Bunker boss man Bryan Kasenic invites respected Brooklyn producers Jake Reif and A.Arias, for a live broadcast from our NYC studio.

You’d do yourself a favor getting to know each of The Bunker’s guests this week – both have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of distinctive sounds and killer records. First up is Jake Reif, a longtime New Yorker who came up through Sonic Groove Records and Syntax Music Distribution. Along the way, he’s amassed an impressive working knowledge of techno and industrial, and he’s made wide-ranging music with the likes of Reade Truth (as Upsetting Keys) and Mystic Bill (as Savage Hymn). His recent solo work on L.I.E.S. as Device Control, however, has kick-started a breakout period in his career. Bryan Kasenic’s second guest is A.Arias, a name sure to look familiar to anyone who’s walked by a wheatpasted party poster in Brooklyn. You can find him most weekends at a club or warehouse playing in support of DJs like Steffi, Silent Servant and Mike Huckaby, and for good reason: his thousands-strong record collection is heavy on unearthed classics, and he can string together an extended set ranging from dub to house like few others in the city. As Algo-Rhythm, with JM de Frias of the Sequencias label, A.Arias also throws parties of his own (Chez Damier and DJ Sotofett have featured), and his label Strobelight Network has jumpstarted Iceland’s long-dormant Thule crew. Both guests are deserving of a little extra shine – tune in for a DJ set and interview with each.
