Brooklyn, NY. (Top40 Charts/ BUNKER) - We're still mourning the demise of
Tonic & SubTonic but we're happy to report that the Bunker parties live on. They've followed the exodus to Williamsburg to find a new happy home at Luna Lounge with resident DJs: Spinoza & Derek Plaslaiko. Get down and hunker down in the Bunker!
In this week's edition on Friday, May 11th, Bunker presents AVANT MUTEK. This Mini-Mutek event was hosted on both floors of Tonic two years ago and was arguably one of the best Bunker parties ever. Bunker has been long time supporters of Mutek, and this is an exciting opportunity to give NYC a sneak preview of what this cutting edge festival will have to offer for M MUTEK 8th Edition in Montreal on May 30th to June 3rd. Bunker welcomes Akufen, who has played at Mutek many times and helped put the Montreal electronic music scene on the map. They will also present a live set from Someone Else, who will be making his debut appearance at Mutek this year at Metropolis on Saturday, June 2.
Akufen (Musique Risquee, Mutek, Perlon | 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. In 2005, he released "Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes" (Music for 3 Pregnant Women) on Mutek Records. This critically acclaimed album was aimed more at home listened environments, and really shows his range as a producer. Be on the lookout for a live presentation of this work later this year at the Bunker. Tonight Akufen will treat us to a DJ set. We have hosted pre-Mutek events with Marc for the past two years, and are honored to welcome our Canadian friend back for another round.
Someone Else (Foundsound | Philadelphia) live pa
Someone Else is Philadelphia's Sean O'Neal, co-founder of the Tuning Spork and Fuzzy Box record labels. O'Neal's production skills are garnering respect among internationally renowned djs and labels alike, as reflected by his releases and remixes on Musik Krause, Tuning Spork, Foundsound, Mo's Ferry, Microcosm, Nummer and many others. A stalwart of Philadephia's deep house, minimal techno and experimental communities, O'Neal also co-organized various events, hosting performances by Magda, Matthew Dear, Sammy Dee, Geoff White, Jeff Milligan, Dan Bell, Dinky, and many others. His current occupations focus on running Foundsound and Unfoundsound records. He holds several dj-residencies in Philly and continues to spin and play live all around the country and world, such as Russia, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Spain, England, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia, Canada, and most major American cities. We've hosted Sean at many Beyond Events in the past including many Undercity dj sets, several live sets at the Bunker, and an appearance at last year's New Years Eve party with Wolf + Lamb. He is currently on tour to support his new album, "pen caps and colored pencils", on his own Foundsound imprint, plus a brand new Foundsound single featuring a Josh Wink remix that we've been playing alot at the Bunker. He will be moving to Berlin this summer, so this is your last chance to catch him for a good while.
