Magda // Minus, Berlin
Currently residingin Berlin, a relative stone’s throw from her hometownof Zywiec in Poland, Magdaseems to have found a city thatmirrors her own attitude to life - no restrictionsandcer-tainly no compromise. It’s a philosophy that also flowsthrough her musicproductions and her DJ sets and has madeher a vital artist on the Minus roster.Her ability toguide the audience through the dark recesses of contemporaryminimalismbefore delivering them back safely into thelight means her name is never far fromthe lips of discerningclubbers and fellow DJs alike.
Mike Servito // Blackbx/Burnlab, Detroit
A Detroitlocal favorite for years, Servito has finally madethe move to Brooklyn. As a DJ,he is best known for thevariety in his sets and his impeccable musical knowledge,traitsthat have steadily earned him the respect of hispeers. As he grew up Detroit, hewas influenced by localradio at an early age, and began DJing over a decade agoduringthe heyday of the rising De-troit electronic musicscene. Servito has played inNYC many times including theBunker, this past August, as well as at the originalGel & Weaveseries, back in 2002.
Igal Nassima // LESS, NYC
Originally fromIstanbul, Igal moved to NYC to pursue his passionfor dance music. The growing minimaltechno movement inNew York City proved to be a proper home for his glitchy,offcenter style of Djing. Influenced by the concrete ofthe city, the rawness of Brooklyn’sstreets, and his passionfor techno, he created loft.n.space, a late-late-nightafter-hoursparty series hosted with fellow NYC transplantand DJ, Vadim. He has played alongsidethe talented DJsand producers such as Ryan Elliot, Ryan Crossan, HakanLibdo, TimXavier and Nick AC. Igal currently holds courtat NYC’s latest addition to the undergroundminimal technoscene with a residency and curatorial seat at LESS.
RJ Valeo // Moodgadget, NYC
Valeo, bornin New York, is a seasoned producer and performer,perhaps best know for his seminalalbum “September” onthe UK’s Type Records. Recently, in contrast to previous releases,he has been focusing his meticulous beat programmingand production skills on craftingsubtle and heady techno.His latest explorations journey through the subtle interplayofrhythm & bass and minimally placed melodic elements,leading the listener tofind solace in the negative spacesinbetween these juxtaposed of his productions.As all ofhis music has been, these pro-ductions are influenced bythe minimalismof microsound, glitch and idm, industrialand new wave, and by technology itself.
