This tour is being planned in association with Indian promoters Regenerate.
Red Bull Music presents 15 Years of Bunker: 17-21 January The Bunker, since it started in 2003, has been a storied night of musical exploration in New York City. The adventurous electronic music line ups which bring together fringe artists who also know how to move a dance floor made the party legendary amongst NYC cognoscenti.
As one of the first American party promoters to focus on playing host to underground, avant garde European electronic musicians and DJs, The Bunker New York eventually became a record label and several years ago began hosting its own showcases at clubs around the world.
At the heart of The Bunker’s success and gradual evolution is founder and creator, Bryan Kasenic, who is also a DJ and Red Bull Radio host. Bryan’s taste runs the gamut of intellectually and artistically provocative sounds, and The Bunker has built its own reputation on the strength of its left-field bookings and dedication to New York’s experimental electronic music scene.
Accompanying Bryan will be The Bunker resident, and one of Detroit and New York’s best kept secrets, Mike Servito. Known for his transcendental closing sets, Mike Servito has slowly but surely caught the fascination of music heads around the world for his blend of deepest house music cuts with the hardest techno.
Antenes or Lori Napoleon is an integral part of the Brooklyn DIY scene, and is a highly-respected DJ, producer and synth artist, and will be part of Red Bull Music Academy Studio Science session in Mumbai on 17 January. She will also put out new music on The Bunker’s label in early 2018.
