eclectic ecstatic party sounds
Tonight we host an evening of breakcore insanity ... not
for the faint of heart, but very rewarding for those who
can handle some futuristic breaks.
Society Suckers make frantic, precisely arranged
psychedelic pogo trash music. born out of a frustration
with emotionless dance music, 1997's debut "anti-carnivore"
featured their trademark ultrahigh frequency melodies and
precisely arranged hyper breakbeats, becoming a breakcore
standard before the genre had a name. the society suckers'
live shows blend focused turntable skills with emotionally
charged gear tormenting - it's a manic combination of
breakcore opera, rave hooks, pogo anthems and structural
mayhem.
Aaron Spectre makes digital sounds with a distorted soul,
fragile melodies sprinkled with urban grit, grime layered
over dense harmonies. grown in boston, hardened in the nyc
pressure cooker, and engineered in berlin, aaron works in a
number of different styles from ambient to glitchy
electronica to breakcore to ragga jungle. aaron's live sets
reveal his hardcore + punk roots, in aesthetic if not in
sound. refusing to sit motionless behind a laptop, he
tweaks and re-works tracks on the fly with varoius midi
controllers + a fistful of energy and diy enthusiasm.
Heartworm was the other half of Opiate along with Aaron
Spectre when they both lived in NYC. He's been living in
San Francisco for awhile now, but is back in town for a few
shows. Expect super freaked out weirdo noise and deeply
narcotic beats.
Jason BK really shouldn't need any introduction at this
point. He is a founding member of Blackkat, and has thrown
countless incredible large scale parties in NYC. While he
has been known to thrown down eclectic party sets, he is
also the best teKno dj we have ever heard, and tonight
teKno is in order.
Criterion runs one of our favorite record lables, Broklyn
Beats. He will be hosting the night and spinning some
records early and late. We're psyched! His collection is
deep and wide and he isn't afraid to mix it up. It could
be Dancehall, Breakcore, Hip Hop, Punk, and French Rap, or
it could be something else entirely.
Nate of Victoria Lucas fame is an old friend of Spinoza,
they go all the way back to junior high! Now he's in this
great NYC rock band and he set up a show for us with the
amazing lineup you see above. We've honestly never heard
any of these bands live, but we've heard good things and
we're psyched to have them play for us.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 18

Phil Kline's Unsilent Night
Starts at Washington Square Park Arch 6:45pm
www.philkline.com
free, all ages
Essential. One of my favorite NYC events ... totally worth
it even when it's freezing cold outside. Phil Kline
describes this event best:
"Every year since 1992 I've presented Unsilent Night, an
outdoor ambient music piece for an INFINITE number of boom
box tape players. It's like a Christmas carolling party
except that we don't sing, but rather carry boom boxes,
each playing a separate tape which is part of the piece. In
effect, we become a city block long stereo system!"

The Bunker
Special Guest: Magda (M_nus | Berlin/Detroit)
Residents: DJ Spinoza, DJ Movement
subTonic 10p-4a
107 Norfolk Street
http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc
21+, $5
Since we had the opportunity to book on of our favorite DJs
this week, and subTonic is closed for Xmas Eve on friday,
we decided to move the party to Wednesday for one week
only. Magda is truly one of the best techno DJ's at the
moment. She bridges old minimal Detroit bleepiness with
chicago jack trax and a nice dose of the modern Berlin
sound ... plus alot of funky minimal stuff that would
otherwise slip through the cracks. She will be playing a 4
hour set from Final Scratch. Highly Recommended!
