About Matrixxman:
Resurgent Techno Atavism ::
In the Cartesian view of identity, the body is a container for our mind, personality and ultimately our soul. But what happens when technology allows us to transcend the limitations of physical reality as we know it? In a post-corporeal life, our bodies may no longer be confined to the rather cumbersome form of a human but instead a vast digital network. Matrixxman happens to be a proponent of this possibility. When he is not preoccupied envisioning the emergence of myriad artificial intelligence entities and endless virtual worlds within worlds, he also enjoys composing music. The essence of which is crafting new interpretations of something straddling the grey area between Detroit/Berlin Techno and Chicago Acid. “Resurgent techno atavism” as he prefers to call it.
With a career spanning a mere two years, he has already amassed a staggering discography of no less than 12 separate EP’s on labels like Dekmantel and Spectral Sound, in addition to his first full length concept album on the illustrious Ghostly International in 2015. His signature rhythm tracks like “Protocol” and “Procedure” have been played by a who’s who of dope underground elite, seeing spins from beasts like Levon Vincent, Jeff Mills, Len Faki, Richie Hawtin, Boddika, D.B.X., Mr. Fingers, Joey Anderson, DJ QU, DVS1, and Huerco S, to name a few. Endeavoring to construct “the most futuristic shit ever”, Matrixxman is a name that will be known for years to come.

About Mike Servito:
MIKE SERVITO
The Bunker New York - Ghostly - Brooklyn\
Mike Servito is from a very special yet temporary and partially lost fertile crescent of techno / house / party DJing. It was a time when raves were still a fresh idea, almost felt like a revolution, and DJs like Claude Young, D Wynn, Derrick Carter and Mike Huckaby were informing an upcoming generation. If you look directly to that inspired generation you will find the lost threads of Detroit Techno, House and beyond, you will find a group of DJs with insanely deep mixing skills, the ability to rock almost any kind of party with an improvisational approach that is so skilled it makes everything seem so well thought out that even they don't know where their set will go. But, it will take you there! In the future, this special generation of deep midwest mixers will be remembered and revered as the wizards they are, long after the trendy players have lost their luster.
Detroit never forgot about Mike Servito, his upfront dirty deep and bitchy taste has had an impact on Detroit nightlife for over a decade. From debuting in 1995 at Dat's Poorboy parties, to being a resident at blackbx and Ghostly's Untitled (along with Derek Plaslaiko, Tadd Mullinix, Matthew Dear, and Ryan Elliott), contributing to the bizarrely popular, wild and free Dorkwave, and progressing that concept into Sass (the hippest queer party in Detroit at the time), to blowing minds at Interdimensional Transmissions' No Way Back parties, Servito has made his impression. Moving to Brooklyn, Detroit's loss has been their gain, as he has found a proper home with a residency at The Bunker.

About 214
Seattle producer Chris Roman is by no means a new face. Roman debuted in 2002, and has since built a substantial discography under the alias 214, releasing on labels like Harbour City Sorrow, Car Crash Set, and Fortified Audio. Originally from Miami, many of the artist's tracks are accordingly laced with tinges of the city's famed Bass sound, but his take on electro is very much his own. His signature has matured into a supple hybrid of dancefloor bounce and dystopian grit, a progression which culminated in his 2012 output, the finest of his career.
As 214, Roman put his name to Fuzzy Leash for Yellow Machines, Plastic Spokes for Fortified Audio, and Submanouvers for Frustrated Funk, and all three of these EPs showed him incorporating a fresh dynamism. Plastic Spokes, for example, took in R&B and deep house elements, and he perfected these infusions on Overseas Highway, his first release as J. Alvarez, for Hypercolour's LTD series. The EP's pop appeal was a refreshing take on electro's robotic rigidity, and declared Roman as not just an adept producer, but one capable of pushing the entire genre in new directions.
