For location please send RSVP to [email protected]
Returning to the underground for the first time in 2016, BlkMarket Membership
reconvenes with two longtime allies for a night of high-profile fun and friends
reunited. After a rousing success on the Kompakt boat party last summer, we’re
overjoyed to welcome back label head Michael Mayer in a larger setting to show off
his unparalleled talents. Mayer is primarily known as the public face of Kompakt
and for his globetrotting DJ presence and expansive production catalog,
indispensible in forging the identity of the label. He is undoubtedly an ambassador
for the Kompakt sound, an especially important role as many of his label-mates have
remained closer to the studio than the stage. Kompakt has supported many stars
over the years – Gui Boratto, The Field, John Tejada, the Orb, Superpitcher, and
others come immediately to mind – but in his legacy, Mayer forms the central core.
Of the many talents who have graced BlkMarket Membership, Robag Wruhme’s
presence has been amongst the most frequent and the most loved. We’ll never forget
the demented 12-hour set he and Monkey Maffia played on the eve of their breakup
as the Wighnomy Brothers, and ever since Gabor has been a regular guest, bringing
his unique, deep, emotional, and party-rocking sound to New York for BlkMarket
Membership and delivering the goods every time. With DJ Koze’s Pampa records,
Robag Wruhme has found his ideal outlet for his searching, idiosyncratic sound, and,
after 3 years of silence he returned with ‘Cybekks’, as characteristic a slice of his
signature deep dancefloor damage as can be found and a powerful reminder that his
legacy continues to grow. Robag has released on Kompakt and has a long history
with Mayer, but the duo have never played together in NYC, and joined by residents
Taimur & Fahad we expect a night of partnership and surprises when this duo
finally meet on one stage in New York.
