FULTON MARKET Admission $7 | Doors: 2pm-until ?? | 21+ Presenters: Meiotic ApSerps M5 Lumen <http://www.lumen-chicago.com/> <http://www.meiotica.com/> == == For over ten years, the Chicago based M5 Non-Profit Arts Collective has explored the intersection of Art, New Media, Performance, and Architecture through the fostering of collaborative dialogue between artists engaged in a wide range of innovative creative production. In this very special Sunday Matinee event benefit for M5, we proudly present the Chicago debut of techno phenomenon Bruno Pronsato at the West Loop's latest venue addition, LUMEN. FIRST EVER CHICAGO APPEARANCE BRUNO PRONSATO *live* FROM BERLIN Orac.Hello?Repeat.Perlon.Telegraph What began as a lubricious lark to get the ladies bumpin¹ and grindin¹ using his BRUNO PRONSATO moniker became Steven Ford¹s primary obsession. A sound scientist whose work is equally playful and rigorous, Pronsato¹s compositions unsettle in original ways, yet they also slyly tickle funnybones. Often both humorous and erotic, his cuts are the wild cards that adventurous DJs pull out when they want to take the dance floor to strange new levels of motion. During the two years following his 1998 move to Seattle, Bruno conducted live dancefloor experiments, the results from which were found in his groundbreaking full-length on Orac, Silver Cities. Since this amazing debut, demand for his music has waxed and Pronsato has accordingly increased his productivity while maintaining his usual exacting quality control standards. Releasing records for such highly regarded labels Hello?Repeat, Orac, Telegraph, Milnor Modern (with Argentinean Franco Cinelli), and Perlon (with Sammy Dee as HALF HAWAII), Pronsato¹s releases have become elite selectors¹ secret weapons of beguilingly baffling quirkiness that still move asses. We proudly present Bruno's first ever Chicago appearance for this very special Sunday showcase. ********** CHARLIE COOPER (of Telefon Tel Aviv) CHICAGO Hefty.Parotic CHARLIE COOPER's work with Josh Eustis as celebrated electronic duo, TELEFON TEL AVIV (on Hefty Records), needs no introduction. We¹re excited to have Charlie back for another Meiotic/ApSerp event, as his wonderfully eclectic DJ sets tend to be raging and fun -- from upbeat electronica to techno/acid to Southern hip-hop/bounce. The last time Charlie played one of our events, he had folks dancing long after the club was trying to close -- finding some of the patrons banging on the DJ booth window due to being so worked up from his selections. Ridiculous. ********** J.PHLIP CHICAGO Moonshine With smart house music tendencies and glitched-out, techy leanings, Jessica Phillippe, better known as J.PHLIP, has been playing constantly throughout the Midwest, along with the occasional west coast outing for the Dirtybird crew. Jessica continues to make her mark on Chicago with her seamless mixing of unlikely yet tasteful tracks, and her special brand of funk-infused dj sets have kept crowds dancing into the wee morning hours at clubs throughout Chicago and beyond. ********** ANTIPHASE CHICAGO NBFC Having an opposite sleep-wake cycle as normal people with day jobs, Andrew adopted ³ANTIPHASE² as his DJ name in February of 2004. With impeccable taste, variety, and unnerving charm, Antiphase's sound revolves around the minimal side of house and techno, Detroit techno, alien electro and old acid tracks. A long time supporter, we're very happy to finally get Andrew on the decks here at Sunday Pollyanna.
