Purist Online Presents
A live electronica showcase featuring performances by:
Mr. Projectile [Toytronic]
Syndrone [Merck]
Mitchell Akiyama [Subtractif]
Joshua Treble [Pitchcadet]
Mr. Projectile > Toytronic, Topscore < Minneapolis, MN
For those who have ever pondered the word "Dance" in Intelligent Dance Music, we challenge you to
come witness the sheer brilliance of Mr. Projectile. Supporting his critically acclaimed debut album
'Pug Times' on the celebrated Toytronic label, home to such acts as Gimmik, Multiplex, and Num Num,
Mr. Projectile is sure to captivate his audience with an innovative aural display of heavy beats,
strong melodies, tight production, and glitchy electronica. U.K.'s Plaid [Warp] describes Mr.
Projectile's music as "...amazing." Not to be missed!
Syndrone > aka Machine Drum - Merck records, Component < Charlotte, NC
Syndrone is Travis Stewart from North Carolina, who may be better known for his work as the glitchy
hip hop act Machine Drum. Both projects have enjoyed successful releases on the renowned Miami label
Merck, who have also released works by Lackluster, MD, Ilkae, and Proem, as well as the excellent
'Squadron' and 'Aurora' compilations. Syndrone's debut release 'Triskaideka' received critical
praise for its tight production, stinging glitch, complex beats, crisp synthwork, and addictive
rhythms. Comparable to acts like Phonem [Morr Music], Autechre [Warp], and Proem [Merck, n5md,
Hydrant], Syndrone will hit Chicago for the first time with his innovative brand of noise and glitch
laden IDM fare.
Mitchell Akiyama > Intr_version, Alien8/Substractif < Montreal, Quebec
Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Mitchell Akiyama's music can be best described as beautiful,
down-tempo electronica, incorporating rich melodies, addictive beats, and rewarding accessibility.
Mitchell's two full-length albums 'Intr_verse' and 'Hope That Lines Don't Cross' both met with
critical acclaim. Mitch is the hard working head honcho at the Intr_version label, with upcoming
releases by Mr. Projectile, Joshua Treble, and Jetone scheduled for the future. Recently, the more
stripped down/fragmented sounds of artists such as kit clayton, vladislav delay, komet and alva noto
have exerted their influence on his work. Come hear what Mitch has in store for his Chicago debut
performance.
Joshua Treble > Pitchcadet, aii.fm < Cincinnati, OH
With 2 excellent e.p.s on aii.fm, Cincinnati's Joshua Treble makes his Chicago debut to support his
new full-length album 'Cold Filthy Techniques to Keep You Close' on Pitchcadet. An eclectic blend of
controlled glitch, sharp beats, and beautifully layered melodies, married with a constantly shifting
wall of complex electronics. Uncompromising and invitingly volatile, Joshua Treble will surely
change any preconceived notions of what electronic music should be.
