Abby Echiverri (@echiverri) joins the Patterns of Perception imprint with Deformation, a diverse collection of playfully psychedelic techno tracks infused with a radiant cosmic energy.

Produced in 2021-22, Abby drew inspiration from the captivating physics simulations her partner was working on at the time, ultimately imbuing the music with an ethereal atmosphere that permeates the entire EP, and from which the tracks derive their names.

PTN03 presents a cohesive yet diverse collection of tracks, blending psychedelic energy with delicate and profound moments. Abby's music carries an almost hopeful quality, with drum programming that leans towards groove and shuffle, and the incorporation of diminished chords and progressions that pose questions to the listener.

Deformation is an intricate record that showcases Abby Echiverri's distinctive, three-dimensional approach to techno: one that never feels oppressive, but calls to mind a sense of exploration and freedom.

Tracklist:
A1 - Voxel
A2 - Tensile

PTN03 - Abby Echiverri - Deformation (Previews)

Acid Camp is excited to announce a new compilation album. The album celebrates the label’s 10 year anniversary with 35 artists—of which 25 are releasing with the label for the very first time.

As the largest release in the record label’s history, Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary Compilation dramatically expands upon Acid Camp All Stars Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (both 2018) with more than triple the number of featured artists. Ten return to the label, including Eric Cloutier and Jeremiah Chiu, while Abby Echiverri, Bézier, Force Placement, and 32 more celebrate their first track with Acid Camp.

From Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Berlin to Tokyo, the artists represent the breadth of the underground and independent music scenes of the 2020s and underscore the collective strength of Acid Camp’s community since 2013. The release spans dancefloor-forward acid house and techno to ambient, downtempo, and funk selections. Lyrics are cut and collaged; synths are squelched; grooves are grooved.

100% of the album's profits will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), founded over 30 years ago in 1991. PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization providing medical care and diverse humanitarian assistance to countless children in the Middle East.

“After nearly 15 years of operation, The Bunker has mastered the art of curating lineups that strike a balance between the challenging and the danceable. Also, their persistent focus on showcasing locally-bred artists makes every party feel like a reunion. In a clubbing landscape crowded with nights that either recycle old ideas or try too hard to do something new, The Bunker is that rare event that gets it just right.” - Resident Advisor 

In January of 2003, The Bunker started as a weekly party at subTonic in the Lower East Side of New York, sometimes attracting mere dozens of people every Friday for the first year. Fifteen years later it’s grown beyond an established party to encompass a record label, long-running podcast series, radio show, North American booking agency, and is now an internationally respected techno institution. In the past few years, we’ve watched our resident DJs go from local heroes to busy touring artists and have presented The Bunker parties around the world in places we never thought that we’d go to much less play. 

To celebrate our 15 years of existence, we present this 26 track, 3+ hour compilation of artists from The Bunker NY label, our agency roster, and a few new members of the family.  Most of these artists you should already know, but we’re very proud to present the debut productions from rrao, Abby Echiverri, Coward, and LDY OSC., all of whom have been involved in The Bunker community for years.

Due to the time-consuming nature of vinyl pressing and distribution, we wanted to experiment with the immediacy of a digital-only release to provide an extremely fresh example of where The Bunker family of artists are at right now. As with all releases on The Bunker New York, everything has been mastered with loving care by Neel at Enisslab in Rome. For those who love objects to go with their digital music purchases, we are offering a very limited edition of this release exclusively on The Bunker New York Bandcamp that includes a Common Name-designed deluxe boxed USB with all the tracks, a long sleeve t-shirt only available as part of this release package, stickers, and an immediate lossless download on release day. The standard digital release will be available on our Bandcamp and everywhere else you can buy music online.

15 Years of The Bunker

Various Artists - 15 Years of The Bunker compilation (BK-031) CLIPS

From the very first track, it’s clear that Abby @Echiverri’s debut, the “Ab Initio” EP is something different and rare: a polished and fresh interpretation of electronic music that incorporates classic electro squelches with intricate broken beats and expansive synthesizer zone-outs. Although this is her first EP, Abby has extensive history as a musician, sound engineer, DJ and VJ. Her current trajectory started early in childhood when she was classically trained in violin, flute, piano and vocals, cementing music as a part of her daily life. In high school she picked up turntables and began collecting records, eventually moving to NYC to study recording engineering and perform in post-punk bands, and became a regular at Wierd and The Bunker at a very young age. Since then, Echiverri has devoted her professional hours to engineering, maintaining, and manufacturing audio equipment for studios and clubs around the world.

This record’s name “Ab Initio” means “from the beginning” or “from first principles”, invoking a propulsive leap into the future and also perhaps including an element of the eponymous. When we asked her to tell us more about the process of creating these hardware-based jams, Abby explained: “It all stems from my own experiences on the dancefloor and wanting to recreate that for other people.  I want to make music that rewires the brain: music that is challenging, yet groovy... repetitive, yet evolving.  An aural psychedelic.  It's a lofty goal - I'm still working on it.” If Ab Initio is one of her first steps towards that goal then we can’t wait to see what happens next.

The second chapter in the Mysteries compilation series is a departure from the airy, ethereal style of its predecessor, and instead offers an energetic, vibrant selection of tracks that fits with the summer season of its release. This comp is characterized by broken rhythm and lush ambience from a range of accomplished artists in New York and beyond, including but not limited to Tin Man, Abby Echiverri, rrao, Clay Wilson, M Parent, and label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry.

This is an anthology characterized by thought and intention; each track is a shining example of the artist’s distinct sound and craft. The first few arrangements bring to mind the natural world: a jungle’s canopy or a sweltering day. Tin Man contributes a bright, tonal opening, amplified by the distant sound of birds, before tdel’s “Nu,” minimal and percussive, leads us into deeper territory. Abby Echiverri’s “Varzea” builds off of this organically, providing rhythmic depth and hypnotic layering in a style reminiscent of the late 90’s.

The tracks sonically gel, and yet there are deviances in genre that make this a dynamic, compelling release. M Parent’s “Mysteries of the Street” is restrained, atmospheric electro at its finest. Clay Wilson and Obelus provide sparse, IDM-tinged rhythmic dreams, at once transcendent and visceral. “Shyama,” from rrao, is filled with meditative vocal loops that resound like a mantra. The contributions of label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry are examples of exquisite sound design. Each production is a testament to the skill and vision of each artist. Whether you’re seeking rhythmic or arrhythmic varieties of experimental music, this compilation is a superior selection of tracks, primed to withstand the test of time.
