Industry of Machines presents:
Talker LIVE (Downwards || Chicago)
Karl Meier (Downwards || Chicago)
BWO (Vague Output || Baltimore)
R. Gamble (Lost Soul Enterprises || Brooklyn)
Stop talking. Brooklyn is in for a pre-Halloween scare, and it comes via Chicago in the form of Talker, the much-talked about duo who have been hitting hard on Regis' renown Downwards imprint. We don't have much to add except that we agree with the hype surrounding the group and have spent the last few months playing their records into the ground, as well as catching them in Tresor for Berlin Atonal. Good things like this are hard to pull off alone, so we enlisted the help of Baltimore's upcoming Vague Output crew and Lost Soul Enterprises, here represented by BWO and R. Gamble. Techno's more esoteric side will be butchering Bossa Nova Civic Club this night in a long, rampaging haunt of the twisted, sinister back alleys of the genre, ending in sweet exorcism.
Talker is Jonathan Krohn and Karl Meier, who released their meticulously-crafted debut album last year on Downwards to high acclaim. Krohn has a known past as the electronics whiz in the band Male and in his solo project Stave, each of which have album releases; Stave notably dropped on the touted Repitch, one of Berlin's foremost outposts for art-centred techno and electronic music. Meier's past is perhaps more shadowy but has its own lore: a front-running DJ in Chicago's underground circuit for as long as anyone can remember, the gap between his present fame and his former obscurity is largely due to attempting to break unfashionable music - techno - to the famously house-focused Chicago masses. Meier already released a collaboration with Karl O'Connor as Kalon on Sandwell District, one of the early highlights of the already-legendary label. Talker takes in the techno purism of this early effort and bathes it in acid baths of industrial noise and curiously pretty keyboard parts, a formidable combination that has made deep impressions worldwide. We're extremely pleased to have Talker for their second NYC live appearance and probably their last for some time; Karl will follow the duo with one of his searing, searching DJ sets, already the stuff of legends in Chicago.
Vague Output is Baltimore's contribution to the wide continuum of experimentalism and dance music as it exists today in the United States. Together with partners Alex Gardel and Aphreaq, BWO champions VO's vision in Baltimore by organizing afterhours events with established artists like Shifted, Adam X, Entro Senestre, and other upcoming national names, and they have recently risen to local critical acclaim. Behind the decks, BWO challenges the status quo of techno counterintuitively by looking back to its sources. Industry of Machines has had our eye on Vague Output for some time after the Baltimore crew repeatedly booked IofM friends, so we're proud to welcome BWO to New York for the first time and for Vague Output's second overall New York appearance and debut at Bossa Nova Civic Club.
R. Gamble is the creative mastermind behind Lost Soul Enterprises label and events. LSE has been growing in the past months, expanding to pure noise shows in their Etheric events and collaborating with The Long Count on Closed Circuit. Recently celebrating their 3rd anniversary with a blowout party featuring Shit and Shine & Prostitutes, who made his NYC debut for IofM, LSE is reaching into uncharted territory in New York's thriving underground. R. Gamble has been responsible for our well-received artwork for a few months now; on the decks he's one of Brooklyn's most adventurous DJs, moving from hardest, rave-ready techno to subtle shades of house and into blown-out psychedelic electronic sounds with ease, something reflected in the acute curation of Lost Soul Enterprises' parties and label. Back for a second round after a pair of withering sets a few months ago, Gamble is one of the few DJs we trust to set the stage for Chicago's finest.
