Dear friends;
On Friday August 26th, we do hope you can join us in celebrating this very
special occasion.
FRIDAY//26AUG05//SOUNDBAR//226 W. ONTARIO
aesoma: THE MEIOTIC 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
The MEIOTIC group was born out of an idea hatched in the Winter of 2001 by a
small collective of music enthusiasts seeking to provide an elevated
platform of exposition in the City of Chicago for artists truly pushing the
creative envelope of electronic music. Since then, our event features at a
various array of venues (Abbey Pub, Empty Bottle, Smartbar, Tini Martini,
etc.) have brought to light players (i.e. live pa's, dj's, etc.) of the
unconventional and abstract, excelling in both listening and dancefloor
contexts without regard for fashionable trends or media dictated boundaries
in music.
To commemorate the anniversary of our first event back in the summer of
2002, we proudly present AESOMA: the Meiotic 3 Year Anniversary. A
celebration of musical artistry, AESOMA will feature a selection of some of
the electronic music world?s most iconic figures at one of Chicago?s premier
nightclub venues, the incomparable SOUND-BAR.
AKUFEN -- MONTREAL
Fabric|Perlon|ForceInc|Background|MusiqueRisquee
Chicago Debut performance!
Montreal-based Marc LeClair is AKUFEN, whose productions incorporating his
signature "microsampling" process are well renowned in music circles
worldwide and regarded as defining records for the entire "Microhouse"
genre. His 2002 tour de force "My Way" (Force Inc), using technology to
produce an immense array of cut up sounds, bringing to fruition textures
ranging from the deep & dubby, to the playful & jack-inducing. Akufen?s
musical exploits have put him in the top tier of electronic music makers
worldwide, further cemented with barnstorming performances at Mutek Chile,
SONAR, and DEMF/FUSE-IN, as well as with his participation in techno
supergroup NAROD NIKI (founded by Ricardo Villalobos, and featuring Ritchie
Hawtin, Dimbiman, Monolake, Akufen, Dandy Jack, Daniel Bell, Cabanne,
Luciano and Villalobos) at Montreal?s 2003 Mutek Festival. We are honored to
welcome Mr. LeClair as a guest at our Anniversary party in this, his first
ever Chicago performance.
JOHN TEJADA -- LOS ANGELES
Palette|PlugResearch|Playhouse|Pokerflat|7th City
Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, JOHN TEJADA?S
recordings fall across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with
spacious arrangements, to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic
tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home
stereo. Normally associated with his peers from Detroit and Germany, John?s
releases for the likes of A13, deFocus, Multiplex, Playhouse, Plug Research,
Moods & Grooves, and his very own Palette Recordings, have transcended the
easy limitations of genre and style. His varied yet consistently excellent
output have assured him a proper spot amongst electronic music?s most highly
regarded, and we are very much honored to have him for his return to
Chicago.
SV4 aka SAM VALENTI -- ANN ARBOR
Ghostly|Spectral
vs.
TODD OSBORNE -- DETROIT
Ghostly|Spectral|Rephlex|Rewind|ViolentTurd|DataBass
With all the accolades given them in the past year, in the end, it?s still
the music that has Ann Arbor?s GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL juggernaut firmly
established as one the most exciting independent record labels in the world.
With arguably the deepest talent pool (Matthew Dear, Tadd Mullinix, KMC,
Lusine, etc) of any indie label in North America, they continue to gem after
musical gem. Under the guidance of labelhead/owner/mastermind, SAM VALENTI
(aka SV4), the label?s fusing of strong visual presence with the ambitious
(yet impressive) musical artistry of their roster has enthusiasts around the
world rightly identifying with Ghostly?s musical distinction and
grassroots-DIY aesthetic. SV4 graciously takes to the decks for us here on
our anniversary night in a monstrous tag team collab with dextrous Ghostly
virtuoso TODD OSBORNE (Afrika/Bout Ready to Jak/Daylight), in a performance
that will undoubtedly go down as an unforgettable one, to say the least.
