As we are sure many of you are aware, we decided to take some time off and enjoy the rest of our summer this year. It was great seeing so many people out at all the awesome outdoor events & festivals this summer; DEMF, Mutek, Re:leaf, Communikey, Kajama, Boreal, Moose Man, Magnetawan and everything else that went down!
But the summer isn't over yet!
In order to help celebrate such an awesome summer, and as a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been supporting us over the past couple years we are proud to announce our next party!

'Will Food for Techno Party!'

Sometimes you have to lose yourself in order to find a better way. It's not a conscious decision, it can't be forced; it's just the way of the wanderer, the hobo. Joel Boychuk knows this more than most, having travelled halfway around the world in search of musical inspiration only to return home and find it waiting on his doorstep.
Growing up in Sarnia about an hour's drive from Detroit, Joel first connected with electronic music through Kraftwerk who in turn stimulated his interest in the rich techno landscape just a stone's throw away. Jeff Mills and Juan Atkins were particularly influential but it was Plastikman's Sheet One that really sealed the deal, inspiring him to start building his own loops and samples. He was soon hooking up for laptop jam sessions with Adam Young after high school and the pair gradually evolved into Tractile.
Regular trips to Untitled at Detroit's Shelter club followed and it was there that he tentatively handed Clark Warner the first Tractile demo. Richie Hawtin soon got wind of their potential and suddenly the prospect of a Minus release was on the table. For an 18-year-old kid this was mind-blowing and a deal was eventually struck at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2005. Tractile's 'Silent Movie EP' on Minus was a memorable affair of action packed tunes that hurtled forward, effortlessly shifting from rough angular beats to flowing, floor-friendly grooves at the flick of a switch. After relocating to Berlin, spending a whirlwind 13 months touring Europe, soaking up the city's electric atmosphere and collecting invaluable experience, Joel felt the constant traveling around, from show to show seemed to be disrupting the collaborative process. Soon after, Joel decided to follow his instincts and return home to pursue his own musical vision and develop his own identity.
That identity or alter ego is Hobo and it came about in a Yurt (a Mongolian tent) somewhere deep in The Pinery; a National Park close to his home in Sarnia, Canada where he spent a week last winter writing his new EP 'From A to B'. It was a bold move, embarking on a solo career and faced with the challenge of writing alone for the first time. He ventured into the wilderness not knowing what he would find. With his laptop perched on a plastic picnic table and living purely off maple syrup and water, he shook off the shackles of modern life and wandered alone through the woods, losing himself in both a spiritual and physical sense in order to harness the moment when subjective thought is overwhelmed by objectivity, and then somehow translate it into music. It's a deeply personal, exploratory approach to the creative process built on the belief that the more you put yourself into the music, the greater the chance the listener will get something meaningful out of it. The result is a collection of individual, almost stand-alone tracks defined by perception and experience. Joel freely admits that there's more emotion in this new body of work, a more vivid sense of life brought about by his close proximity to nature while recording. It's a process he intends to recreate in the future at equally inspiring locations around the world as and when the hobo in his heart yearns for more adventure.

Some people filter through the record bins, taking what are on the wall or record store employee suggestions. Then there are people who dig deeper into the dusty crates, and absorb music like a sponge; ignoring labels, bucking trends and are forever on a quest to find the perfect record. The ones that make the staunchest of chin stroking, note taking trainspotters lose their on the dancefloor, hanging on every record from one to the next.
Derek Plaslaiko unquestionably falls into the latter category. As a teen equally transfixed by Mojo and Wizard cassettes and Minor Threat, Plaslaiko followed the beats from his hometown 20 miles south of Detroit to the epicenter of Detroit techno, then enjoying its third wave of success. He quietly paid his dues on Detroit's rave circuit, and was a crucial piece of the puzzle for the legendary Poorboy and Syst3m parties of the mid-nineties. He quickly earned a reputation for forward thinking DJ sets that were clinical, sophisticated and extremely sensual. This combination resulted in a residency for Family, the weekly party at Detroit’s legendary Motor.
With a reputation for high energy sets that were versatile and tasteful, Plaslaiko slowly became in demand on the Midwestern club circuit; sharing the stage with such techno luminares as John Acquaviva, Kevin Saunderson, Richardo Villalobos, Baby Ford, and Matthew Herbert. It was also during that time Plaslaiko was asked by Carl Craig to perform at the inaugural edition of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.
In 2003, Plaslaiko became part of the original team of DJs at Detroit's Untitled parties, sharing a residency with Tadd Mullinix (aka James T. Cotton), Matthew Dear and Mike Servito. In 2004 he made the decision to head east and set up camp in New York City, determined to bring a slice of the Motor City to the Big Apple.
Currently, Derek is one of the resident DJs at the Bunker (Galapagos) in NYC, as well as an integral part of the Wolf + Lamb monthly parties. Most recently, he was honored in the Village Voice 2006's 'Best Of' poll as New York’s Best Techno DJ.

We are also proud to announce that another amazing artist, Taliya Cohen, will be joining Amira Emma and our deco team! Taliya makes beautiful installation art with raw materials and found objects and we are looking forward to see what she has in store for us!
Unfortunately due to some personal conflicts Markus (Wustenarchitekten) will not be able to join us this evening. Fortunately (for all of us) we welcome for her breakandenter debut - Elysha Poirier!
The space transformation will be out of control: from crazy decor ideas to double projector screens and the AlienInflux soundsystem. Get ready for an ass shaking night of music! One pair of dancing shoes might not be enough :)
We have also arranged some super special secret after hours action :) You will have to come out and stay out to find out the full details, but it involves a party bus (space VERY limited, we highly recommend signing up as soon as you get there!) leaving the venue at 3:00a.m. Plus we have discounted entry fees into the after hours for all 'Will Food for Techno Party' attendees (two party's for the price of one!), and another incredible headliner you can see once the HOBO jam is done!
Remember that the 'Will Food for Techno Party' headliners will be going on early this Saturday, so be sure to arrive in good time to check them all out :)
That's it for now. We will be announcing our Halloween party next week, so stay tuned!!
See you on the dance floor!
