eclectic ecstatic party sounds
We've tried at length to describe Terrestrial Tones to our
friends. It's not an easy task. Something of a creepy
parade of burlesque musicalia with the underwater travels
of a submarine 20,000 leagues under the sea. Deep almost
unrecognizable vocals are hidden in layers of sub-bass
warbles. Likewise there are nods to the diverse almost
pop-twitch of Dat Politics and the polyrhythmic patterns of
the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction projects. Seeing them live
blew our minds - a sort of compressed history of electronic
music, improvised and structured. Powerful.
Queens is Scott Mou's solo project. When he's not
performing as Queens, he works at Other Music, performs as
Jane with one of the Animal Collective guys and as 14K with
Hisham (ex-Black Dice), and is also one hell of a minimal
techno DJ. Queens is quiet electro-acoustic drones done
very well.
Mouthus just keep getting better. Two artists. Many cables.
A noisey, experimental, psychik, loud, sometimes droney
passionate bridge of extremes. Attempts have been made to
compare them to the Dead C. Maybe. We'd like to think they
are forging new directions in sound, fearlessly.
"Mouthus pummel you into submission with blasts of ferocity
so intense, you'll find yourself on the floor crying for
mommy until you pass out and wake up the next day in a
glassy-eyed haze..." (From Tinymixtapes.com)
Holy Spirit was once Jesus With Me, in part. They play
long, long, loud, loud, "songs" (maybe two, maybe three)
with vocals, bass, drums, guitar, and a deep knowledge of
world psychedlia. Imagine a well-rehearsed jam session with
the people who stock the psych and garage sections at Kim's
*and* have nearly all the (great) records in original print
at home *and* publish records from Mouthus, Terrestrial
Tones, the Space is No Place (Noise Underground)
Compilation, Sightings, Axolotl, and more ... They may have
to end this project and start a new one soon because they
are getting too good.
There is a separate cover for the 10pm and midnight
shows,
but if you stick around, we will not charge you twice.
We have yet to hear Derek Plaslaiko spin a proper set in
NYC, but what we've heard has been amazing, so we invited
him to play a nice long set at the Bunker. Ghostly.com 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). A lifelong music
obsessive, Plaslaiko began DJing in 1995, becoming a
regular on Detroit's weekend rave circuit. He was a virtual
resident at the city's legendary Syst3m Poorboy and Analog
parties, as well as the weekly resident at Motor-Detroit's
Tuesday night throw-down, Family. Derek was invited by Carl
Craig to play the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music
Festival in 2000. Trained in the masterful arts of Motown
DJing,
Derek Plaslaiko is heading up yet another wave of Detroit
talent poised to rejuvenate dancefloors across the globe."

Ulysses is one of our favorite dance DJs, and we're always
thrilled when he stops by the Bunker. He has an
encyclopedic knowledge of dance music, and what must be an
enormous record collection. He is also a great producer,
with a bunch of tracks out in the past couple years on
Teknotika, Plastic City, Tuning Spork Records, Memory Boy,
Lasergun, and (his own imprint) Scatalogics.
