Soul Ipsum returns to NYC after a two year hiatus, following a busy year so far for the solo producer out of Portland, Or. with a solo release and collaborative follow up to the acclaimed Zirconia series. For this 7/7/17 special, they’ve asked local house heavy-weight Person of Interest to headline, with live sets by Yaeji and Mallory and the free wheeling selectors Sweet & Lo (Piñero & DiMaggio) to provide vibe for the evening.

Soul Ipsum told us this is the latest glimpse of their new sound…

Nils Frahm

Nils Frahm had an early introduction to music, learning the piano throughout his childhood. It was through this that Nils began to immerse himself in the styles of classical pianists from previous generations as well as the music of contemporary composers, before forging his own musical path through composition.

Today Nils Frahm continues to work as an accomplished composer, producer and celebrated performer from his Berlin-based studio at the renowned Funkhaus. His unconventional approach to an age-old instrument, played contemplatively and intimately, and on a mesmerising scale through his vast stage shows, has won him many fans around the world. Nils has gained global notoriety for his highly developed sense of control and restraint in his work, as well as a breath-taking level of emotion and personality.

After spending much of 2017 in hibernation in preparation for a busy period ahead, Nils will commence 2018 with his first live performances since 2015, and will embark on the beginning of a long worldwide tour entitled All Melody.

About Make the Road
Make the Road New York (MRNY) builds the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education, and survival services.

Our model integrates multi-issue, multi-generational organizing – on workers’ rights, tenant rights, LGBTQ justice, youth power and policing, public schools and education justice, immigration justice, and climate – with an array of wraparound services that create a space of safety and support for entire families. Our storefront community centers are decorated with murals and made visible with colorful awnings; families pour in to sign up for English-as-a-second-language classes, and stay to enroll their kids in our after-school Youth Power program. They come seeking help fighting an illegal eviction, and stay to fight for better laws protecting tenants.

ABOUT M.A.K.U. SOUNDSYSTEM:
M.A.K.U. Soundsystem, a powerhouse 8-piece band, are innovators of immigrant beat. Born out of the diverse borough of Queens, NY and and incubated in the tiny Colombian owned venue Terraza Cafe, M.A.K.U was able to build their explosive sound and unshakable grooves. Afropop Worldwide praised the “frantic terrain” the band explores. NPR raved about the “driving and gritty energy…this raw-edged, punk-tinged band explodes with the propulsive force of traditional rhythms and urban restlessness.” M.A.K.U put out The Mix (Peace & Rhythm, 2017) their 5th album in January and have already begun writing new and original music for their 6th album.

M.A.K.U’s music derives from their immigrant experience, which is an opportunity to create, to find a voice that speaks loud and proud, to connect past and future. A chance to make history. The party continues…

Brooklyn alternative hip-hop artist billy woods celebrates the release of his new ablum, Known Unknowns.

***

Known Unknowns is billy woods’ new album, a follow-up to 2013’s Blockhead collaboration Dour Candy. Blockhead is still behind the boards here but there are also a couple beats from his longtime collaborator Aesop Rock. But the center of the whirlwind is still woods, who re-emerges from a two-year hiatus after releasing the avant-garde Today, I Wrote Nothing in early 2015. Known Unknowns finds the artist on more melodic ground, but still his esoteric, acerbic self, spinning verses equal parts joy and terror, wry wit and blind rage. There are guest appearances from ELUCID (Armand Hammer), as well as Aesop Rock, Homeboy Sandman, Googie, singer Barrie McLain and DJ Mo Niklz. Since Dour Candy, Blockhead has worked with Aesop, Sandman and MarQ Spekt but Known Unknowns shows that he and woods have developed their own unique chemistry. – Backwoodz Studio

bvdub is Brock Van Wey, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. Devoting his life to the SF rave scene in the late ’80s, he began to DJ and promote his own deep house and ambient events in 1991, rising 10 years before a self-imposed exile to China in 2001 to escape the state of a scene he could no longer accept. He began to produce his own music in 2006, with his overtly emotional and hypnotic sound quickly spreading to Styrax, Millions of Moments, Southern Outpost, and Meanwhile, before a natural and gradual shift to his trademark ambient onslaughts saw him call n5MD, Glacial Movements, AY, Darla, echospace [detroit], Kompakt, and many more home. Now returned to his native Bay Area, he has continued his prolific output, with a string of self-released CD and digital-only releases, a monolithic rework of Vortexual [element seven] for echospace [detroit], and his newest, most wistful, and hypnotic work yet – his return to Glacial Movements, with Epilogues for the End of the Sky, with numerous upcoming projects already in production for late 2017 and well into 2018.

Brock has also released numerous ambient projects under his given name, deep house as Earth House Hold, and drum & bass as East of Oceans. He has released remixes and collaboration tracks on Ghostly, Kompakt, Oktaf, OWSLA, Soma Recordings, Air Textures, A Strangely Isolated Place and many more, and to date his vast catalog contains well over 25 full-length albums, over a dozen singles, and more than fifteen guest appearances and remixes. He has been featured in interviews and in-depth pieces in Resident Advisor, A Strangely Isolated Place, Headphone Commute, Organic, Spectrum Culture, Kana Broadcasting, and more.

Fairly reclusive in his performance schedule to-date, he chose to perform only one to two times a year, and has performed at festivals such as Decibel (US), Up to Date (PL), Salon Ambientu (PL), Ambientfestival (DE), Off-Tone (JP), Sub Strata (US), Festival Spectaculare (CZ), Music Infinity (CZ), Fields (RU), and individual shows in the US, Poland, Russia, Japan, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and more, performing with artists such as Rafael Anton Irisarri, Bruno Sanfilippo, Marsen Jules, Fennesz, Robert Henke, Matthias Grassow, and port-royal, along with a host of solo shows. As his ever-prolific output continues to grow, it would seem his quest to test the emotional limits of electronic music is only just beginning…
