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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 12"s 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.

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!

Luciano is one of my favorite DJs and producers in the world, and
he pretty much never comes through NYC. alot of people are upset
that this is happening at APT, but they have a new sound system
and are supposedly getting rid of that stupid 2nd bar downstairs
in the near future. this looks like it will be the first of many
cool events that Kevin has planned at APT. highly recommended.

eclectic ecstatic party sounds
Andrew Pekler rose to fame with his Sad Rockets alias, releasing
critically aclaimed albums on Source, Morbid, and Matador. In
2002, he put this successful project to sleep, moved to Berlin,
and began releasing electronic music under his own name for
Pole's ~scape imprint. Somewhere amongst these solo projects, his
band Bergheim 34 has released two albums and a handful of singles
on Klang Elektronik. Obviously, with seven outstanding albums in
as many years, Andrew is very dedicated to his art. Tonight he
performs live in a very rare New York appearance.
