"this is all original & unreleased, mostly from 2020 & 2021 but some from 2018 or so. what they have in common is that i felt at peace while making them and they still help me feel at peace listening back. this is why i make & share music - i hope it does the same thing for you."

Passing it clockwise (08:32 - Ali Berger)

This set was recorded live at No Way Back at The Bunker in Brooklyn on December 2, 2011. This is a live Bee Mask set, everything you hear is an original production performed live on machines that fit into the tiny yellow case you see on the cover art.

The Bunker Podcast 80: Tin Man

This set was recorded live at The Bunker at Public Assembly on August 3, 2012.  Pittsburgh Track Authority drove from Pittsburgh in a car packed to the brim with gear and filled up the entire stage with all live hardware their set-up.  Their live sets are quite rare in general, and this was their first and (so far) only live gig outside the city of Pittsburgh.  As you can hear, they absolutely murdered the place.  They've since put out a bunch more records and will be self-releasing their debut album this year.

The Bunker Podcast 81: Pittsburgh Track Authority

For years now, an old recording of Jeffrey Sfire at Cocktail D'Amore's one and only cosmic hole was one of the highest references for us in terms of downtempo Italo sleaze - an almost 6 hours recording serving more like a PhD aural dissertation specialized in some of the most remarkable dancefloor digs (mainly Europe) had to offer in the 80s at under 115BPM. To be able to share it publicly on the HAND Mix Series as we reach number 50 is a huge honor and we're greatly thankful to Giacomo and Giovanni, the two cuties behind Discodromo that made this possible. We hope you can appreciate it as much as we have over these past years. Here it is HAND #50 featuring the unique sleazy wizardry of Jeffrey Sfire captured in a special moment in time during the moist and lubricated atmospheres of Cocktail, now online - listen carefully! Big thanks to Jeffrey for all the amazing research and excellence in cosmic Jockeymanship ❤️❤️❤️

There’s 8,000 miles between the Midwest and Somaliland but if you close your eyes, for a moment, you can feel the bumps of the taxi on unpaved road traveling between Hargeisa to Gashamo, the lyrical Somali language passing around the cabin. Minnesotan Somali-American DJ and founder of UNBOTHERED, a party magnifying the best in the underground, YASMEENAH paints a colorful image in 63 minutes.

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

SPEED is back with another round of the Artist Invitation Mix series, featuring an incredible artist. We're excited to present a mix from @jaymiesilk representing Paris, France for this edition of the series.

Jaymie Silk is a Paris-based artist whose music defies the conventional boundaries of techno and house. Influenced by his Afro-European heritage, early years as a rap producer, and the ballroom scene in Montreal, his sound is uniquely diverse. Noted for blending Jersey Club rhythms with African percussion and techno, his avant-garde style has earned support from DJs like VTSS, Anja Schneider, and Skream. Juno Daily describes him as a "prodigy" in the lineage of "great black innovators of house and techno.

INFRA MIX 003 - LUFER

“For the closing night of Return to the Source at the @ithqdetroit presents @thebunkerny party, we have a night of unique pairings, back to back sets from people who knew each other mostly, but usually don’t play together. After a full weekend of non stop great music, what better than the drama of the unknown combinations to keep you fully engaged, with deeply curated pairings and flows for each room. On May 27, @mikeservito x @jeffreysfire scheduled from 1am until 3am. Mike Servito always majestically closes out No Way Back, but what would this combination bring? Sfire brought the heat, and their styles melded in a slightly pitched down form, music from all eras appeared. To me, it was a form of sonic bliss. I went and asked the Danny from Bing (who does the sound and built the speakers for the Garden Stage) if he minded if we went later, he was all for it. So were Servito and Sfire, and it just kept getting better and better. The crowd was totally locked in, the feeling was ecstatic, it was truly a beautiful moment. A magical closing set that naturally extended from two hours to 5 hours of pure heat from two DJs whose whole life is this music and this culture — who could ask for more?” — BMG

Catch Servito and Sfire playing an extended set to close out No Way Back NYC presented by The Bunker at the Chocolate Factory as a day party on Sunday November 12:
