The Bunker presents

Monolake (Chain Reaction, Imbalance Computer Music | Berlin)
live pa

Monolake will have a new album out on his own Imbalance
Computer Music label this summer. 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.

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.

Tonic

***THE BUNKER***

DOWNSTAIRS:

Clark Warner (M_nus | Detroit)
Pheek (M_nus, Contexterrior | Montreal) live pa
Hearthrob (M_nus, Contexterrior | NYC) live pa

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. 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.

Heartthrob has been making unreleased secret weapons for
many of the best minimal techno DJs in the world. He will
finally be releasing something on wax for the rest of us in
the near future, with a split 12" with Pheek on
Contexterrior and a track on the new M_nus compilation.

Pheek has been making a name for himself with quirky
minimal techno releases on netlabels like Thinner,
Epsilonlabs, and Clever Music. Tonight marks his debut
performance in NYC.

UPSTAIRS MIDNIGHT:

Ashford Breaks (fka The Amber Smith | NYC)
Home (Screw Music Forever | NYC)

Ashford Breaks used to be The Amber Smith, lovely indie pop
yumminess. Their new work "brings to mind everything from
the winsome Anglophilic rock and roll of Big Star to the
willfully arty minimalism of Wire to the twee pop of Orange
Juice." (From their website).

We haven't seen them yet, but we've heard some great tracks
and are excited to get them to The Bunker!
http://www.ashfordbreaks.com/index.html

Home has been a band since 1992, beginning in Tampa,
releasing casette demos and more than a dozen records.
Members have been in dozens of other bands ranging from
country rock, to dub, to indie pop, folk and psychedellia,
and last year Home toured stadium style with Grandaddy and
Super Furry Animals. This is a rare New York appearance.

"Home XIV was designed to shield listeners from a certain
looming Winter with a blazing smile and Quixotic belief in
the constitution of human bonds." (From Screw Music
Forever)
