklyn, a residency at Love, and a new web label, you will be hearing a lot more about these guys in the near future. http://wolflambmusic.com/ plus resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement, Unjust visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan sound: mm bar: Heather, Aaron door: Olga photos: SDPhotography.net the Bunker both floors of Tonic this week! 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $15, 21+, 10p-4a WARNING: early arrival advised, we're expecting a big turn out for a small venue with no guestlist.

Friday May 19 BEYOND PRESENTS THE BUNKER DANIEL BELL (Accelerate, 7th City, Logistic | Detroit/Berlin) *extended DJ set* Daniel Bell is one of the most important figures in the history of minimal techno. He started out by collaborating with Richie Hawtin as Cybersonik in the early '90s, releasing Technarchy and other classic tracks. Then he produced several records on his own as DBX (including the enourmously successful Losing Control) that more or less defined minimal techno in the early to mid '90s. He then went on to create 7th City Distribution and several new record labels. In 2000, he moved to Berlin, and has released two amazing mix CD's and a few remixes since then. He is currently working on new material and a live set and DJing around the world. His past appearance at the Bunker have been phenomenal, and we're very psyched to have him back. http://daniel-bell.com/ plus resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement, Unjust visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan sound: mm bar: Heather, Aaron door: Olga photos: SDPhotography.net the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 5/26: DEMF PRE-PARTY: Zip (Perlon | Berlin) Jan Jelinek (~scape | Berlin) with live band both floors, $15 6/02: ELECTRO STRIKES BACK: Egg Foo Young (Touchin' Bass, Schematic | NYC) Coin OP (Nu Vorm | NYC) Hosted by Unjust (the Bunker | NYC) 6/16: Gaiser (M_nus | Detroit) live pa 6/23: Andy Vaz (Soundvariation, Background | Dusseldorf) live pa Filastine (Soot, Post World Industries | Seattle) 6/30: M_NUS LABEL SHOWCASE: Marc Houle (M_nus | NYC) live pa Tractile (M_nus | Toronto) live pa 7/07: Jeremy P.

(313) RYAN CROSSON SETH TROXLER in NYC Friday 4/14
Friday April 14 *THE BUNKER* THE NEW DANCE SOUND OF DETROIT: Young Seth aka Seth Troxler (FXHE, Fabric | Detroit) Ryan Crosson aka Berg Nixon (M_nus, Telegraph, Trapez | Detroit) live pa Tonight we're bringing in two of the most exciting next-wave producers from Detroit. Seth Troxler hasn't released very much music yet, but you'll be hearing alot from this prolific 20 year old (!!!) producer in the near future. He has a track on a compilation on Omar S's FXHE label and Matthew Dear included one of his tracks on his new Fabric mix CD. He plays around Detroit often, including a residency at the infamous Untitled party. Tonight is his NYC debut. Ryan Crosson has been making major waves in the minimal techno scene since his releases started appearing in late 2005. His debut EP on Trapez LTD was very well received, and he released two monster EPs on M_nus (as Berg Nixon) and Telegraph in early 2006. Drawing from artists like Plastikman, Matthew Dear, Stewart Walker, and a heavy dose of Magda DJ sets, Ryan focuses his attention on percussive programming, dubby basslines, and dark atmospheres. In addition to many successful gigs in the midwest, Ryan has upcoming dates at huge European clubs such as Watergate in Berlin and The End in London. Like Seth, we feel that Ryan will be turning alot of heads as part of the next wave of Detroit techno. http://www.ryancrosson.com/ plus resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan sound: mm bar: Heather, Aaron door: Kimi the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a SUNDAY 4/16 EASTER LEFTOVERS AT LOVE: Resident DJs: Spinoza, Plaslaiko, Wolf+Lamb Love 4p-12mid 40 West 8th Street (enter on Macdougal) www.leftoversatlove.com $5 before 6pm, $10 after, $5 all night with Marcy Hotel keycard This week only: Drink ticket egg hunt!

(313) NYC: SLEEPARCHIVE Fri | LEFTOVERS Sun
Friday March 17 *THE BUNKER* Sleeparchive (Hardwax | Berlin) Function (Infrastructure, Phono | NYC) Saint Patrick's Day is on a friday this year, and we are going to party in style at the Bunker! Sleeparchive has put out 5 of the best techno 12s we've heard in the past few years, and we are beyond thrilled that he is joining us for a live set at the Bunker. He is a shadowy figure who avoids attention from the press, so not much is known about him. His sound is extremely minimal, bringing together the best elements of legendary techno artists like ø (Sähkö), Rob Hood, Dan Bell, and Plastikman. We've heard some recent live sets online, and they are incredible. Don't miss this very rare opportunity to catch one of the biggest head turners in electronic music at the moment. http://www.sleeparchive.de/ Function (aka Dave Sumner and Portion Reform) has been one of the major players in the NYC techno scene for a very long time. His series of Substance events at Limelight were legendary, including guests like Jeff Mills, Surgeon and many other notables. Now he's doing the Phono series at Avalon (former Limelight) on Saturday nights, bringing proper minimal techno to the weekend big club crowd. He's also thrown some hugely successful afterparties at DEMF the past two years. Aside from throwing great parties, Dave is a very successful recording artist, label owner, and DJ. He recently released Sleeparchive's remix of Regis on his Infrastructure label, which has been a huge Bunker favorite since it's release. Lately he has been using Ableton Live to create DJ/Live hybrid sets full of exclusive remixes and re-edits of heady minimal music. We're psyched to finally have Dave play at the Bunker. plus resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement, Unjust visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan bar: Heather, Aaron door: Kimi the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a SUNDAY 3/19 LEFTOVERS AT LOVE: Resident DJs: Spinoza, Plaslaiko, Wolf+Lamb Love 4p-12mid 40 West 8th Street (enter on Macdougal) www.leftoversatlove.com $5 before 6pm, $10 after, $5 all night with Marcy Hotel keycard UPCOMING: 3/24: F*CK WMC: Rob Hall (Skam | UK) Timeblind (Tigerbeat6, Sound Ink, Soot | Berlin) Romo (Backlash | Dublin) 4/07: WOLF+LAMB LABEL PARTY: Loren Steele (Wolf+Lamb | NYC) live pa Odd Dots (Wolf+Lamb | NYC) live pa Wolf + Lamb 4/14: THE NEW DANCE SOUND OF DETROIT: Young Seth aka Seth Troxler (FXHE, Fabric | Detroit) Ryan Crosson aka Berg Nixon (M_nus, Telegraph, Trapez | Detroit) 4/21: (UN)FOUNDSOUND SHOWCASE: Barem (Unfoundsound, Goosehound | Buenos Aires) live pa Ben Parris (Foundsound | Baltimore) 5/05: GUGGENHEIM FIRST FRIDAYS AFTERPARTY: Egg (Mutek | Montreal) live pa sat 5/06: Wolf+Lamb Beyond Events present Akufen at 12-turns-13 5/12: Kate Simko (Detalles, Traum | Chicago)

He runs the Musique Risquée label with Akufen in Montreal. He toured China and South America with the Mutek organization earlier this year, with some stops in big European clubs in between. Vince has been a full time professional DJ for some time now, and really knows how to light up a dance floor. We saw his studio in Montreal this summer, and he is clearly very busy working on some original music productions. We think you'll be hearing alot more about this guy in the near future. Joining Vince is alka_rex, aka Sascha and Eddie, the Digital Russians of the NYC minimal techno scene. They released a double album on Mille Plateaux side label Supralinear last year, and are set to release a 12 on Musique Risquée in the spring of this year.

(313) Frivolous in NYC Friday 1/13
Friday January 13 *THE BUNKER 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY* Special Guest: Frivolous (Karloff, Background, Proptronix | Montreal) live pa As a school teacher, it seemed easiest to link the unconventional behavior of Daniel Gardner to a learning disability; prooving to be the first in a series of failed attempts to categorize this undefinable young artist. Grades were always mediocre at best for the young suburban Vancouverite, until one semester a mysterious new course emerged into a normally less than progressive curriculum; Electronic Music Composition. Suddenly discovered were honor roll grades, and a means to merge a captive young mind with over a decade of communist-style classical piano training. In 1996, won over by unified dance floors and the Detroit sound, the 16 year old Frivolous engages in a long term love affair with the loop and takes his first weekly residency at a downtown Vancouver afterhours. After two successfully directionless years in electronics and then design, and after dabbling with some white label releases, Daniel decides to put his pride aside and send out a demo. A CD of incomplete works were sent out as an experiment to 5 of the most technologically innovative 12 labels in Germany and received back were 3 requests to release the material. I told Andy [Vaz] that the work wasn't finished, and the day I received his reply was the day that the test pressings arrived for the Crankkongestion EP (Background Records), it's just been a chain reaction since then. Today, after a long evolution in his sound, Daniel's recording alter-ego Frivolous captures a romanticly influenced montage of the most cutting edge production techniques with an old soul mentality. Alongside his still rather bizarre performances, is the incorporation of classic instruments and vocals into an environment built on experiments with glitchy cut-up funk and found sound. We've been told that Frivulous's live set is a very unique not to be missed show, and we're psyched to celebrate our 3 year anniversary with him. plus resident DJs: Spinoza, kleverVice, Movement, Unjust visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPSTAIRS: not an official Bunker show, but our good friends Flaming Fire are playing.

(313) Atomly in NYC Friday 12/30
Friday December 30 Atomly (Atomiq | Chicago) live pa Atomly hails from the great white wilderness of North Dakota and his Viking-like stature reminds you of his hearty root. Moving from Minot to Fargo to Minneapolis to Chicago, the 24 year-old producer spent over a decade soaking up the diverse and rough-edged Midwest party scene. You can hear it in his amazingly diverse live sets, which move from groovy minimal techno to seismic drum'n'bass and full throttle breakcore. A dedicated programming geek, Atomly was one of the first producers to make the move from gear to laptop performances, composing tracks amidst a matrix of ones and zeros. But technique has little to do with the powerful sound that comes from his tiny computer (dwarfed even further by his 6'8 frame). He has appeared across the US as well as having logged several European tours and has performed with cutting edge artists as diverse as Brothomstates (Warp), Venetian Snares (Planet Mu), Sutekh (Force Inc.) and L'usine (Ghostly International). His music and remixes have appeared on his own Atomiq Records as well as releases from domestic drum and bass label Fear and New York avant-electronic imprint, Carpark. plus resident DJs: Movement, Spinoza, kleverVice visual residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 01/06: Elliott Golden (NYC) Blue Spectral Monkey (Touch Samadhi, Interchill | NC) Manimal (Lift9 | NYC) 01/13: BUNKER 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY: Frivolous (Karloff, Background, Proptronix | Montreal) 01/20: Musique Risquée night - Vince Lemieux (Musique Risquée | Montreal) alka_rex (Musique Risquée, Supralinear | NYC) 02/10: Strategy (Orac, Community Library | Portland) 02/11: Wolf+Lamb the Bunker present a Brooklyn Loft Party: Matt John (Perlon, M_nus | Berlin) live pa Shaun Reeves (Detroit/Berlin) Camea (Clink | NYC) Wolf + Lamb (NYC) DJ Spinoza (the Bunker) 03/17: Sleeparchive (Berlin) NEW MIXES ONLINE: Spinoza opening for Dan Bell at Rizumu in Philly - http://funkshun.us/funkshun_html/pages/audio/audio_funkshun_guests.php Spinoza opening Unjust closing for Suburban Knight at the Bunker - http://www.technoradionewyork.com/Music/Exclusive_Dj_Sets.html

Friday December 16 ***THE BUNKER*** M.A.N.D.Y. (Get Physical | Berlin) Oliver Hacke (Traum, Trapez | Dusseldorf) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Jordan Dare (Montreal) M.A.N.D.Y. run the super-hot Get Physical label in Berlin with DJ T and Booka Shade. Thier Body Language mix CD, released on Get Physical earlier this year, has made them some of the most sought after electro-house DJs in the world. They have been a leading force in dance music the past couple years, with records in virtually every DJ's bag. http://physical-music.com/artists/mandy/mandy_bio_e.php Oliver Hacke is a rising star in the international techno community. He released his debut album, Subject Carrior, on Trapez last year to much critical acclaim. His tracks have been included on mixes by Superpitcher, Thomas Brinkmann, Triple R, and Wighnomy Brothers. He has released many incredible 12s on Trapez, including the incredible Der Vampir Von Dusseldorf, one of the most sought after Trapez Limited releases to date. He is a favorite of all of us here at the Bunker, so you hear his tracks grace our dancefloor quite often. Those of you who made it to his DJ set at Wolf+Lamb earlier this year know that he is a formidable DJ with great taste and mixing skills. http://www.traumschallplatten.de/ All three Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre.

and older things, people are a lot more friend than
611 IMHO, I've gotten some great old electro there)
philadelphia jazz/record exchange- i believe this is
on 5 South
AKA Music really great used section of CDs, records, a
good selection over all- Second and Market
To do:
Next Friday is First Friday. This is when all the
galleries in Philly stay open late and most serve free
food, cheap wine, and people brouse the galleries.
This all happens in Olde City, stick around Market to
Race in between 2 to 5th. Check out the Lineage
Gallery on 2nd near Market, they have some great
stuff- they did a Ron English and Sam Flores show and
they just hosted a tour of Dr.Suess original
artwork/sculptures.(you'll find AKA just a few doors
down)
Grab a Philadelphia Weekly and City Paper for
happenings. There's lots of good pubs in philly and
lots of bad, big clubs just like any other city. If
you want to see some great neighborhoods I suggest a
walk between 14th to 23rd around walnut to south- old
and beautiful row homes and narrow, stone streets that
make Philly...well Philly. If you're looking for the
Urban Outfitters-Brooklyn end of things check out
Northern Liberties. It's far from the center of
things, but has some good pubs and places to eat (I
suggest Azure).
To be a scenester stop by The Continental and grab a
Buzz Aldrige (sp) martini- it's made with Tang with
you're on olde city enjoying 1st friday.
To eat...depends on where you are staying, there are
lots of good places to eat around the city, Morimoto
has a Japanese joint with AMAzing sushi, and there's
lots of little places here and there-Email with your
likings and we can get into specifics. Most of the
places everyone tells you to get cheesesteaks- they
arent the really good places to get them...just
tourist traps.
Pharmacia is good, it's all organic farm food and it's
on 3rd and Market- not too mention their barista is
amazingly wonderful (and not just because he's my
boyfriend:)).
Philadephia is a big grid, it's hard to get lost.
Museums your liking? check out the infamous Body Works
show going on at the Franklin Institute. On Sundays
the Philadelphia Art Museum has 'pay as you wish'
until 3 and a pretty amazing collection of Asian and
European art.
Hope this helps...everyone!

Fred released many classic tracks on Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva's Plus 8 imprint, and collaborated with Dan Bell as Spawn on Probe (a Plus 8 offshoot). He is still busy producing and playing out at every techno club that matters. He recently released a great 12 on Sub Static, and has a remix on an upcoming Unlockedgroove release. http://www.telepathica.com/ plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Unjust, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 12/02: Ben Milstein (e.l.m., Touchin' Bass | Portland) Aaron Spectre (Mashit, Moonbunny, Deathsucker | Berlin) 12/16: Oliver Hacke (Traum, Trapez | Dusseldorf) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Jordan Dare (Montreal) 12/23: Jwan Allen (Technoir | Pittsburgh) Feathericci (Santa Fe) 01/06: Elliott Golden (NYC) Blue Spectral Monkey (Orangebrainunlimited | NC)
(313) NYC: Andreas Tilliander Friday | John Tejada Saturday
Friday November 11 ***THE BUNKER*** Andreas Tilliander (Mille Plateaux, Audio.nl, Raster Noton | Stockholm) Prolific Swedish producer Andreas Tilliander revolutionised the click genre with his breakthrough albums 'Cliphop' (Raster.Noton) and 'Ljud' (Mille Plateux), and added to the genre's popularity perhaps more than any other artist. He has recorded several albums under just as many names (Lowfour, Mokira, Rechord and more), worked with some of Europe's most influential electronic music labels, and been awarded for a Swedish Grammy in 2005, after two consecutive nominations. A native of Hassleholm, Andreas now resides in Stockholm, where he runs Repeatle studios, creates his own music, and works as a mastering engineer for several record labels. Last time he was in NYC, he played a very memorable set at the final Undercity party at Halcyon. Tonight, Andreas is bringing a live set that will be aimed squarely at the dancefloor. http://www.repeatle.com/ plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Unjust visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a ...

(313) Suburban Knight in NYC Friday 10/28
Friday October 28 ***THE BUNKER*** James Pennington aka Suburban Knight (Underground Resistance | Detroit) Do we really need to introduce James Pennington to you? He is a true Detroit techno legend with many classic (and we mean CLASSIC!) tracks under his belt. He was part of Inner City's huge techno hits, Big Fun and Good Life. He wrote and produced The Art of Stalking, which is one of the greatest techno tracks ever. James has strict quality control and doesn't release records or DJ out very often, so we are beyond psyched to have him play with us. http://www.submerge.com/bookings/suburbanknight.htm http://www.undergroundresistance.com/ resident DJs: Movement, Spinoza, Unjust visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 11/04: Foundsound 05 Record Release Party - Ben Parris (OnceTwiceSound, FoundSound | Baltimore) Fusiphorm (Foundsound, Plong! | NJ) live pa 11/11: Andreas Tilliander (Kompakt, Force Inc, Raster Noton | Stockholm) 11/18: Geeta Dayal b-day party - Simon Reynolds (NYC) Paul Kennedy (WiLD FLeX, Sci-Fi Soul | NYC) 11/25: Unlockedgroove Label Launch Party - Kooky Scientist (Plus8, Telepathic | Boston) Smartypants vs. Scorchio (Unlockedgroove | Boston) 12/02: Ben Milstein (e.l.m., Touchin' Bass | Portland) 12/09: Sylvie Marks (BPitch Control | Berlin) 12/16: Oliver Hacke (Traum, Trapez | Dusseldorf)

(313) Monolake, Deadbeat, Safety Scissors +++ in NYC Friday 8/26
Friday August 26 ***THE BUNKER*** Monolake (Chain Reaction, Imbalance Computer Music | Berlin) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Safety Scissors (Proptronix, ~scape | San Francisco) DJ Olive (the Agriculture | NYC) Smartypants Local Fields (Unlockedgroove, zer0 g Sounds |Boston) David Last (the Agriculture | NYC) Todd Sines (Planet E, Scale | NYC) Archetype (Black Nation | NYC) end. (Ipecac, Tigerbeat6 | NYC) Tonight will feature a collaborative Atlantic Waves set between Monolake and Deadbeat. Monolake will be on stage in NYC and Deadbeat will be joining us via the internet from Japan. This will be the longest distance Atlantic Waves performance to date. http://monolake.de/atlantic.html Monolake put out a stunning new album on his own Imbalance Computer Music label last year. This album is a return to more dancefloor oriented material, and his new live set reflects this. At Mutek this year, he played an incredible ambient surround sound set of thunderstorm sounds, a stomping dancefloor set at Metropolis on the main night, and gave a workshop on Ableton Live ... festival highlights all. In addition to making some of the best electronic music of the past decade, Monolake has also worked on programming some of the best music software, including Max/MSP and the ubiquitous Ableton Live. http://monolake.de All 3 Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre. As amazing as the albums are, you really have to see the live set to fully appreciate the sound. He had heads spinning and hips shaking at his last subTonic gig. His new album has a subversive poltical edge (something that is sadly absent in most electronic music), and we deeply respect that at the Bunker. http://scape-music.de/ We have been big fans of Safety Scissors since his first releases on San Francisco labels Delay and Cytrax. He is a master of funky glitchy music that is beyond genre catagorization. Tonight he performs a rare live set and will debut some of the material from his upcoming album on ~scape. http://www.proptronix.com/ The Agriculture founder DJ Olive is one of our heroes, someone who we give our deepest respect to. He has been touring the world all year, and is only making a brief stop in NYC, so we were lucky to snag him for this gig. His set will consist of material similar to the sound of his very well received debut solo album Bodega ... deep dubby breaks and backyard jeep beats. Olive is currently working on his 2nd solo album for The Agriculture. http://www.theagriculture.com/C11/artists/djolive.html We saw Todd Sines and Archetype play a smoking bleepy acidic set at an afterparty for the Movement festival in Detroit this year and were blown away. Both of these guys are seriously accomplished producers with many releases under their belts. They've been performing together since their first band debuted in Ohio in the early 90s. http://www.scale.gs/ You know Smartypants and Localfields individually, but together they are a classy, sleek live techno act known as Pantyfields. They just had a superb MP3 release on Philly's UnfoundSound, and have an upcoming 12s on Zero G Sounds and Unlockedgroove. Look out for these guys as the are rising stars in the East Coast minimal scene. http://unlockedgroove.com/ http://localfields.com/ Agriculture newcomer David Last has already caused major waves in the electronic music community with his debut 12 and CD. His sound is kind of like Mouse on Mars inna Jamaican dancehall. He is currently working on some organic minimal techno, with a remix on Francois K's Wave label and an upcoming release on the Unfoundsound net label. http://www.davidlast.net/ end makes our favorite kind of music ... the kind that defies all genre tags. Intelligently incorporating elements of surf rock, breakcore, punk, jazz, and just about everything else ... it's easy to see why people like Mike Patton and Kid606 are falling all over themselves to release end's music. oh yeah, past live sets have incorporated dancing animals and pinatas! http://worldwentdown.com/end/index.html resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualist: Giles Hendrix Both floors of Tonic, upstairs opens at midnight 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $10, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 09/02: Andrew Pekler (~scape, Staubgold | Berlin) 09/09: Steve Barnes (Trapez, MBF | UK) Marcos Cabral (Trapez | NYC) 09/22: special thursday midnight show Thomas Fehlmann (Plug Research, The Orb, Kompakt | Berlin) Apparat (Shitkatapult | Berlin) 09/23: Glitterbug (Sub Static, Areal | Cologne/Jerusalem) 10/21: DJ Ripley (Deathsucker Records | San Francisco) DJ C (Mashit, Beat Research | Boston)
(313) Falko Brocksieper|Sarah Goldfarb|Coordinates in NYC Friday
Friday August 12 ***THE BUNKER*** Falko Brocksieper (Sub_Static, Treibstoff | Berlin) Sarah Goldfarb (Trapez, Traum, Treibstoff | France) Coordinates (Sub_Static | Toronto) Falko Brocksieper is the founder of the highly successful Berlin based (he moved from Cologne last year) Sub_Static and Karloff record labels, which have released a combined 60+ records in the past four years. The sound of Sub_Static is much more melodic and subtle than alot of the minimal techno coming out of Germany. Aside from running the label, Falko is an internationally reknowned producer and DJ, with many fine releases under his belt. http://www.sub-static.de/ Coordinates is Canadian artist Matt Thibideau, who is part of Repair with his twin brother Mark. He has been making electronic music since his early teens. He has releases on Cynosure, Killer, Dumb-Unit, and Sub_Static. He is touring the US with Falko, this is a rare NYC appearance. http://www.repair-lab.com/ Luckily for us, Sarah Goldfarb, who released a stunning 12 on the Trapez Limited label, is also in town on holiday, and will be rounding out this strong lineup. He has a new release on Triebstoff, and an upcoming 12 on Traum, so his star is definitely rising. http://www.traumschallplatten.de/ resident DJs: Spinoza, kleverVice, Unjust visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10p-4a UPCOMING: 08/19: Borne bday party - Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm | NYC) Leisure Muffin (NYC) Borne (NJ) 08/26: Both Floors of Tonic special collaborative Atlantic Waves set: Monolake (Imbalance Computer Music | Berlin) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Safety Scissors (Proptronix, ~scape | San Francisco) DJ Olive (the Agriculture | NYC) Smartypants Local Fields (Unlockedgroove, Zer0G | Boston) David Last (the Agriculture, Unfoundsound | NYC) Todd Sines (Planet E, Peacefrog | NYC) Archetype (Black Nation | NYC) 09/02: Andrew Pekler (~scape, Staubgold | Berlin) 09/09: Steve Barnes (Trapez, MBF | UK) Marcos Cabral (Trapez | NYC) 09/23: Glitterbug (Sub Static, Areal | Cologne/Jerusalem)
(313) Deadbeat, Wolf+Lamb, Broken Window, Sean Smith in NYC Friday
Friday July 29 ***THE BUNKER*** Ableton Live 5 NYC Release Party Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) DJ Brokenwindow (Community Library, Tigerbeat6 | Portland) Wolf + Lamb (NYC) Sean Smith (Socks and Sandals | NYC) All 3 Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre. As amazing as the albums are, you really have to see the live set to fully appreciate the sound. He had heads spinning and hips shaking at his last subTonic gig. His new album has a subversive poltical edge (something that is sadly absent in most electronic music), and we deeply respect that at the Bunker. http://scape-music.de/ DJ Broken Window is a very talented DJ from Portland. He has two Parallel Universe releases on the Tigerbeat6 offshoot Violent Turd. He could be dismissed as just another tired mash-up artist, but that's really overlooking the genius of these CDs. All of his mixes are done live with vinyl, and match up two songs perfectly from start to finsh. He even includes instructions on how each track was created in the liner notes. The results are incredible. His mash-ups include hilarious unlikey pairings like Underground Resistance and Walter Carlos, The Mills Brothers with Pantytec, Simple Minds with Naughty by Nature, and many more tracks showcasing what must be a very massive record collection. Tonight he is throwing down a DJ set and doing some live electronic drumming. http://www.jyrk.com/djbrokenwindow/index.html Wolf + Lamb are gaining much noteriety in the NYC scene by throwing insane afterhours parties for the Bunker that go until Saturday afternoon. They are also great DJs who utilize Ableton Live software to weave gorgeous sets of warm bath techno, fukt up ambient, and heroin house. See their website for some nice downloads. http://wolflambmusic.com/ Sean Smith is one half of the infamous Socks and Sandals duo, who have rocked the Bunker many times. We caught his new solo set at the ImageNode benefit and it was completely out of control. Deep dark crunchy minimal techno aimed squarely at the dancefloor. http://spacetruckingmogul.com/socksandsandals/ resident DJs: Spinoza, kleverVice, Unjust visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 www.klever.org/thebunkernyc $5, 21+, 10:30p-4a UPCOMING: 08/05: Vincent Lemieux (Musique Risquee | Montreal) DJ MightyKat (Montreal) 08/12: Falko Brocksieper (Sub Static, Treibstoff | Cologne) Sarah Goldfarb (Traum, Trapez, Treibstoff | France) Coordinates (Substatic | Toronto) 08/19*: Borne bday party - Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm | NYC) Leisure Muffin (NYC) Borne (NJ) 08/26: Both Floors of Tonic special collaborative Atlantic Waves set: Monolake (Imbalance Computer Music | Berlin) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Safety Scissors (Proptronix, ~scape | San Francisco) DJ Olive (the Agriculture | NYC) Smartypants Local Fields (Unlockedgroove, Zer0G | Boston) David Last (the Agriculture, Unfoundsound | NYC) 09/09: Steve Barnes (Trapez, MBF | UK) Marcos Cabral (Trapez | NYC)
(313) Mark Verbos, Jake Mandell +++ in NYC Friday 7/22
Friday July 22 ***THE BUNKER*** DOWNSTAIRS: As usual, we skipped the Winter Music Conference in Miami this year (it's really not our cup of tea at all). When everybody came back, the word on the street was that a big festival highlight was Mark Verbos's amazing acid house set using all the classic Roland hardware (TR-909, TR-707, TR-808, MC-202, and of course the TB-303). Verbos is a veteran of the early 90's midwest rave scene, where he played many Drop Bass parties, so he knows a thing or two about acid. He never looked back and has been producing great records and playing at huge parties ever since, building up a formidable discography. Check out his website for proof of all this and some nice downloads. Tonight he will be playing his live acid house set. http://www.simple-answer.com/ From New York, Skism started playing to fight the boredom and stagnation that had set in to the scene. Clearly under the influence of XTrax, UR and Hardfloor, they recorded a demo-tape which drew attention to the band and got them to play their first shows. They recorded and released the Crossover and Come To Your Senses EP (on their own RUN-ROC label) which found its way into the record bag of many acid dj's. The band continues to focus on their live set, delivering relentless techno and a positive message with their 909 and 303. http://www.run-roc.com/skism.html Sheldon is a psychedelic ambient master. Deep and dark and beautiful (and sometimes terrifying!). But he's got other tricks in his bag that rumble through rock, techno, dub, and yoga digs. He co-hosted one of the city's longest running experimental parties, Undercity, at Halcyon, with DJ Spinoza. Tonight we celebrate his birthday. http://www.sheldondrake.com/ UPSTAIRS MIDNIGHT: Jake Mandell had much success in the mid to late 90's with his productions that spanned drum'n'bass, idm, techno, ambient, and lots of cool stuff that you cannot put a genre tag on. Lately, he has been busy working on software in Europe, and doesn't get out to play live gigs so much. We're psyched to have him join us at the Bunker. http://www.orange-pink.com/ Jeffers Egan is a video artist who has worked with Jake Mandell extensively. They released the Slither DVD on K20, which De:Bug called the most advanced and brutal trip imaginable in the current field of visuals. He also produced some of the visual elements for the live Plastikman set at Mutek in 2004. http://www.jeffersegan.com/ Charles Cohen has been playing his Buchla Music Easel for 20+ years, and it's safe to say that he has completely mastered the instrument. He can basically make any noise he wants on the fly. He also has an uncanny ability to put all his bloops and bleeps in just the right place in an improv setting. Come see a master at work who truly deserves the deepest respect from all of us. http://www.voicenet.com/~ccohen/ Leisure Muffin, (Michael Hopkins), has been making electronic music since the early 90's and his style cris crosses everything from ambient to electro, hip hop, minimal house, and dub. Textures, layers, and incredible beats follow suit with recordings and performances featuring a careful mix of analog synthesizers, laptop, and live instruments. He prefers to play live and has collaborated extensively with many others in fantastic ways. plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, kleverVice, Unjust visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays subTonic/Tonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 downstairs: $5, 21+, 10p-4a upstairs: $5, 16+, 12mid-2am more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 07/29: Ableton Live 5 Release Party Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) DJ Brokenwindow (Community Library, Tigerbeat6 | Portland) Wolf + Lamb (NYC) Sean Smith (Socks and Sandals | NYC) 08/05: Vincent Lemieux (Musique Risquee | Montreal) DJ MightyKat (Montreal) 08/12: Falko Brocksieper (Sub Static, Treibstoff | Cologne) Sarah Goldfarb (Traum, Trapez, Treibstoff | France) Coordinates (Substatic | Toronto) 08/19: Borne bday party Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm | NYC) Leisure Muffin (NYC) Borne (NJ) 08/26: Both Floors of Tonic Monolake (Imbalance Computer Music | Berlin) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Safety Scissors (Proptronix, ~scape | San Francisco) DJ Olive (the Agriculture | NYC) Smartypants Local Fields (Unlockedgroove, Zer0G | Boston) David Last (the Agriculture, Unfoundsound | NYC) 09/09*: Steve Barnes (Trapez, MBF | UK) Marcos Cabral (Trapez | NYC)

Friday July 8 ***THE BUNKER*** Someone Else (Foundsound | Philadelphia) jamespatrick (Vital Vinyl, Microphono | Minneapolis) Someone Else's Foundsound label is currently the US's best answer to all of the amazing bleepy minimal funk that has been streaming out of Germany for the past few years. His records have gotten heavy play from everyone from Richie Hawtin to John Peel (RIP). He also managed to put out a 12 on Robag Wruhme's Musik Krause label, which is one of the other most interesting techno labels on the planet right now. After a recent successful tour of Europe, he has upcoming releases on five different labels. He's played the Bunker many times, and he ALWAYS ignites the dancefloor. http://www.foundsoundrecords.com/ jamespatrick of Minneapolis comes to us very highly recommended by Someone Else. JP is the kingpin of the microhouse scene in Minneapolis, where he runs a weekly party that's hosted Dan Bell, Magda, Jay Haze, Sutekh, and many others. He also works at the Vital Vinyl shop and runs the Microphono mp3 label.

(313) Derek Plaslaiko plus afterhours Friday in NYC
Friday July 1 ***THE BUNKER*** Derek Plaslaiko (Ghostly | NYC) Derek is one of the best DJs we've heard. Dude never, ever f*cks up a mix, and his excellent track selection always keeps the trainspotters on their toes. Ghostly has this to say: Derek Plaslaiko delves into the realm of dance music in which the head and body are equally active. The records he plays click and whirl inside the brain while the low end keeps the body busy. Mixing lush techno with jackin' house and a healthy dose of Detroit classics, Plaslaiko is known for his creative track selection, seamlessly woven by pin-point mixing skills that rival international DJs like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, and Laurent Garnier (all of whom Plaslaiko has shared deck time with). Tonight Derek joins us for a special 3 hour birthday set. We know it's probably pointless to suggest this to Derek's friends, but perhaps we shouldn't get him TOO wasted before he goes on?!

Friday June 24 ***THE BUNKER*** Dietrich Schoenemann (Hidden Agenda, Prototype 909 | NYC) Paul Birken (Communique, Tonewrecker | Minneapolis) Tony Rohr (Cocoon, Weave, Hidden Agenda | NYC) Troy Pierce (M_nus | Berlin) Ryan Elliott (Spectral | Detroit) Hearthrob (M_nus | NYC) Unjust (Schematic | NYC) plus possible very special suprise guest Dietrich Schoenemann is a central figure in the history of US techno. He was a founding member of Prototype 909, who were one of the most popular acts in the 90's US rave circuit. Since then, he has produced a ton of tracks, some of them international anthems. He also runs two successful labels, Hidden-Agenda and Remains. As if that isn't enough, he's done collaborative projects with Abe Duque, Taylor Deupree, and the Rancho Relaxo Allstars. With good pals Paul Birken and Tony Rohr and a crowd of rowdy NYC friends and fans in the house, the energy is sure to be through the roof for his DJ set. http://www.hidden-agenda.com/ Paul Birken is a midwest techno legend with a mind-boggling discography that spans many labels. He is well known for his live hardware PA's, each one a totally unique slice of banging funky electronic sounds. He is currently running his own label, Tonewrecker, and bringing his live sets to parties around the world. Tonight he is playing live with Tony Rohr. http://www.tonewrecker.com/ Tony Rohr is one of the most interesting producers in hard techno. Movement and Spinoza used to bug out in the Jerz over his earliest tracks on Hidden Agenda in their early days of spinning techno. He continues to push the envelope and has been putting out quality tracks for many years now. Tonight he plays a live set with old pal Paul Birken. http://www.hidden-agenda.com/ Troy Pierce moved from Williamsburg to Berlin around the same time that Richie Hawtin and Magda did. He was very involved in the minimal techno scene while he was here, holding down a residency at Magda's Gel and Weave parties at Openair, and appearing regularly at 59 Canal Street and other afterhours venues. He co-produced the Run Stop Restore EP, released a split EP with Plexus, and has a solo track on the Minimize to Maximise compilation, all on M_nus. Expect lots of rare goodies, as he is very much in the minimal techno loop in Berlin, where hot white labels and mp3's circulate well before we hear them on this side of the Atlantic. http://www.m-nus.com/ Ryan Elliot is the rising star of the Detroit minimal techno scene. He holds down two impressive residencies in Detroit at Untitled and Oslo (which has the best interior design and sound system we have ever seen/heard), and an upcoming gig at Fabric in London. He mixed disc two of the upcoming Spectral Sound Volume 1 compilation, which should kick his DJ career into overdrive. This guy has deep knowledge of all the latest minimal release, and insane mixing skills, so expect to be impressed. http://www.ghostly.com/1.0/artists/elliott/index.shtml Hearthrob has been making unreleased secret weapons for many of the best minimal techno DJs in the world. He has recently released something on wax for the rest of us in the form of an excellent track on the new M_nus compilation. He has really been turning heads in the minimal techno community and had the dancefloor bouncing when he played at Mini-Mutek in May. Tonight we celebrate his birthday, so expect some extra debauchery. http://www.m-nus.com/ We are proud to present Ivee aka Unjust at the Bunker once again.

When everybody came back, the word on the street was that a big festival highlight was Mark Verbos's amazing acid house set using all the classic Roland hardware (TR-909, TR-707, TR-808, MC-202, and of course the TB-303). Verbos is a veteran of the early 90's midwest rave scene, where he played many Drop Bass parties, so he knows a thing or two about acid. He never looked back and has been producing great records and playing at huge parties ever since, building up a formidable discography. Check out his website for proof of all this and some nice downloads. Tonight he will be playing his live acid house set.
(313) Bruchstuecke in NYC this Friday
Friday June 10 ***THE BUNKER*** Galoppierende Zuversicht (Bruchstuecke | Zurich) DJ Fragment (Bruchstuecke | Zurich) Bruchstuecke is a very weird outsider minimal techno label from Switzerland. We have been huge fans of pretty much every release, starting with the first one in 1999. These guys show very little interest in following trends and have been blazing their own path from the start. Luckily for us, some of the Bruchstuecke posse is on the continent to do a gig at Mutek in Montreal and were very keen to come down to NYC to play with us. DJ Fragment is Markus Unterfinger, who runs the label. We've never heard him DJ, but have total faith in anyone with good enough taste to put out so many amazing records. Galoppierende Zuversicht (which means galloping confidence in Swiss) is the live project of Bruchstuecke artists Styro2000 and Bang Goes. Their live set incorporates self built samplers and hardware instead of laptops. They recently released their debut 12 on Bruchstuecke. Ricardo Villalobos is calling them the best live techno act in the world right now ... and they pretty much proved it with their unbelievable set at Mutek this Saturday. They had the unenviable task of following up incredible sets by Monolake, Mathew Jonson, Luciano, and Atom Heart. The two Swiss unknowns tore the roof off, despite a major malfunction of a key piece of equipment that they are working to fix by friday. It is unlikely that these guys will be back in the States anytime soon, if ever. This is their only East Coast gig. You'd be a fool to miss this one. plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc
(313) Sammy Dee in NYC this Friday
Friday May 20 ***THE BUNKER*** Sammy Dee (Pantytec, Perlon | Berlin) Kevin McHugh (Micro Mini | NYC) Sammy is a major part of the Berlin based Perlon label, which is one of the most influential minimal techno/house labels in the world. He is also one half of Pantytec alongside Zip (aka Dimbiman). Lately he's been working on a solo live set and a new Pantytec album. We know he's been in town alot lately, but his girlfriend Grace is leaving NYC for Berlin, and this is her going away party, so Sammy probably wont be around very much in the near future. Kevin McHugh organized the Music in the Anchorage series for Creative Time, bringing in notables such as Dimbiman, Thomas Brinkmann, Porter Ricks, Carl Craig, The Bug, A Guy Called Gerald, and many others for for some of the most memorable parties we've been to in NYC. He later went on to organize the Micro Mini series of events at Filter 14 with guests like Magda, Matthew Dear, and Akufen. After spending some time in Berlin helping Richie Hawtin prepare for his live show at last year's Mutek festival, he is back in NYC. On top of his amazing curatorial skills, he is a fine DJ. Lately he has been using Final Scratch to showcase unreleased tracks from his well connected network. There will be an afterhours party at Wolf + Lamb, and those of you who came to the Mini Mutek afterhours know they do it properly, so prepare for a very late night. http://wolflambmusic.com/ plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at Tonic/subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc Afterhours info: The Bunker Afterhours DJs: Spinoza, Wolf + Lamb, very special guests at Wolf + Lamb 108 Marcy Avenue (btw S.2nd S.3rd) 3a-10a+, free car direx: take Williamburg Bridge (left lane of outer roadway), exit South 5th Street, left onto Havemeyer, right onto South 1st, Right on Marcy Ave train direx: JMZ to Marcy Avenue (1st stop in Brooklyn), walk North 4 blocks on Marcy, go under the BQE overpass, W+L on left side corner of South 3rd Street Upcoming events: 05/27: Microcosm Macrofun 2 Release Party: Miskate (Foundsound, Microcosm) Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm) live pa Ezekiel Honig Morgan Packard (Microcosm) live pa 06/10: Galoppierende Zuversicht (Bruchstuecke | Zurich) DJ Fragment (Bruchstuecke | Zurich) 06/24: Paul Birken (Communique, Tonewrecker | Chicago) Tony Rohr (Cocoon, Weave, Macintosh | NYC) Dietrich Schoenemann (Hidden Agenda, Prototype 909 | NYC)
(313) James Pennington, DJ Dex, Archetype this Friday in NYC
Friday May 13 ***THE BUNKER*** James Pennington aka Suburban Knight (Underground Resistance | Detroit) DJ Dex (Underground Resistance | NYC) Archetype (Black Nation, Ongaku, Theory | Columbus, OH) When we got an email from DJ Dex of Underground Resistance a while back saying that UR wanted to do some shows in New York at the Bunker, we thought it might be someone playing a joke on us. Well, it was no joke, and tonight will be the first of hopefully many UR nights at the Bunker. Do we really need to introduce James Pennington to you? He is a true Detroit techno legend with many classic (and we mean CLASSIC!) tracks under his belt. He was part of Inner City's huge techno hits, Big Fun and Good Life. He wrote and produced The Art of Stalking, which is one of the greatest techno tracks ever. James has strict quality control and doesn't release records or DJ out very often, so we are beyond psyched to have him play with us. DJ Dex is part of the new generation of UR producers and DJs. He has done a ton of work for UR over the past few years: mixing, editing, producing, DJing, web building, accounting, you name it. Dude is frikkin ridiculous behind the decks, and his records have been well received around the world. This is his debut NYC appearance. Archetype has produced everything from drum'n'bass to downtempo to experimental techno. After his last (way too short) set at the Bunker, we were blown away and told him we have no idea what genre any of those records fit into, but they were all amazing, to which he replied that's the point!. right ... duh. Tonight he is busting out a very rare live set! plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at Tonic/subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 05/20: Sammy Dee (Perlon, Pantytec | Berlin) Kevin McHugh (Micro Mini | NYC) 05/27: Microcosm Macrofun 2 Release Party: Miskate (Foundsound, Microcosm) Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm) live pa Ezekiel Honig Morgan Packard (Microcosm) live pa 06/10: Galoppierende Zuversicht (Bruchstuecke | Zurich) DJ Fragment (Bruchstuecke | Zurich)

Mike has the technical and programming skills that only come with many years of DJing (he has been at it for over ten years). He is also an amazing producer, with releases on Force Inc, Logistic, and his own Cynosure imprint. Mike is a key part of the Montreal minimal techno scene, and we are thrilled to have him play tonight. Other members of the Mutek entourage will be in attendance as well (not playing records, just hanging out) ... so come say hello, Canadians are notoriously friendly! DJ Abstract is Alex, who has been our barback and door person for the last month or so. Dude has always been enthusiastic about the music we play, so we had to get his story. Turns out he put out some records on Palette (that's John Tejada's label) that we own and love. His band The Invisibles put a record out on DJ Hell's International Deejay Gigolos label. Oh yeah, he's also one of the most well respected US drum'n'bass producers. He has a huge discography spanning many labels, including many on his own label Pneuma. He's kinda new to town and hasn't really played out much yet. We're expecting good things from his set. We met Jon Santos in the design world. Among many other things, he is known in New York for throwing the insanely popular Average Saturdays at subTonic last year. So now we know him as a great DJ who crosses genres and always gets people on the floor. plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a X Saturday May 7 Mutek and The Bunker present Mini-Mutek NYC Live music: Akufen (Force Inc, Perlon, Mutek | Montreal) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Vincent Lemieux (Musique Risquée | Montreal) Once11 (the Agriculure | Barcelona) Crackhaus (Musique Risquée, Mutek | Montreal) Someone Else (FoundSound, Musik Krause | Philadelphia) Hearthrob (M_nus | NYC) Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm | NYC) Gys (zer0 g | Boston) qpe (the Agriculture | NYC) doily (Broklyn Beats | Brooklyn) Live Visuals: Chris Jordan (The Bunker, V4 | NYC) Giles Hendrix (The Bunker, V4 | NYC) Nadia Duguay Pascal Coté (Les Technocrates | Montreal) Akufen is one of the most well-known micro-house producers in the world. His 2002 debut album My Way on Force Inc caused ripples in the electronic music waters that are still being felt today. Since then, he has remixed everyone from Richie Hawtin to Massive Attack. Akufen incorporates found sounds, random radio static, and other weird noises into his music, giving it an instantly recognizable sound that really stands out from other producers. This is a rare NYC appearance. All 3 Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre. As amazing as the albums are, you really have to see the live set to fully appreciate the sound. He had heads spinning and hips shaking at his last subTonic gig. His new album has a subversive poltical edge (something that is sadly absent in most electronic music), and we deeply respect that at the Bunker. http://techno.ca/deadbeat/ Also appearing will be Crackhaus, which is Deadbeat's other project with fellow Canadian Stephen Beaupre. Their sound will definitely appeal to fans of micro-house superstars like Akufen and the Perlon crew, but they put their own humorous spin on the genre. Vincent Lemieux is Akufen's best friend and partner in the Musique Risquée label. He is a major participant in the Montreal techno scene, and we are excited to see what he brings to the table at this event. Once11 is known for an omnisensorial sensibility that exploits more than one plane of sensorial input. The audio aspect of his work is filled with references to various electronic music styles such as drum 'n' bass, house, dub, dance hall, and 1950s musique concrète. His urban visual narratives incorporate a wide variety of popular sounds to reflect the tensions and chaos of today as malleable
(313) Derek Plaslaiko in NYC Friday
Friday April 22 ***THE BUNKER*** DOWNSTAIRS: Derek Plaslaiko (Ghostly | NYC) Kendra Borowski (Robot Love Songs | NYC) Derek is one of the best DJs we've heard. Dude never, ever f*cks up a mix, and his excellent track selection always keeps the trainspotters on their toes. Ghostly has this to say: Derek Plaslaiko delves into the realm of dance music in which the head and body are equally active. The records he plays click and whirl inside the brain while the low end keeps the body busy. Mixing lush techno with jackin' house and a healthy dose of Detroit classics, Plaslaiko is known for his creative track selection, seamlessly woven by pin-point mixing skills that rival international DJs like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, and Laurent Garnier (all of whom Plaslaiko has shared deck time with). Kendra is one of the residents at Boston's new Future/Retro weekly Friday party. She is known for playing deep minimal tunes that fall into the catagory of either robot love songs or underwear dance party anthems. She's been a friend and a supporter for a long time, and we're thrilled to finally get her behind the decks at the Bunker. She will warm up the room for the insanity that will follow. plus ... resident DJ: Spinoza visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at Tonic/subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 free, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 05/06: DJ Abstract (Pallette, Intl DJ Gigolos | NYC) SAT 5/7: Mini-Mutek NYC Akufen (Force Inc, Perlon, Mutek | Montreal) Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) Vincent Lemieux (Musique Risquee | Montreal) Crackhaus (Musique Risquee, Mutek | Montreal) Someone Else (FoundSound, Musik Krause | Philadelphia) Hearthrob (M_nus | NYC) Socks and Sandals (Love and Cush, Microcosm | NYC) Gys (zer0 g | Boston) qpe (the Agriculture | NYC) doily (Broklyn Beats | Brooklyn) 05/13: Suburban Knight (Underground Resistance | Detroit) DJ Dex (Underground Resistance | NYC) Archetype (Black Nation, Ongaku, Theory | Columbus, OH)
(313) Marc Houle Clark Warner (M_nus) in NYC Friday
Friday April 1 ***THE BUNKER*** Marc Houle (M_nus | Windsor) live Clark Warner (M_nus | Detroit) Marc Houle's first solo release was an amazing double 12 on M_nus that dropped in November and immediately turned heads at the Bunker and throughout the minimal techno community. Marc's Run Stop Restore collective, which includes Magda and Troy Pierce, also released a stunning 12 on M_nus last year. His unique brand of jacking minimalism is influenced as much by Kraftwerk and 80's synthpop as it is by Dan Bell and classic Chicago acid house. Houle's constantly evolving live set stole the show when he opened for Magda at the Canal Room last year, and we expect more of the same tonight. http://www.m-nus.com/ Clark Warner is an old friend of the Bunker. He used to play at our Undercity parties at Halcyon on Sunday afternoons after many Saturday night opening / sideroom gigs with Richie Hawtin in larger venues. Clark has played at DEMF, Sonar, Mutek, and many other prestigous electronic music events. When he's not busy with DJing and other creative projects, he runs Richie Hawtin's M_nus and Plus8 labels. He is one of the best and most interesting chillout DJs we've heard, and we're psyched to have him start us off properly tonight. http://www.m-nus.com/ plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 04/08: zer0g 3 Year Anniversary Party with Smartypants vs Localfields (zer0 g | Boston), Gys (zer0 g | Boston), Scorchio (zer0 g | Boston)

(313) Dan Bell Cabanne Friday in NYC
Friday March 18 ***THE BUNKER*** DOWNSTAIRS Cabanne (Telegraph, Perlon | Paris) Dan Bell (Accelerate, 7th City, Logistic | Berlin) Dan Bell is one of the most important figures in the history of minimal techno. He started out by collaborating with Richie Hawtin as Cybersonik in the early 90's, releasing Technarchy and other classic tracks. In the mid-90's, he produced several records on his own as DBX (including the enourmously successful Losing Control) that more or less defined minimal techno. He then went on to create 7th City Distribution and several new record labels. In 2000, he moved to Berlin, and has released two amazing mix CD's and a few remixes since then. He is currently working on new material and DJing around the world. His last two appearances at the Bunker were phenomenal. Dan really loves subTonic and asked to come back. How could we possibly refuse? http://daniel-bell.com/ Cabanne is a shadowy figure from the French minimal techno scene who we do not know much about. We do know his music, and that's enough for us. He has released some excellent 12s, including collaborations with Dan Bell, Ark, and John Thomas. He was also part of the first Narod Niki experiment, a live collaboration with Dan Bell, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Akufen, Dimbiman and others at the Mutek festival in 2003. This is a very rare North American appearance. plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement visualists: Chris Jordan, Giles Hendrix Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 downstairs: $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 04/01: Marc Houle (M_nus | Windsor) live

Riley has been a pillar of the Cologne electronic music scene for a long time as a DJ, writer, promoter, producer, and label head. He has been DJing for 20+ years, holding down residencies and guest spots at virtually every club in Germany. Most people would be proud to run one successful record label, Riley has FIVE (Traum, Trapez, Trapez Limited, MBF, MBF Limited)! Aside from his many productions, Riley has released three mix CD's on Trapez and one on Kompakt. http://www.traumschallplatten.de/ Joining Riley are label mates Marcos Cabral and Smartypants, both of whom have graced the Bunker decks in the past. Smartypants is going to start things off with a live set of new material. He has consistently proven that he has a great ear by getting dancefloors moving with his DJ sets, so we're sure the live set will be off the hook. Marcos plays fierce minimal techno and can throw down some really mean schaffel tunes. http://www.zer0gsounds.com/ plus ... resident DJs: Spinoza, Movement, kleverVice visualists: Chris Jordan, Andy Graydon Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING: 03/18: Cabanne (Telegraph, Perlon | Paris) Dan Bell (Accelerate, 7th City, Logistic | Berlin)

He is an important part of the Berlin based Perlon label, and one half of Pantytec alongside Zip (aka Dimbiman). After a recent gig in New York, the NY Times gave him a glowing review that you can read here: http://tinyurl.com/3njtq The Technoir Audio crew represent the best of Pittsburgh based techno, with deep classic Detroit influences. Bunker fave Anthony Shake Shakir calls Shawn Rudiman's live set one of the best live PA's i've ever seen. Shawn is one of the few people doing live electronic music without a laptop these days. Tonight they are presenting a four-man set with two DJs and two live electronics performers. http://www.technoiraudio.com/ Plexus is one of our favorite minimal techno DJs. He's played at some of the better loft parties we've been to, usually with M_nus labelmates like Magda, Troy Pierce, and Richie Hawtin (remember when they all lived in Brooklyn?). He recently put out his first 12, a split with Troy Pierce on M_nus ... it's a great spacey minimal groover that has been getting late night play at the Bunker. We're not sure why it took so long to make this happen, but we're glad he's finally joining us at the Bunker. http://m-nus.com/ Unjust recently moved to NYC from Miami, where she threw many great parties.

This album is a return to more dancefloor oriented material, and his new live set will reflect this. We have been huge Monolake fans ever since they (used to be a duo, now solo) were releasing music for the infamous Chain Reaction label.

Friday December 31 ***THE BUNKER*** Special Guests: Todd Osborn (Ghostly, Rephlex, Databass | MI) James T. Cotton aka Dabrye (Spectral, Ghostly, TNT | MI) Tadd Mullinix is a man with many musical guises, making him an ideal Bunker guest. Perhaps most well known as downtempo artist Dabrye, he also produces dirty acid techno as James T. Cotton, and ragga jungle as SK-1. The fact that he does all of this so well is really mind-boggling. Todd Osborn, Tadd's partner in dancefloor crime, is equally as diverse and talented. He makes classic 4-to-the-floor techno as Osborne, booty house as Starski and Clutch, and ragga jungle as Soundmurderer. Like Tadd, he does it all incredibly well. We're flying both of them in from Detroit for exclusive DJ sets of eclectic party music drawn from their many different crates (all of them quite deep).

Wednesday December 22 ***THE BUNKER*** Special Guest: Magda (M_nus | Berlin/Detroit) We are off this friday for the holidays, but one of favorite DJs was available this week, so we decided to throw a special Wednesday night edition of the Bunker. We could go on and on about why we love Magda so much ... the bottom line is that she plays uncompromising sets of abstract minimal music and still moves the dancefloor (believe us, this is no easy feat). We think Flavorpill say it pretty well: Born in Poland, reared in Texas and Detroit, and all grown up in NYC and Berlin, abstract mini-tech demigoddess Magda knows what it's like to simultaneously feel at home yet still displaced at least that's what her sets say. Spinning click tracks with irregular rhythms and asymmetrical melodies, Magda's record selection screams outsider but she pieces all the weird blips and cracks together with a groove so thick that the process takes a back seat to danceability. - flavorpill.net Magda plays a 4 hour set from Final Scratch starting around midnight. plus opening sets from Bunker residents Movement and Spinoza subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (between Rivington and Delancey) (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 10p-4a cheap drinks, no overbearing security, decent sound, wine casks! more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc UPCOMING SHOWS: 12/31: The Bunker NYE Party with Todd Osborn (Ghostly, Rephlex, Databass | MI) James T.

(313) ~scape with Deadbeat, Bus, Crackhaus in NYC Friday
Friday November 19 ***THE BUNKER*** DOWNSTAIRS: ~scape 5 Year Anniversary Tour Deadbeat (~scape | Montreal) - live pa Bus (~scape | Berlin) - live pa Crackhaus (Musique Risquée, Mutek | Montreal) - live pa DJ Meteo (Bus, ~scape | Berlin) Secret Frequency Crew (Schematic | NYC) We are proud to present the NYC stop of the ~scape 5 year anniversary tour. ~scape is Stefan Betke's (aka Pole) record label. There is a $5 cover tonight and we suggest showing up early as capacity is limited and we are expecting a large crowd. Both Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre. As amazing as the albums are, you really have to see the live set to fully appreciate the sound. Also appearing will be Crackhaus, which is Scott's other project with fellow Canadian Stephen Beaupre. Their sound will definitely appeal to fans of micro-house superstars like Akufen and the Perlon crew, but they put their own humorous spin on the genre. Bus is Daniel Meteo and Tom Theil. They have released and album and 2 EP's on ~scape, along with some other material for Meteo's own Meteosound label. They are known for bringing a hip-hop sound to dub, or maybe it's the other way around. Daniel Meteo of Bus is also a very fine DJ, and he will be filling in the gaps along with Eggfooyoung of the Secret Frequency Crew throughout the evening. plus Resident DJs: Spinoza, kleverVice visuals: Giles Hendrix the Bunker Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc

Someone Else even managed to put out a 12 on Robag Wrhume's Musik Krause label, which is all the rage these days.

(313) Egg Socks and Sandal Friday at the Bunker
Friday October 22 ***THE BUNKER*** DOWNSTAIRS: 10/22: Egg (Mutek | Montreal) live pa, Socks and Sandals (NYC) live pa Tonight there will be a $5 cover (sorry, no guestlist) to help cover Egg's travel expenses. Egg are two very nice Canadians who make beautiful elastic dubby minimal techno. We first caught them totally killing it for a huge crowd at an all night Saturday party at the annual Mutek festival earlier this year. The Mutek organization likes them so much that they released their debut album on their record label. Socks and Sandals is Clark ov Saturn and Sean Smith. They are the masters of fake German techno (although they have been known to be serious from time to time). We're pretty sure they are the only live comedy techno act in the world right noe. These guys keep getting better with each performance, and we're thrilled to host them at the Bunker once again. plus Resident DJs: kleverVice, DJ Spinoza visuals: Giles Hendrix, SeeJ Fridays at subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 $5, 21+, 9p-4a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc

(313) zer0 g showcase in NYC friday
Friday July 23 ***THE BUNKER*** UPSTAIRS: Kassette (Record Camp | NYC), Irwin Irwin creates very danceable live electronic music using his electronic drum kit, theremin, electronics, and laptop. He has collaborated with everyone from the Beastie Boys to John Cale to Fred Wesley. His live sets are very improvisational ... much more live than what usually passes as a live electronic music performance. http://www.irwinmusic.com/ Kassette is Dei Lewison and Zach Clayton. They create innovative soulful electronic music with laptop and live vocals. Dei is best known for her work as a vocalist for Metro Area. Zach studied the music of John Cage at Oberlin, and went on to study with Lamonte Young and Elliott Sharp while composing his own music, which was performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. Together they create beautiful music that references many cool things, but is totally unique. http://www.kassettemusic.com/ DOWNSTAIRS: gys (zer0 g Sounds | Boston) live pa Local Fields (zer0 g Sounds | Boston) live pa Smartypants (zer0 g Sounds | Boston) We are thrilled to present a night of deep dubby techno with some of the key artists on the Boston based zer0 g sounds label. gys released the first record on zer0 g, which immediately caught our attention with it's huge dubbed out basslines. He went on to release his debut album on the label last year. Smartypants has torn up the Bunker dancefloor in the past, and tonight should be no exception. In addition to his skills as a minimal techno and microhouse DJ, Smartypants has been producing and playing live. Tonight he will DJ and play live with Local Fields as Pantyfields. http://www.zer0gsounds.com/ plus Resident DJ: Movement, (Spinoza out of town) visuals: SeeJ (Chris Jordan) Fridays at Tonic/subTonic 107 Norfolk Street (212)358-7501 upstairs bands: $5, 16+, 12mid-2am downstairs DJs: free, 21+, 9p-3a more info, upcoming guests, heavy rotation - http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc
(313) DBX in NYC friday
Friday April 30 The Bunker Dan Bell aka DBX (Accelerate/7th City/Logistic | Detroit/Berlin) klipp av (Stockholm, SE / Cambridge, UK), DJ Firehorse (idubnewyork | NYC) Special Note: we finally got our new subwoofer and crossover at subTonic and the sound is drastically better down there! Lucky for us, Dan Bell just so happens to be in NYC this weekend! DBX is one of the most influential minimal techno producers of all time, and an outstanding DJ with his hand firmly on the pulse of the current minimal techno sound (listen to his two amazing mix CDs if you doubt this for a second). Dan is currently based in Berlin and hasn't played in NYC since Spinoza and Magda brought him for a set at Openair in 2002, and he wont be back any time soon. He goes on around 1 and spins until everyone stops dancing (this will be a late night for sure). klipp av perform live audio/visual collaborations. They claim to be more live than most live electronic musicians and video artists. They have this to say: This is not prepared over many months preceding to be played back like a fixed movie, but on the fly, seat of the pants, generative audiovisual breakbeat cutting. This really is cutting edge. Sounds interesting. Firehorse is a very old friend of the Bunker family, adn it's about time he played some records for us. Deep dub and Jamaican inspired dancefloor rockers, mixed in Steve's unique style. plus Resident DJ: Movement (Spinoza will be late as he's spinning early at Volume, kV still recovering in Florida) Visual Residents: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan Fridays at SubTonic Lounge 9p-4a 107 Norfolk Street New York City (212)358-7501 http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc 21+, free
(313) John Tejada in NYC this Friday
FRIDAY OCTOBER 10 The Bunker Special guests: John Tejada (Palette, 7th City | Los Angeles) Sara Walker (Direct Drive, Static | NYC) DJ Ripley (SoFat, HavocSound, Deathsucker Records | NYC) John Tejada is one of the most innovative techno/house producers we've heard, and we're constantly playing his tracks at the Bunker. He's released about 8 albums and countless singles. Highly recommended if you like Dan Bell, Perlon tracks, Magda, Kompakt, designer techno ... or if you just like to jack on the dancefloor. John will be playing a Final Scratch set from about 1:30 until we all want to stop dancing. Behind the decks, Ripley gets music to trick your ass into thinking it's a brain, re-breaking bass and beats from jungle into dub, dancehall, hiphop, and experimental noise. On sunny days, Ripley spins rocksteady. Ripley wants everyone to dance, and she usually succeeds. Ripley spent most of her summer touring Europe, and her bag is surely full of amazing new records. She will be releasing a mix CD on Deathsucker Records soon. Sara Walker is one of the best electro/breaks DJ's in NYC, frequently igniting the dancefloor at Static events with her unique blend of all things dark and funky. This may well be your last chance to see her play a breaks set in NYC for a long time, as she is moving to Europe in early November. The last time Sara played the Bunker, the dancefloor erupted and we had one of our best parties ever. plus - Resident DJs: Movement, kleverVice, Spinoza Resident Visualists: Giles Hendrix, Chris Jordan the Bunker Fridays at SubTonic Lounge 9p-3a 107 Norfolk Street (downstairs) (212)358-7501 http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc free, 21+ eclectic ecstatic party sounds
