Mala Junta: Yazzus / Akua / FASHION / DJ TOOL / Kilopatrah Jones / Alfonso Javier

Mala Junta returns for a full-venue takeover. The Berlin collective continues to astonish, epitomizing everything vital about the modern techno underground. Yazzus steps up to headline BASEMENT. A self-professed proponent of “bitchy techno,” Yazzus seizes control of the room with a nonstop torrent of high energy club bangers, each slightly more tweaked than the last. Simply put, Yazzus gets it, tapping into a raw and direct current of pure adrenaline soaked fun without sacrificing craft, depth or impact. No one is going to do it like she does, so accept no substitutes. Akua adds a dose of searing, visionary techno to the mix. A major figure in the US underground, Akua is now based in Germany, but her impact on the city remains large. At a time when techno was drifting into a conservative cul de sac, Akua stepped up with a finely-attuned take on high BPM impact that was as bracing and revitalizing as a plunge in ice cold waters. Since then, her strength has only increased, and she has evolved into one of the most exciting techno DJs working today. NYC icon Fashion completes the night. A singular figure in the city’s nightlife underground, Fashion harnesses the power of club music with pure conviction, ripping through sets like a force of nature. When she’s on, there are no rules.

DJ Tool takes control in STUDIO. Known for his full-throttle rides, DJ Tool captures a quintessential locus where propulsive, techy rollers, psychedelic soundscapes and unruly club energy intersect. His sets breathe with carefully attuned spaciousness and a masterful restraint, while also bristling with defiant, deviant energy. For this night, Tool has put together a very special house set to match the room. Get ready. Kilopatrah Jones is one of NY’s great breakouts of the last half decade. An artist of unstoppable power and boundless charisma, Jones makes timeless house feel fresh all over again. Now a performer with an international profile, they continue to represent with the buoyant, effusive joy that is their hallmark. Alfonso Javier, fka ANTOJITO, returns to the room. Now a mainstay on NY club culture, Javier has spent the last decade carving out his own path, and under the new alias a fresh chapter begins.
