A potluck BBQ to say farewell to one of the longest running experimental
electronic music events in NYC history.
Details:
Music - The Undercity resinauts will be joined by some excellent, world
class, live electronic acts. The music will be what you'd expect from an
Undercity party: ambient, downtempo, dub, minimal techno, dancehall,
electro, spacey breaks, eclectic exerimental absurdities, and indescribable
audio treats (all mixed together to form something we like to call "esoteric
audio goo").

Andreas Tilliander is an electronic musician most well known for being an
early innovator in the "click-hop" movement. He has released music on the
famous Mille Plateaux label under his own name and as Mokira. Hardly a
musician to be definied by one genre, Tilliander has produced a
mind-boggling amount of music on many labels under countless aliases. More

Steve Stoll is a legendary techno producer with releases on Mute, Probe,
DJax, Delirium, Synewave and his own Proper NYC label. Tonight, Steve will
be playing a special dubby ambient laptop set (this is the first time he
will play this material in NYC).
Christopher Willits is a musician, multimedia artist and sound engineer
located in San Francisco. His musical focus is characterized by guitar and
computer software processing and improvisation that generates a unique
surface of melody and rhythm. More info at www.christopherwillits.com
Visuals - Phil Davidson and Chris Jordan will be providing visual magic.
Food - rain or shine, we are having a potluck BBQ on the back patio from 4pm
until the food runs out. if you bring enough food to share, you get in for
free. bring a large serving of your favorite summer BBQ food, or something
to throw on the grill (please do not show up with a bag of potato chips or
something lame like that and expect to get in free). homemade food
encouraged! please come early and hang out all day. we will be providing
burgers and dogs while they last. there is a supermarket on Smith Street
between the subway stop and Halcyon where you can stock up on grillables
until 8pm.
Alcohol - halcyon will have several kegs of beer. $3 per pint.
you cannot bring your own alcohol, sorry.
Soundsystem - Halcyon has one of the best soundsystems in NYC. they
are moving out of their current location the week after this party, so we
are going all out and turning the soundsystem way up ... you will feel the
bass resonate in your chest cavity. all of the furniture is being moved out
of Halcyon to make room for a dancefloor. this is the last party at
Halcyon, so we're not too worried about upsetting the neighbors.
History - Undercity has been happening every Sunday at Halcyon for over 4
years. We started in January of 2000, just a few months after Halcyon opened
it's doors at 227 Smith Street. We have hosted over 200 guest DJs and live
acts, most of which are listed at
http://www.sheldondrake.com/Undercity.html. Halcyon is temporarily shutting
it's doors while they search for a new location, Sheldon Drake has relocated
to Baltimore, Mercy Killah is moving to Japan, and Clark ov Saturn and
Spinoza are busy with other projects, so the time is right to end Undercity
on a good note. Of course, once Halcyon re-opens (hopefully in 2005), we
may be back in one form or another.
