Bryan Kasenic (The Bunker New York) mixes and interviews

Metallic drones oscillate between micro-tones, seeping down into the depths of our conscious minds. Our next guest, Bryan Kasenic, is no stranger to such sonic imagery. Anyone who has dived into the murky world of underground electronic music has undoubtedly come across The Bunker New York, which has established itself as much more than a party thanks to Kasenic's dedicated hard work. Through years of careful curation, renowned events, records, and podcasts, The Bunker has evolved into a community founded on connection through otherworldly music. 

With the launch of the sublabel Going In in 2020, Kasenic decided to promote the realms of long-form music compositions suited for more meditative moments. With 14 releases to date, he has transformed his devotion to alternative musical forms into reality. His Unrush contribution is a palpable display of this passion, turning his prowess as an experienced selector into a ruminative passage of sound that transcends time and space. So tune in, drop out, and let your thoughts dissolve into the ether.

Unrush 060

060 - Unrushed by Bryan Kasenic

For a good while, I did not think No Way Back would be a streaming event for the second year in a row, but as it became clear that was what was happening, I had to start thinking about this set. This was the opening set of the 36 hour stream, which gave me a lot of space to build things up incredibly slowly. There were a few things I knew I really wanted to include like the DJ Plead, Plastikman off "Consumed", the two Kocmoc tracks, and "Untitled #35" in tribute to Jasen Loveland. The rest was just connecting those dots to make it all work. I recorded this in one take by the stream outside my house in the Hudson Valley. I thought I would have shade for the whole 3 hours but found myself in direct sun halfway through as I started recording later than planned. The sun was sort of melting my brain and made the CDJ displays really hard to see but somehow I think it just added to the vibe. Deeply looking forward to finally reconnecting with everyone in 3D space at Tangent this Memorial Day weekend.

Bryan Kasenic's Sunday set at Paral·lel Festival in Port del Comte, 2023.

Bryan Kasenic @ Paral·lel 2023

Bryan Kasenic is an American dj, promoter and the founder of well-known The Bunker New York label. The Bunker New York began as a party, grew up into a record label, and has become a collaborative community, fostered by founder and curator Bryan Kasenic since it’s launch in 2003. The label unites diverse sounds from across the electronic music spectrum, connecting the dots between house, techno, experimental sounds, and much more. 

Bryan Kasenic delivers 60 minutes of murky and dynamic mix with a lots of twists and turns. In this hour-long set, recorded especially for Bassiani, he traipses through energetic techno, electro, breakbeat and leftfield aesthetic. Without high tempos and tensions throughout the mix, Kasenic perfectly creates dynamicity and intensity, that makes his sonic adventure very special and unique.

BRYAN KASENIC: ამერიკელი DJ და პრომოუტერი, მის სახელს უკავშირდება The Bunker New York-ის შექმნა და განვითარება. Bryan-ის სეტებში საუკეთესოდ აისახება მისი თავდადება და სიყვარული იმ მუსიკისა და ჟღერადობის მიმართ, რომელსაც ის სხვადასხვა მიმართულებით ანვითარებდა ქალაქ ნიუ-იორკში.
The Bunker New York 2013 წელს, ბრუკლინში, Bryan Kasenic-ის მიერ დაარსებული ლეიბლი, რომელიც ნიუ-იორკის ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე ცნობილი და გამორჩეული ელექტრონული მუსიკის ფართების სერიის გაგრძელებაა. The Bunker New York-ის ღამეები 2003 წელს შეიქმნა, რის მერეც ქალაქის ტექნო სცენის განსხვავებული, ექსპერიმენტული განზომილებების აღმოჩენა დაიწყო და საკუთარი მძიმე, უცნაური, პროვოკაციული ჟღერადობა ჩამოაყალიბა. The Bunker NY-ი, როგორც ლეიბლი, გარკვეულად წინა 10 წლის რეფლექსიას წარმოადგენს, დაგროვილი გამოცდილება და იდეები სტუდიურ ჩანაწერებში გადმოაქვს.

BASSIANI პოდკასტისთვის Bryan Kasenic-ის კონტრიბუცია არის ბნელი, დინამიური და ძალიან ეკლექტური მიქსი, რომელშიც საკმარისად ვხვდებით მოულოდნელობებს და საინტერესო დრამატურგიულ გადაწყვეტილებებს. ნიუ-იორკელი არტისტის და The Bunker New York-ის დამფუძნებლის ერთ საათიანი სეტი მოიცავს ტექნოს, ელექტროს, ბრეიქბითის და ლეფთფილდ ესთეტიკისთვის დამახასიათებელი კომპოზიციების განსაკუთრებულ სინთეზს. მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ არტისტი არ ცდილობს მიქსის სტრუქტურა ერთ კონკრეტულ ტემპს დაუქვემდებაროს, Kasenic-ის ჩანაწერი მაინც საკმაოდ ინტენსიური და ენერგიულია, რაც პოდკასტის ამ სერიას ნამდვილად განსაკუთრებულს ხდის.

BCB026 - Staten Island Scene Report with Bryan Kasenic

"I have been tasked many times with opening No Way Back. It's quite fun to play with the energy in the room as it goes from empty and chill to full and heaving over the course of my set. This year was obviously very different with NWB being a stream where my set started at noon instead of 11pm. I had been quarantining upstate for months with my friend Otis Mass (Massive Original), and we decided to pair his visuals to my set to do something special with the format. Without any real pressure to get a dancefloor moving, I decided to start things off very slowly and build things up for Mike Servito's set. It is always an honor to be a part of No Way Back, and this year was no different. I was quite impressed with how well the stream managed to translate the energy of what I feel is the world's best party." — Bryan Kasenic @thebunkerny
