minimal techno + avant house
every 1st Saturday at The Endup
featuring from Chile:
PIER BUCCI - LIVE
(Crosstown Rebels . Cadenza . Cynosure . Contexterrior)
(Wagon Repair . Vendetta . BPitch Control . Cocoon)
Originally capturing the international spotlight alongside fellow
Chilean artists Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano, Pier Bucci
has over the last decade become one of the most respected
names in modern techno, due in part to tracks like 2007's
monster hit, "Hay Consuelo". His unique live performance,
which fuses Latin rhythms and elegant melodies with a
German sense of efficiency and dancefloor-friendly beats,
has landed him slots at top clubs across the globe, as well
as appearances at most major festivals including Sonar,
MUTEK, and DEMF.
and from Toronto via Berlin:
JEREMY P. CAULFIELD
(Dumb-Unit . Trapez . WMF Records)
(Ware . Num . Alphahouse . Adjunct)
As a DJ of 15 years and an integral figure in the rise of
the Toronto techno scene, Jeremy P. Caulfield is a rare
example of an artist who can deftly combine experience,
skill, and forward-thinking ideas in style. In addition to
running the acclaimed "neuro-minimal" label Dumb-Unit,
these days Jeremy plays the world's best clubs and festivals
nearly every weekend, thanks to his tricked-out, re-edit
heavy sets which have established him as one of North
America's finest DJs.

PIER BUCCI
Pier Bucci is on a quest to create his own vision of complex atmospheric
rhythms. Much has been written about the recent emergence of Chile as an
unexpected source of cutting edge electronica. Pier, alongside fellow
countrymen and women are producing some of the finest and most original
electronic music at the moment.
Pier's own take on techno uses classic Latin rhythms and vocals, with his
love of abstract electronics, and Sheffield bleeps, combining this with his
haunting Andean melodies, whilst colorful characters zip through his music,
makes a lively collage of influences, underpinned by solid dancefloor beats.
A brief history of the last ten years show's Pier to be very busy. From the
first releases in the late 90's on Dandy Jack's Ruta 5 Austral compilation,
four acclaimed e.p.'s and a highly acclaimed album for Crosstown Rebels. The
fruits of his collaborations with Luciano, bore the Monne Automnne [Lo-Fi
Stereo, Germany] and Lucien-n-Luciano album projects for labels such as
Peacefrog and Cadenza, Skipsapien together with Daniel Nieto [u-cover,
Belgium; Mutek Rec, Canada], Mambotur with Argenis Brito [Multicolor,
Germany], Bucci/Pink Elln together with Tobias Freund [Cynosure Records,
Canada] and works with his brother Andres as Bucci [WMF Rec, Berlin;
Cynosure Records, Canada] have been equally well received.
Last year we had releases on Wagon Repair, Cocoon, Cynosure and remixes for
BPitch Control. The single of Hay Consuelo and the Chiloé e.p. for the
Rebels.
In 2008 Pier has and the soon to be released album collaboration with Max
Loderbauer and Argenis Brito as Maluco on Karaoke Kalk and further Pier
Bucci e.p.'s are to follow in this year.
After all this studio time and experience, it's easy to understand why
Pier's live set is known as one the best around. His explosive combination
of Latin & European influences, dynamically delivered, is always guaranteed
dancefloor entertainment.

JEREMY P. CAULFIELD
At a time when so much techno feels like endless variations on a played-out
theme, it’s heartening to know that there are still a handful of artists,
labels and DJs who can combine experience, skill and forward-looking ideals
in style. Step forward Jeremy P. Caulfield, who amply ticks all of the above
boxes.
As proprietor of leading neuro-minimal imprint Dumb-Unit, DJ of
widely-acclaimed repute, and occasional producer of stripped-back, ominous
dancefloor bombs, Jeremy has emerged from his early days on the Canadian
techno circuit to become a leading light of today’s underground club scene.
Using his fifteen years of DJing experience as a springboard, Jeremy has
utilised Dumb-Unit as a pivotal platform for the blossoming careers of
artists including Butane, Lee Curtiss, Sweet N’ Candy and Seph, loosely
defining a hinterland micro-scene of murky, intricate sounds that play with
the darkest recesses of the mind while remaining firmly attached the
propulsive drive of the dance-floor.
It’s an ambiguous definition best articulated by his series of
Detached:Works mix tapes and CDs, which over the course of three volumes and
10 years neatly plots Jeremy’s evolution from sparky underground enthusiast
to undisputed connoisseur of finely-tuned contemporary techno. From early
residencies at Toronto’s legendary Blue and Fukhouse parties (where he
knocked around with like-minded local jocks Adam Marshall, Ian Guthrie and
Jeff Milligan, while playing alongside techno deities like Richie Hawtin,
Derrick May and Jeff Mills), Jeremy’s established himself as one of North
America’s finest DJs. In 2008 alone, alongside his residency at Watergate,
(in his adopted home of Berlin) Jeremy has played nearly every weekend
across the globe, including gigs at renown clubs and festivals such as
Fabric, Fuse, Mutek, and the Sonne Mond Sterne Festival and tours of Japan,
Australia and South America .
Meanwhile, his rare but intricate rocking live shows surface every once in a
while to remind us that his darkly-tinged, boiled-down beats and distantly
unsettling grooves are one of the most precious jewels in the jagged DU
crown. Check his killer releases Dumb-Unit, Trapez and WMF if you need any
proof.
Somewhere between his smart, re-edit heavy sets, his vigorously spiky artist
releases, and his scandalously consistent label, there lurks the charred,
elusive heart of Jeremy P. Caulfield. The fun part is trying to find it.
