Did anyone get a chance to go to this?
I have been having a pretty unbearable schedule at
work, so
unfortunately could not make it.
Been so excellent techno shows around here.

talk about what's happening this week at my party,
a 7 hour set from Daniel
Bell!
also perhaps of interest to this list is The
Bunker Podcast project i
started a few months ago, with free downloads of
sets from The Bunker
Archives from Derek Plaslaiko, Kooky Scientist,
Function, Mark Verbos,
Akufen, etc. available now are sets from
Galoppierende Zuversicht (all
hardware live set for all of your laptop haters)
and Kate Simko (really
beautiful live set from this rising Spectral
talent with some nods to
Detroit).

Beyond Booking presents
THE BUNKER
DANIEL BELL (Accelerate, Logistic |
Detroit/Berlin)
7 HOUR SET!!
Daniel Bell is considered to be one of the
pioneers of the
minimal techno genre. Born in Sacramento,
California, Bell grew
up outside of Toronto, and later moved to Detroit
where he
collaborated with Richie Hawtin as Cybersonik for
three years on
Plus 8 records. In 1991, he started his own
label, Accelerate,
where he released a string of extremely
influential releases as
DBX.
Bell was influenced primarily by Chicago House as
well as the
works of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. His
productions are
characterized by minimalist house grooves
accented by blips and
bleeps. Some tracks also feature bizarre voice
effects and eerie
atmospherics such as "Losing Control," which
caused a sensation
when released in 1994.
In the mid to late 90's Bell moved behind the
scenes to create
7th City Distribution which exclusively pressed
and distributed
Robert Hood's M-plant, Dopplereffekt's Dataphysix
and Anthony
Shakir's Frictional record labels, to name a few.
He also
launched Elevate, Harmonie Park and relaunched
7th City Records.
Debut releases on these labels helped kick start
the music
careers of Todd Sines, Rick Wade, Theo Parrish
and Shawn Rudiman
among others.
In 2000, he relocated to Berlin, Germany, and
released his first
dj mix CD, "The Button-Down Mind of Daniel Bell,"
on Tresor
Records to wide critical acclaim. 2003 brought a
follow-up
release on Logistic records, "The Button-Down
Mind Strikes Back,"
and soon after a retrospective cd of older work
was released:
"Blip, Blurp, Bleep: The Music of Daniel Bell".
For the past few years Daniel has kept a heavy dj
schedule that
has brought him all over the world. He is
currently taking some
time to focus on his live set, which will premier
sometime this
year. Tonight is his final US DJ gig for a while,
and he's
treating us to a very special treat, an all night
7 hour set with
no opener or closer.
