BUSH DÜF

BUSH DÜF abducts SILO for an enthralling night of cosmic, colorful and cathartic techno. Ben Zo curates another finely-tuned sequence of DJs to steward the bar room's 15K-watt Danley sound system toward astonishing vistas both celestial and terrestrial.

Opening our portal is Primordian, whose slippery ear for sludgy, spacey and arresting selections often have us swaying in unwavering suspense. We’ve heard him mesmerize on his 8-Ball Radio show as well as other stocky sound systems in Greenpoint, Coney Island and many places in-between. So him halting the chin-scratchers at open felt like a no-brainer for his venue debut.

Kō-An (fka Luwan) leads us to midnight and beyond by sketching riveting sci-fi soundscapes of tunes brilliant and buoyant alike. Threading the oneiric edges of techno, tech house and club, among others, into consistently transportative experiences of spongy, somatic rhythms, we’re eager to have her as the second 8-Ball resident pilot our spaceship in what’s also her first time steering the SILO decks.

Ben Zo then holds down the penultimate slot with his entertaining intuition for cinematic set design across layered decks and lengthy loops. Harmonizing the familiar and esoteric into full-bodied blends that echo long after in thought, the DÜF director consistently crafts uniquely psychedelic spaces as suited to personal reflection as connecting with others.

To conclude, a final SILO premiere to warrant a finale: Erik Braun. The Nul Records label lead and Heavy Waste co-founder is more than just a diligent and deep curator of fine techno through his Half Moon Radio residency and Redirect party series, but a head-turning mixer of hypnotic techno as thunderous as it is blissful to leave you astonished by the time the floor must clear.

As a Thursday night, there is no cover, so be sure to come early, stay late and, as always, spend liberally.
